Document Summary

Cognition: mental activity such as thinking or representing information: analogical representation: a mental representation that has some of the physical characteristics of an object, it is analogous to the object. Ex: actual image of a violin, maps, etc: symbolic representation: an abstract mental representation that does not correspond to the physical features of an object or idea. Mental images are analogical representations: think of lemon- yellow, waxy skin. R study- r rotated, presented in different positions- participants asked if image was normal orientation or mirror image: participants developed mental images of the objects and rotated these images to view objects in their upright position. The farther object was rotated from the upright position, the longer the discrimination took: same brain areas activated when you visualize something as when you first saw that image (kosslyn et al) If something cannot be perceived wholly by our perceptual system, we cannot form a complete analogical representation of it.
