Document Summary

Time space: the visual experiences of time units such as days of the week or months of the year as occupying spatial locations outside the body. Occur automatically so they can"t be inhibited by consciousness. Dual-coding theory: the theory that there are 2 ways of representing events, verbally and non verbally. Both different types of representations have their own codes. Which system is used depends on the nature of the information. When information arrives to the human, it arrives in either of the 2 forms. After being picked up by sensory systems, the kind of information it is is represented in whatever the corresponding system is. Logogens: units that make up the verbal system. Contain information underlying our use of a particular word. Operate sequentially; information comes up one after the other: eg: when you think of a sentence, the words come to mind in a particular order. Imagens: units that make up the non-verbal system.
