    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.
