Document Summary
Galton not all thought is image based. Images are epiphenomenal (no casual role: mental rotation is only accurate in highly practiced tasks, largest belief is that it is an analog system despite not having definitive evidence. If knowledge is analogical, then it should have the same properties as the real world size and distances: thinking should incorporate size, distance, colour, and weight, transformations are an example of mental rotation. Confidence interval where a point will fall 95% of the time. Size: kosslyn (1975) do mental images preserve size relations, judgments are faster when the image is larger, consistent with preserved size relations. Synesthesia and eidetic imagery: synesthesia: a condition in which a stimulus in one sense modality elicits an experience in another sense modality (man who tasted shapes) Inducer; the cue that elicits the synesthetic experience: concurrent: the synesthetic response, can be projectors or associators.
