The ability to form images in your mind without actual stimuli.

The experience of 'seeing' without a visual stimulus present.

Discussion on how mental images are represented, spatially or propositionally.

A way of representing information through physical space and locations.

Representing information through logical statements about objects and their relationships.

The process of visualizing an object from different angles in one’s mind, showing a linear relationship with response time.

A technique where one imagines moving through a space or object mentally to gauge its dimensions or attributes.

The enhancement of memory through visual associations and structured imagery.

A memory technique that involves placing items to remember in specific locations within a mental image of a space.

Images that are combined in a way that helps enhance recall compared to static images.

A mnemonic strategy that uses rhyme and imagery to remember sequences of items.

The effect where unusual or bizarre images can enhance memorization to some extent.

A mnemonic technique where words are associated with numbers through rhyme to aid memory.

Neurons that fire in response to visual imagery and specific categories of objects.

The primary visual receiving area in the brain, involved in processing imagery.

Brain responses that are measured to assess processing of concrete and abstract nouns.

Concrete nouns are easily visualized (like 'truck'), while abstract nouns are harder (like 'peace').

Research involving patients with brain injuries to understand brain functions related to imagery.

A brain region involved in processing both imagery and auditory information.

Research techniques that visualize brain activity during tasks, showing areas activated by imagery.

The theory that visual imagery is spatial in nature.

The connection between how far you are from an object and how much detail you can see.

The area you can see which affects the details perceived.

An exercise to visualize walking towards an object to estimate distance.

Imagery requires effort, while perception is automatic.

Imagined images are less stable compared to perceived images.

When an image occupies the entire visual field during imagery.

Paivio's concept that memory is supported by both visual and verbal systems.

Imagery and perception share mechanisms but are not identical.

Proof that images created in the mind are spatially represented.

Nouns that can create visual images, enhancing memory retention.

Nouns that are difficult to visualize, leading to poorer memory recall.

A memory technique where participants recall a word associated with another word.

Suggests that concrete nouns provide image 'pegs' for remembering other words.

A mnemonic where information is remembered by associating it with a list of words.
