Aug 5, 2019 · The initial mental action to create a mental image ‘begins’ high in the cortical processing hierarchy, in the frontal cortex (step 1). This triggers a cascade of neural events, running ...

Mar 29, 2023 · Mental imagery and interpretation biases are closely interconnected and can serve to reinforce each other. To fully understand this interconnection, it is necessary to consider the nature of mental imagery and its basic properties, as well as the functional roles mental imagery is thought to play in daily life.
In other words, imagination is not simply the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment but rather a constructive process that builds on a repertoire of images, concepts, and autobiographical memories and leads to the creation (and continuous update) of a personal view of the world, which in turn provides the ...
Jul 1, 2022 · Furthermore, rather than being a by-product, mental images were said to play a causal role in problem solving and task performance (e.g., Kosslyn et al., 1999). Although it is clearly the case that forming images assists in a variety of tasks (see Antonietti, 1991 ), such as ‘how many windows are in your house?’, the critical issue concerns the processes that are occurring in the brain ...
In reality, however, Carston (2010) suggests that mental images can be activated and play a role even during the interpretation of a syntactically simple metaphor, which requires direct access, that is, a quick and online contextual modulation: “I see no reason for images not to play essentially the same role in the first processing mode, in which word meanings are adjusted to form ad hoc ...

May 23, 2013 · By contrast, perception (explicit mental image) occurs as a result of a form of energy impacting directly on the sensory surfaces of the organism, generally via a constructive process (see e.g., Thomas, 1999) 1 - Imagination: the act or power of forming mental images of what is not actually present or has never been actually directly experienced.

The experience of “mental pictures” viewed by the “mind’s eye” is familiar for almost all of us, but what are these “mental pictures”? This chapter reviews evidence documenting the resemblance between mental pictures and actual visual stimuli – in their information content, the processes needed to inspect them, and in the neural circuitry that supports these processes.
