Cochrane, Brett A.; Siddhpuria, Shailee; Milliken, Bruce – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
The relation between mental imagery and visual perception is a long debated topic in experimental psychology. In a recent study, Wantz, Borst, Mast, and Lobmaier (2015) demonstrated that color imagery could benefit color perception in a task that involved generating imagery in response to a cue prior to a forced-choice color discrimination task.…

Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Anderson, Rachel J.; Grace, Lydia; Howe, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Three experiments investigated the relationship between future thinking and false memories. In Experiment 1, participants remembered familiar events (e.g., a holiday) from their past, imagined planning the same events in the future, or took part in a control condition in which they visualized typical events. They then rated a series of…

Walker, Peter; Parameswaran, Caroline Regina – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
In sound symbolism, a word's sound induces expectations about the nature of a salient aspect of the word's referent. P. Walker (2016a) proposed that cross-sensory correspondences can be the source of these expectations, and the present study assessed three implications flowing from this proposal. First, sound symbolism will embrace a wide range of…

Liesefeld, Heinrich René; Fu, Xiaolan; Zimmer, Hubert D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
A major debate in the mental-rotation literature concerns the question of whether objects are represented holistically during rotation. Effects of object complexity on rotational speed are considered strong evidence against such holistic representations. In Experiment 1, such an effect of object complexity was markedly present. A closer look on…

Janczyk, Markus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
In many situations people need to mentally adopt the (spatial) perspective of other persons, an ability that is referred to as "Level 2 perspective taking." Its underlying processes have been ascribed to mental self-rotation that can be dissociated from mental object-rotation. Recent findings suggest that perspective taking/self-rotation…

Liesefeld, Heinrich R.; Zimmer, Hubert D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
For mental rotation, introspection, theories, and interpretations of experimental results imply a certain type of mental representation, namely, visual mental images. Characteristics of the rotated representation can be examined by measuring the influence of stimulus characteristics on rotational speed. If the amount of a given type of information…
