Document Summary
Lecture outline visual imagery long-term visual memory the diversity of knowledge. On a day to day basis, we do a lot of visual imagery. We don"t know that information right off the bat but we can picture the class. Another is: buying new clothes, we can hold the jeans/sweater in front of us and visualize how we look in them. Ask them to visualize an object and then ask them to report as much information as they could. What they reported was very different, very broad range of self reports - detailed images, cats, colours of the eyes, nails trimmed, etc. Others were very basic in terms of what they were picturing. The question is: self reports/introspections aren"t always the best articulate way of explaining what they"re looking at. These kinds differ because they add some objectivity to what people are picturing.
