Introduction:
Mental imagery refers to quasi-perceptual experience. It is somewhat like perceptual experience. The only difference is that it lacks appropriate external stimuli. It functions as a type of mental representation as it bears intentionality, which suggests that mental images are always directed towards something or other.
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer:
Researchers have found that it takes longer to view a mental image that is larger or covers more distance than a smaller or more compact one. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Option a. is given as “longer”.
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
Researchers have found that it takes longer to picture a mental image that is larger than a compact one. If people are asked to quickly answer the number of windows in the place where they live in, people with a smaller number of windows would describe more quickly than people living in a larger place. It suggests that people having a larger mental image take longer to picture it.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “less time”.
It does not take less time to picture a larger mental image. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “the same amount of time”.
The amount of time is not the same while picturing a smaller and a larger mental image. A larger mental image requires more time. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “half the time”.
A larger mental image does not require lesser time to view. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
Studies suggest that a larger mental image requires more time to picture it.
