For this chapter, I want you to think about how you use (or don’t use) mental Imagery in your every day life.
Task: The book has a section on “Individual difference in mental imagery” (if you have the 9th edition, you may need to contact a friend who has the 10th to read this short section). It describes different cognitive styles when it comes to the way may execute a mental images. However, it also cautions you to not treat these as distinct categories, everybody can probably do a mixture of both styles.
- For paragraph 1 for this discussion, I want you to explain in your own words what are the Visualizers vs Verbalizers which are the two cognitive styles used in mental imagery. How does this relate to or support propositional codes and analog codes?
- For the second paragraph is for fun, what type of cognitive style do you typically rely on? Provide an example of where you used one style, the other, or both? Or think think of an example where you struggled forming mental images.
