Fundamentals
When you are able to visually see something that is not there
What is mental imagery?
Which form of mental image storing is responsible for memorizing an almost identical copy of the image perceived on your retina
What is the analog approach?
Name the experimental psychologists that studied the effects of image rotation and decision time
What is Shepard & Metzler (1971)?
Name the two kinds stimuli that may be involved when memorizing an object
What is visual stimuli and auditory stimuli?
Which form of mental image storing is responsible for memorizing objects in a verbal "descriptive" form as opposed to memorizing its physical features
What is propositional-code approach?
Name the experimental study that found that participants are typically creating mental images using both the analog approach and propositional-code approach
What is Finke and Colleagues (1989)?
Imagery and perception are known to be stored in which kind of the following kinds of memory: short-term, working, or long-term
What is long-term memory?
Name one way in which mental imagery can help you in your day-to-day life?
What is organization (I.e. reorganizing closet or re-decorating bedroom) or spatial awareness (I.e. driving or imagining if your car can fit into a parking spot)?
Name the experimental study that found reversing mental images that are memorized are difficult; while reversing an ambiguous image that is directly in your perceptual span is easy
What is Chambers and Reisberg (1985)?
Name the type of brain scan that requires a small injection of radiation that provides a clear view of the activated portions of the brain.
What is a Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan)?
What percentage of the brain responsible for visual perception is also active during visual imagery
What is 70%-90%?
Name the study that discovered almost all areas of the brain activated during visual perception are also activated during visual imagery
What is Kosslyn (2004)?
Name the two ways in which a mental image can be stored
What is the analog perspective approach or propositional-code approach?
What is the other name commonly associated with mental imagery
What is visual imagery or imagery?
Name the experimental study that discovered that specifically focused on how reaction time and the amount of rotation in an image are directly correlated
What is Takeda and Colleagues (2010)?
