Chapter 7, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

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.

Conclusion

Studies suggest that a larger mental image requires more time to picture it.
