Chapter 10 test

Perky's experiment, in which participants were asked to "project" visual images of common objects onto a screen, showed that

Imagery and perception can interact with one another

Suppose we ask people to perform the following cognitive tasks. Which is LEAST likely to strongly activate the visual cortex?

Imagine the meaning of the word "ethics."

In drawing conclusions about the relationship between imagery and perception, a notable difference between them is

It is harder to manipulate mental images then perceptual images

Imagery neurons respond to

an actual visual image as well as imagining that same image

Mental imagery involves

experiencing a sensory impression in the absence of sensory input

Ganis and coworkers used fMRI to measure brain activation for perception and imagery of objects. Their results showed that

perception and imagery activate the same areas of the frontal lobe, but perception activates more of the back of the brain than imagery does.

Your text describes the case of M.G.S. Who underwent brain surgery as a treatment for severe epilepsy. Testing of M.G.S. pre-and post-surgery revealed that the right visual cortex is involved with the

size of the field of view

With her imagery study, Finke and Pinker a four-dot display briefly to participants. After a two-second delay, participants then saw an arrow, and their task was to indicate whether the arrow would have pointed to any of the dots in the previous display. The significance of their results was they called into question the ________ explanation.

tactic-knowledge

Piggy is participating in a paired-associated learning experiment. During the study period, she is presented with pairs of words such as boat-hat and car-house. While taking the test, she would be presented with

Boat _______ - car _________

The "imagery database "is concerned whether imagery

Is based on spatial or language mechanisms

The "imagery debate" is concerned with whether imagery

Is based on spatial or language mechanisms

Shepard and Metzler Measure the time it took for participants to decide whether to objects for the same (two different views of the same object) or different (two different objects). These researchers offered cognitive process by using

Mental chronometry

Kosslyn concluded concluded that the image field is limited in size. This conclusion was drawn from the____experiment

Mental walk

In explaining the paradox that imagery and perception exhibit a double dissociation, Behrmann and coworkers suggested that perception necessarily involves __________ processing and imagery starts as a _______ process

bottom-up; top-down

Perky's imagery study (1910) had participants describe images of objects that were dimly projected onto a screen. The significance of Perky's results was that

people were influenced by the projected images when forming their mental images, even when they were unaware that the projected images were present.

The propositional approach may use any of the following ECEPT

a spatial layout

The scanning task used by Kosslyn involves

mental images

To explain the fact that some Nuro psychological studies show close parallels between perceptual deficits and deficits in imagery, well other studies do not find this parallel, it has been proposed that the mechanisms for imagery is located at the____ visual centers in the mechanism for perception is located at the____ visual centers

Higher ; Both lower and higher

unilateral neglect Typically occurs after damage to the____and result in the____

Parietal lobe, ignoring one side of visual perceptions and mental images

Suppose we asked people to form simultaneous images of two or more animals such as a rabbit alongside an elephant. Then, we ask them basic questions about the animals. For example, we might ask if the rabbit had whiskers. Given our knowledge of imagery research, we would expect the fastest response to this question when a rabbit is image along side

a bumblebee

Mental-scanning experiments found

a direct relationship between scanning time and distance on the image

Sometimes a behavioral event can occur at the same time as a cognitive process, even though the behavior isn't needed for the cognitive process. For example, many people look toward the ceiling when thinking about a complex problem, even though "thinking" would likely continue if they didn't look up. This describes a(n)

epiphenomenon

Paivio (1963) proposed the conceptual peg hypothesis. His work suggests which of the following would be most difficult to remember?

freedom

Kosslyn interpreted the results of his research on imagery (such as the island experiment) as supporting the idea that the mechanism responsible for imagery involves ____ representations.

spatial
