Document Summary
Number forms: automatically generated images of number in various spatial externally to an individual. One study focuses on the role of the imagery in learning: each group learned a different stimulus-response pair. Since it is coded by two systems it means it is more readily available. Scott suggested that linking imagery strongly with the right hemisphere is one example among many of simplistic right brain/ left brain attributions of cognitive functions, which in reality are supported by rather more complex bilateral system, Mnemonic techniques: procedures used to aid memory: according to yates, imagery has been used as mnemonic techniques since ancient times, ad hermennium for example gave instructions for memorizing a great many items. E. g. imagine someone milking a cow in the living room and a loaf of bread tucked into the bed. At the store you would remember what to buy by imagining each place and recalling the images located there.
