Document Summary

Francis galton proposed introspection as a means to study mental imagery. Can be captured by chronometric studies (asking people to manipulate the mental images, and find out how long it takes them to manipulate them). Kosslyn asked questions to participants about their mental images with yes/no responses. Suggests that the information that you have in your head (visual manner) is different than the information you have when you are actually thinking about it. scanning procedure: asked to image the map. Scan from one landmark to another (imagine the hut, then scan from the hut to the tree, etc) imagined distance corresponds to actual distance.

The longer it takes participants to answer, the greater the more mental shifts (or rotations) it would require.
