Exam 10: Visual Imagery

In explaining the paradox that imagery and perception exhibit a double dissociation,Behrmann and coworkers suggested that perception necessarily involvesprocessing and imagery starts as aprocess.

Which of the following has been used as an argument AGAINST the idea that imagery is spatial in nature?

Amedi and coworkers used fMRI to investigate the differences between brain activation for perception and imagery.Their findings showed that when participants were,some areas associated with non-visual sensation (such as hearing and touch)were.

Shepard and Meltzer's "image rotation" experiment was so influential and important to the study of cognition because it demonstrated

One of Sarah's friends asks her to describe her new house by asking her how many windows are on the front of it.After a minute,Sarah answers 12.She has most likely usedin answering the question.

Imagery neurons respond to

Suppose that,as a participant in an imagery study,you are asked to memorize the four outside walls of a three-story rectangular house.Later,you are asked to report how many windows are on the front of the house.You will probably be fastest to answer this question if you create an image as though you were standing

"Early" researchers of imagery (beginning with Aristotle until just prior to the dominance of behaviorism)proposed all of the following ideas EXCEPT

In their imagery study,Finke and Pinker presented a four-dot display briefly to participants.After a two-second delay,participants then saw an arrow,and their task was to indicate whether the arrow would have pointed to any of the dots in the previous display.The significance of their results was they called into question the explanation of imagery.

Examples like Paul McCartney's composition of the song "Yesterday" and Jack Nicklaus's improvement of his golf swing demonstrate a connection between imagery and

Mental imagery involves

Suppose we asked people to form simultaneous images of two or more animals such as a rabbit alongside an elephant.Then,we ask them basic questions about the animals.For example,we might ask if the rabbit has whiskers.Given our knowledge of imagery research,we would expect the fastest response to this question when the rabbit is imagined alongside

In drawing conclusions about the relationship between imagery and perception,a notable difference between them is that

Kosslyn's transcranial magnetic stimulation experiment on brain activation that occurs in response to imagery found that the brain activity in the visual cortex
