The relationship between visual perception and visual mental imagery: a reappraisal of the neuropsychological evidence.

Visual perception and visual mental imagery, the faculty whereby we can revisualise a visual item from memory, have often been regarded as cognitive functions subserved by common mechanisms. Thus, the leading cognitive model of visual mental imagery ...

Minds ear in a musician: where and when in the brain.

The temporospatial pattern of brain activity during auditory imagery was studied using magnetoencephalography. Trained musicians were presented with visual notes and instructed to imagine the corresponding sounds. Brain activity specific to the auditory ...

Word imageability and N400 in an incidental memory paradigm.

High imagery words are memorized better than low imagery words. To examine how these words are processed at encoding, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded in an incidental memory paradigm. Frequency-matched high and low imagery words (45 words ...

Relationship among sex, imagery, and exercise dependence symptoms.

There is limited research examining the physical (e.g., sex) and psychological correlates (e.g., imagery) of exercise dependence despite its harmful effects. The purposes of this study were to examine sex differences and the predictive ability of ...

Adolescents reactions to the imagery displayed in smoking and antismoking advertisements.

This study compared adolescents unbiased perceptions of the images displayed in smoking and antismoking advertising. Twenty-nine adolescents (ages 11-17) were shown images taken from both advertising types; all images were digitally edited so that no ...

Remote viewing with the artist Ingo Swann: neuropsychological profile, electroencephalographic correlates, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and possible mechanisms.

In the present study, the artist Ingo Swann, who helped develop the process of remote viewing (awareness of distant objects or places without employing normal senses), was exposed during a single setting of 30 min. to specific patterns of circumcerebral ...

Is controllability of imagery related to canoe-slalom performance?

This study investigated the relationship of controllability of mental imagery with canoe-slalom performance. Controllability of mental imagery was assessed by an objective test of mental rotation, the Mental Rotations Test. This test was administered to ...

Effects of normal aging and Alzheimers disease on emotional memory.

Recall is typically better for emotional than for neutral stimuli. This enhancement is believed to rely on limbic regions. Memory is also better for neutral stimuli embedded in an emotional context. The neural substrate supporting this effect has not ...

Surface construal and the mental representation of scenes.

What distinguishes scenes from nonscenes? Photographs of objects on both naturalistic and blank backgrounds yielded boundary extension (BE: memory for unseen spatial expanse outside the pictures boundaries). However, line-drawn objects on blank ...

The emergent generation effect and hypermnesia: influences of semantic and nonsemantic generation tasks.

The generation effect is moderated by experimental design, affecting recall in within-subjects designs but typically not in between-subjects designs. However, N. W. Mulligan (2001) found that the generation effect emerged over repeated recall tests in a ...
