Study Notes

Cognitive Psychology

Imagery

  • Imagery is the mental representation of things that are not currently seen or sensed by the sense organs.
  • It involves mental images of objects, events, and settings.
  • Examples of imagery include recalling sights, sounds, and smells of a past experience, such as the smell of cut grass, tall buildings, or tree-lined paths on a college campus.

Types of Knowledge Structures

  • There are two kinds of knowledge structures: declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge.

Spatial Cognition

  • Cognitive maps are a part of spatial cognition.

Guided Imagery Techniques

  • Guided imagery techniques are used to facilitate mental imagery.

Note: Some sections of the original text did not provide sufficient information to generate meaningful bullet points, so they were omitted from the study notes.
