Document Summary
You call to mind a map of your house and count the windows by inspecting this map. Many people even trace the map in the air by moving their finger around, following the imagined map s contours. Among the earliest imagery researcher was francis galton he asked various people to describe their images and to rate them for vividness. He asked subjects to introspect (or look within ) and to report the mental contents. Subjects reported that they could inspect their images much as they would inspect a picture. In their images, scenes were represented as if viewed from a certain position & a certain distance. Many described images of photographic clarity and rich in detail; other reported very sketchy images or no images at all they were able to think about the scenes or objects, but cannot see them. These self-reports shouldn t be taken at face value.
