Syntax
var newArray = arr.filter(callback[, thisArg])

Parameters described in the following section include callback, element, index, array, and thisArg. As you can see, the syntax example only shows callback and thisArg. If you look at another array prototype, such as Array.prototype.map, you will see the syntax is much more complete with all the parts included. 

var new_array = arr.map(function callback(currentValue, index, array) {
    // Return element for new_array
}[, thisArg])

[Tooru Fujisawa [:arai]]

element, index, and array are parameters for callback function.
I guess it needs explicit example like `callback = function(element, index, array) {...}` tho
