Visual Imagery I

Representation of Images - Behavioral Data

QuestionAnswer
Describe Anderson & Bower's propositional view. Single representation system in which we store both verbal and visual information as propositions.
What are propositions? Abstract, language-like in form
What would Anderson & Bower consider imagery to be? Epiphenomenal
Example of propositional view anchor is attached to front deck. Cabin is behind front deck.
What is analog code? Code that resembles the physical object; visual-spatial representation.
What is symbolic code? Code that is descriptive; propositional representation.
What is the debate about how visual-spatial information is represented? Analog code vs. Symbolic code
How can we resolve the visual-spatial debate? Functional equivalence studies
What are Functional Equivalence Studies? Mental rotation studies, Image scanning studies, Image scaling studies.
Describe Shepard & Metzler (1971) Mental Rotation Studies. Asked Ss if geometrical objects shown at different orientations were the same. Results showed that there is a direct linear relationship between reaction time & amount of rotation required.
Describe Kosslyn et al. (1978) Image Scanning Studies. Ss memorized the map, and then were asked to mental "travel" from one landmark to another on a blank map, then respond when arrived. Results showed that it takes longer to scan longer geographical distances.
Describe Kosslyn (1978) study about Image Scaling. If Ss picture a rabbit sitting next to an elephant, the mental image is going to be relatively small compared to having Ss form a mental image of a rabbit sitting next to a fly. There is functional equivalence between real object perception & mental ima
Kosslyn would argue that visual-spatial information is represented is what way? Analog Code
