The perceptual phenomenon you are referring to exists in pattern perception, and is referred to as seeing a subjective contour.
This perceptual tendency is called closure. It refers to the brain's ability to visually fill in missing information to perceive a whole object even when parts of it are missing or incomplete.
It is called self-enhancement bias or self-serving bias, where individuals have a tendency to perceive themselves in a more positive light than others perceive them.
This type of problem solving is referred to using a heuristic. Specifically in this case, a familiarity heuristic where the assumption is made that past behaviors can be correctly applied to the current situation.
Yes, the principle you are referring to is called "closure." It describes how individuals tend to mentally fill in missing parts of a visual image to perceive it as a complete whole. This principle is a key component of Gestalt psychology.
That tendency is called cognitive rigidity, where individuals rely on familiar strategies and solutions even when they may not be the most effective for a given situation. Cognitive rigidity can hinder innovation and problem-solving by limiting the exploration of new possibilities.
The tendency to remember first impressions over last impressions is called the primacy effect. This cognitive bias refers to the tendency for individuals to recall information presented at the beginning of a sequence better than information presented later on.

This is called relative motion. Relative to your frame of reference, the object's motion appears unchanged, even though it's motion has actually changed.
It is called central tendency because it represents the averages. Central tendency has three measurements: # Mean # Mode # Median
Rods, which perceive black and white and gray, and cones, which perceive color.
