Imagery

Explore the gradient experience of event representation, from concrete perception to fully abstract automatic associations. Learn about analog versus propositional imagery and how moving towards abstraction aids generalization. Discover how iconic and symbolic representations differ, and the benefits of reducing detail for instant knowledge.

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
