Document Summary
Dream report: was offered by someone who had been blind since birth. What was it in the dream that told her the room was large and long: this report does show that actual visual properties: colours or visible textures on surfaces are not mentioned. There you are in a store, trying on a new sweater. To decide, you"ll probably try to visualize the blue of the pants, using your mind"s eye to ask how they"ll look with the sweater. Francis galton: he asked people to introspect on their own mental contents: he simply asked participants to describe their images and rate them for vividness. The self-report data he found fit well with common sense: the participants reported that they could inspect their images much as they would inspect a picture. They also said that they were viewing their images from a certain position and a certain distance; in other words, they saw images from certain perspectives.
