I never thought that this useless tid bit of knowledge would come in handy.
Yes the human brain is programmed to put things together so that it will recognize things that may not be there.
Now studies show that people who can recognize things quickly or are good with spotting "what's wrong with this image" actually have a better ability to learn. This is because of their ability to qucikly see the image in their mind's eye and scan it there faster than their eyes.
And you ask how do you get this? Well most of us should have passed this point in our lives. By watching cartoons at the ages of 3 years of age to 6 years, and in between 12 years to 14-15ish years. Your brain goes through it's own growth spurts then and learns how to learn the most. And by watching cartoons all those years you were actually learning how to quickly recognize in your mind's eye.
