Presentation Transcript

  1. Imagery Wrap up of Imagery • Perception-like experiences accompanying language comprehension or conscious imaginative thought • Measurable analog characteristics • Studies by Sheppard & Metzler, Kosslyn • Less than fully analog • Cube rotation (Plyshyn) • Imagery falls in continuum of ception (Talmy)

  2. Imagery • Ception (Talmy) • Gradient experience of event representation • High end - real, concrete representation perception • Mid-range - semi-abstract optical illusions abstract imagery • Low end - fully abstract automatic associations

  3. Imagery • Move towards abstraction is move towards generalization or schematization. • Reducing detail in favor of instant knowledge • Schematic understandings of objects • Basic shapes, patterns, configurations

  4. Imagery • Analog vs. propositional • Iconic vs. symbolic • Buzz, gulp, meow vs. Bee, drink, cat • Continuous vs. discrete • Analog vs. digital clock • Map or picture like vs. language like • Graphs, charts, diagrams vs. prose • Analog image can be manipulated like physical object it represents

  5. Imagery Representation/Ception Analog Propositional Conception Perception Concrete Semi-abstract Abstract Fully abstract Imagery
