Question 17
Which of the following is considered to be too subjective to be chronometric study?
Kosslyn’s image-scanning experiments
Shepard’s mental-rotation experiments
Galton’s visual-imagery introspection experiments
Kosslyn’s image-zooming experiments
Question 18
Which of the following does NOT support the claim that mental images are stored in long-term memory by a propositional “recipe” for how to construct the image?
Images with more parts take more time to create.
Ambiguous images can be influenced by verbal labels.
People are able to control how detailed they want an image to be.
Words that are easier to picture are easier to remember.
Question 19
What can we conclude about visual imagery from the self-report data collected by Francis Galton in the late 19th century?
Some people are visualizers and some people are not.
It may be that people do not differ in the imagery itself but in how they talk about it.
Some people are visual learners and some are not.
Question 20
Kosslyn asked participants to move about mentally on a fictional island that they had studied on a map. He believed that participants would take ______ to travel for ______ distances.
the same amount of time; all
less time; longer
more time; longer
the results depended on the person being asked
Question 21
Which of the following is the most likely to be impaired in people (such as mentioned in the textbook, L.H.) who have a disrupted ability to make judgments about color?
they probably have damage to the what stream, so would also have problems with location, movement, etc.
they probably have damage to the where stream, so would also have problems with location, movement, etc.
they probably have damage to the where stream, so would also have problems with texture, detail, etc.
they probably have damage to the what stream, so would also have problems with texture, detail, etc.
Researchers compared brain activity in the parahippocampal place area (PPA) in two conditions: when participants were viewing places and when they were visualizing places.
What can we conclude from this neuroimaging?
Question 22 options:
Imagery and perception are identical neural processes.
The pattern of brain activity is roughly the same during perception and visualization.
In order for perception to occur, imagery must also occur.
Imagery processes use less of the brain than perceptual processes.

Question 23
Kosslyn asked participants to answer yes/no questions regarding cats after they were asked to think about them or imagine them. He found that
When using imagery, people confirmed that cats have heads faster than claws; with the reverse being true if they were asked to think about them.
People were faster at all questions when asked to imagine a cat.

People were faster at all questions when asked to think about a cat.
Question 24
How do we know that data obtained from image-scanning procedures and mental rotation tasks are not a consequence of the demand character of the experiment?
Demand character is not relevant to these types of experiments.
There is no way to rule this out.
Experimenters ask participants if they are scanning the image or just simulating it, and participants confirm they are scanning.
Data is consistent when experimenters do not mention that imagery may be relevant to the task.
Question 25
The mental-folding task is used to measure __________, and it normally __________ demonstrate gender differences.
spatial imagery vividness; does
spatial imagery vividness; does not
visual imagery vividness; does
visual imagery vividness; does not
Question 26
Stephen Kosslyn’s “mental travel” tasks involved comparing research subjects’ estimated times to complete a trip within a building with their actual travel times.
1) False
2) True
Question 27
Brain activity increases as the further an image needs to be rotates increases.
True
False
Question 28
A person is told to imagine an image of a plane and asked to begin each trial by focusing on the cockpit. In the first trial, he or she is asked a question about the engine. In the second trial, he or she is questioned about the tail. According to Kosslyn’s theory, it should take the person longer to answer the question about the engine of the plane as compared to the question about the tail.
True
False
