Document Summary
Mental pictures and the mind"s eye (these are examples that commonly illustrate the everyday use of visual images as a basis for making decisions and an aid to remembering. They also differed in regards to their self reports. Some included the mention of color or size or viewing perspective and others were devoted of any visual qualities. Perhaps all of his participants had the same imagery skill but some were cautious in how they chose to describe their imagery while others went all out. It may reveal differences in how people talk about their imagery rather than differences in imagery per say. We need a more objective method of assesing these measures. To gain more objective data, these experiments ask people to do something with their images such as a judgement. In other words the data are generally time measuring and give us a more accurate portrait of imagery than could ever be obtained with self report.
