Exam 10: Visual Imagery

Imagery neurons respond to

Your text describes the case of M.G.S.who underwent brain surgery as treatment for severe epilepsy.Testing of M.G.S.pre- and post-surgery revealed that the right visual cortex is involved in the

As described in your text, the pegword technique relies on all of the following EXCEPT

The technique in which things to be remembered are placed at different locations in a mental image of a spatial layout is known as

To explain the fact that some neuropsychological studies show close parallels between perceptual deficits and deficits in imagery, while other studies do not find this parallel, it has been proposed that the mechanism for imagery is located at _____ visual centers and the mechanism for perception is located at _____ visual centers.

The conceptual peg hypothesis would predict enhanced memory for which word pair?

Discuss mental rotation experimental results and mental-scanning experimental results that support the idea that the spatial experience for both imagery and perception match the layout of the actual stimulus.

Kosslyn's island experiment used the _____ procedure.

The propositional approach uses all of the following to describe the mechanism responsible for mental imagery EXCEPT

Kosslyn concluded that the image field is limited in size.This conclusion was drawn from the _____ experiment.

Luis is taking his girlfriend, Rosa, to a resort town neither one of them has visited.Luis wants to make a good impression on Rosa, so he spends the week before the trip reading about fun places to go while they are there.He also memorizes a map of the small resort town so he can lead her around without bothering to ask for directions.When they arrive, they first visit a botanical garden.When Rosa says, "Where to next?" Luis conjures a mental image of the map and says, "art museum." Let's assume the garden was six inches due south on the map and that it took Luis four seconds to scan the map image between the two.After they visit the museum, Luis takes Rosa to a fancy restaurant.On the map, the restaurant was three inches northwest of the museum, so it is most likely that when Luis scanned the image to find the restaurant, the scan took approximately _____ seconds.

Suppose we ask people to perform the following cognitive tasks.Which is LEAST likely to strongly activate the visual cortex?

A circular plate rests at the center of a small square table.Around the table are a total of four chairs, one along each side of the square table.A person with unilateral neglect sits down in one of the chairs and eats from the plate.After he is "finished," he moves to the next chair on his right and continues to eat from the plate.Assuming he never moves the plate and he continues with this procedure (moving one chair to the right and eating)how many chairs will he have to sit in to eat all the food on the plate?

Which statement below is most closely associated with the early history of the study of imagery?

Carly is an interior design student.As part of her internship, she is redesigning a small kitchen for a client.She would like to expand the kitchen and add a dining area.Before creating sketches for the client, she imagines the new layout in her mind, most likely using

Your text describes imagery performance of a patient with unilateral neglect.This patient was asked to imagine himself walking in a familiar plaza and to report the objects he saw.His behavior shows

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

Much has been learned about imagery using physiological techniques.Explain how each of these techniques (brain imaging, removal of part of the brain, neuropsychology, and single-neuron recordings)has demonstrated parallels between imagery and perception.

Wilma is a famous chef.Since she does not like to share her secret family recipes, she does not write down her special creations, which makes it difficult to remember their ingredients.To aid her memory, she has created a unique "mental walk" that she takes to recall each recipe.For each one, she has a familiar "route" she can imagine walking through (e.g., from the end of her driveway to her living room)where she places each item in the recipe somewhere along the way (e.g., Tabasco sauce splattered on the front door).By doing so, Wilma is using _____ to organize her memories.

Mental-scanning experiments found
