Multimodal mental imagery
When I am looking at my coffee machine that makes funny noises, this is an instance of multisensory perception - I perceive this event by means of both vision and audition. But very often we only receive sensory stimulation from a multisensory event by means of one sense modality, for example, when I hear the noisy coffee machine in the next room, that is, without seeing it. The aim of this pap...
متن کاملBeyond visual imagery: how modality-specific is enhanced mental imagery in synesthesia?
Synesthesia based in visual modalities has been associated with reports of vivid visual imagery. We extend this finding to consider whether other forms of synesthesia are also associated with enhanced imagery, and whether this enhancement reflects the modality of synesthesia. We used self-report imagery measures across multiple sensory modalities, comparing synesthetes' responses (with a variet...

All imagery allows us to answer 'what if' questions by making explicit and accessible the likely consequences of being in a specific situation or performing a specific action. Imagery is also characterized by its reliance on perceptual representations and activation o...
متن کاملSketching as Mental Imagery Processing
Analysis of results of design protocols of novice and expert designers, although based on a limited number of designers, has shown that there are differences in the balance of cognitive actions between them. In this paper, we investigate the possible reasons for this imbalance in cognitive activity between the novice and expert designers in the rate of information processing driven by their rel...

However, our ability to imagine the world around us in the absence of stimulation from that world is perhaps even more amazing. Our capacity to re-experience objects or scenarios that we’ve encountered before, and to notice new things abo...
