    1. Mental Imagery and Cognitive Maps Chapter 7

    2. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images not directly observable fade quickly Imagery debate perception vs. language analog code (depictive representation/pictorial representation) vs. propositional code (descriptive representation)

    3. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images studying mental imageryif a mental image resembles a physical object, then people must make judgments about a mental image in the same way that they make judgments about the corresponding physical object

    4. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Rotation Shepard and Metzler's Research same/different task using pairs of line drawings images two- vs. three-dimensions reaction time to decide same/different decision time influenced by the amount of rotation required to match the figures

    5. geometric shapes Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7

    6. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 Mental Rotation

    7. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Rotation Recent Research on Mental Rotation other stimuli (e.g., letters of alphabet) age practice and lack of generalization ASL support for the analog coding approach

    8. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Distance Stephen Kosslyn time to scan the distance between two points in a mental image experimenter expectancy distance in auditory images

    9. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Shape Paivio (1978) hands on imaginary clock high-imagery vs. low-imagery participants Shepard and Chipman (1970) more complex shapes: U.S. states

    10. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Interference Visual and Auditory Imagery visual imagery can interfere with visual perception auditory imagery can interfere with auditory perception Segal and Fusella (1970) create visual or auditory image detect physical stimulus people had more problems detecting the physical stimulus when the image and the signal were in the same sensory mode

    11. Cognition 7e, Margaret Matlin Chapter 7 The Characteristics of Mental Images Imagery and Interference Motor Imagery Wexler and colleagues (1998) joy-stick task involving rotation clockwise or counterclockwise view geometric figure and imagine rotating it clockwise or counterclockwise judge second figure as same or different judgments slower when the motor movement was opposite to the mental image
