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

Describe the conceptual peg hypothesis.As examples, use the experimental results from the presentation of concrete vs.abstract noun pairs.Explain the paired-associate learning task, and provide examples of stimuli that had high recall in the task.

The water-pouring problem, in particular, shows that its solution using imagery cannot depend on

Dominic is at a job interview sitting across from the company's CEO, Ms.Bing.While she takes a phone call, Dominic tries to recall her first name.
