associated with paivio's dual coding theory that states that concrete nouns creat images that other words can hang onto, and that this enhances memory for these words

corresponds to spatial representation
|
Depictive representation
|
|
a theory proposed by paivio that memory is served by two systems, one that is specialized for verbal stimuli, and the other that is specialized for objects and events that are represented non-verbally
|
Dual-coding theory

|
A phenomenon that accompanies a mechanism, but is not actually part of the mechanism.

Image scanning

|
the debate about whether thought was possible in the absence of images
|
Imageless-thought debate

the debate about whether imagery is based on spatial mechanisms such as those involved in perception, or on propositional mechanisms that are related to language

Mental rotation

a process in which patterns are created by manipulating mental images

Mental synthesis

Mental-walk task

|
a method for remmebering things in which things to be remembered are placed at different locations in a mental image of a spatial layout

Method of loci

|
learning that occurs when a participant is presented with pairs of words during a study period and then is tested when one of the words is presented and the task is to recall the other word

a method for remembering things in which the things to be remembered are associated with concrete words

relationships are represented by symbols, as when the words of language represent objects and the relationships between objects

Propositional representation
|
|
a representation in which different parts of an image can be described as corresponding to specific locations in space

spatial representation

proposed to account for the results of some imagery experiments that states that participants unconsciously use knowledge about the world in making their judgments.

tacit-knowledge explanation

|
a condition that is usually associated with damage to the right parietal lobe, in which the person ignores stimuli presented in the left half of the visual field.

unilateral neglect

|
part of the visuospatial sketch pad in the updated version of the working memory model, which is resopnsible for our conscious experience of images
|
visual buffer

a type of mental imagery involving vision , in which an image is experienced in the absence of a visual stimulus
|
visual imagery
