Your textbook discusses research showing that people have better acuity for mental images that are visualized in the center of the retina, rather than in the periphery of the retina. The reason that this research is significant is that
 
  a. it offers strong support for the propositional approach to mental images.
  b. it demonstrates that the previous imagery research had been influenced by experimenter expectancy.
  c. the research is similar to the results obtained when people perceive actual visual stimuli.
  d. it demonstrates that individual differences in visual imagery are actually very small.

Question 2

After the discussion of the research on mental imagery, your textbook re-examines the analog viewpoint of imagery. According to this discussion,
 
  a. the analog viewpoint is no longer appropriate, because the majority of research supports the propositional viewpoint.
  b. the research allows us to conclude that mental imagery operates exactly the same way that perception operates.
  c. mental imagery is somewhat similar to perception, and these two processes activate similar structures in the cortex.
  d. both the analog viewpoint and the propositional viewpoint are inconsistent with the current research, so that a new model needs to be developed.

Question 3

Which of the following areas of research on imagery provides the most support for the propositional-code argument, rather than the analog-code argument?
 
  a. the research on imagery and ambiguous figures
  b. the research on imagery and interference
  c. the research on imagery and size
  d. the research on imagery and rotation
