Study Notes
Mental Imagery Comparison
- Mental imagery relies exclusively on top-down processing, distinguishing it from perception.
Research on Mental Imagery
- Psychologists have conducted more research on visual imagery compared to other types, particularly auditory imagery.
Importance of Spatial Skills
- Spatial ability is crucial for careers in science and technology, emphasizing its relevance in educational contexts.
History of Mental Imagery Research
- The popularity of mental imagery research surged with the influence of cognitive psychology in the latter half of the 20th century.
Analog Code Definition
- An analog code is a representation closely resembling the physical object, reflecting its attributes.
Mental Image Representation
- If stored in an analog code, a mental image reflects the specific features and facial arrangement of the object, such as a person's face.
Propositional Code Representation
- A mental image stored in a propositional code emphasizes a language-like description, focusing less on spatial attributes and more on verbal details.
Storage of Mental Imagery
- Proponents of propositions argue that storage of mental imagery is most analogous to language, rather than visual or spatial representations.
Understanding Coding Types
- An analog code highlights physical resemblance, while a propositional code focuses on abstract representations not tied to physical structure.
