Individual Differences in Reported Visual Imagery and Memory Performance.

McKelvie, Stuart J.; Demers, Elizabeth G.

British Journal of Psychology, v70 pt1 p51-57 Feb 1979

High- and low-visualizing males, identified by the self-report VVIQ, participated in a memory experiment involving abstract words, concrete words, and pictures. High-visualizers were superior on all items in short-term recall but superior only on pictures in long-term recall, supporting the VVIQ's validity. (Author/SJL)
