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

-Freedom

What is likely to occur if a person sustains damage to the parietal lobe of the brain?

-Image processing will be reduced by half.

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 has whiskers. Given our knowledge of imagery research, we would expect the fastest response to this question when the rabbit is imagined alongside

-a bumblebee

Mental-scanning experiments found

-a direct relationship between scanning time and distance on the image

According to the concept of topographical mapping, which of the following stimuli encountered on a beach trip will activate the farthest forward in the visual cortex?

-a pink beachball on your towel

Suppose that, as a participant in an imagery study, you are asked to memorize the four outside walls of a three-story rectangular house. Later, you are asked to report how many windows are on the front of the house. You will probably be fastest to answer this question if you create an image as though you were standing

-at the far side of the front yard, away from the house

Peggy is participating in a paired-associate 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 conceptual peg hypothesis would predict enhanced memory for which word pair?

-cake mug

Ira and his sister are playing "Name that Tune," the object of which is to name the title of the song when given the song's first line. Ira suggests the line "Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?"

A spatial imagery test measures a person's capacity with imaging which of the following?

-layout

The scanning task used by Kosslyn involves

-mental images

Your text describes imagery performance of a patient with unilateral neglect. This patient was asked to imagine himself standing at one end of a familiar plaza and to report the objects he saw. His behavior shows

-neglect always occurred on the left side of the image, with "left side" being determined by the direction in which the patient imagined he was positioned.

Ganis and coworkers (2004) 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.

"3x+9=16" is a _________representation

-propositional

Which of the following representation types is associated with abstract concepts?

-propositional

As described in your text, the pegword technique relies on all of the following EXCEPT

-propositions

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

-size of the field of view

Complete the following analogy: Perception is to _______ as imagery is to__________.
