PSYB57H3 Quiz: CHAPTER 10 REVIEW
Document Summary
The fact that speakers of languages with more color words perform better on color-recall tasks may be evidence for linguistic relativism. In this case, the label available in a language influences the ability to remember more since people may be able to remember two different labels and this enhances their ability to remember two different colors. Those with one label for two different colors may only remember one color not two. Color is part of perception and hence is likely to impact visual imagery, which is based on perception, and not spatial imagery, which is not. Actually, blind patients and those with visual agnosia can perform certain types of spatial imagery tasks. Unlike pictures, mental images are a) neutral depictions. b) organized depictions. c) often unambiguous. d) visual. They are not actual pictures they are representations of something real. The more similar the visual image and an actual stimulus, the higher the interference.
