- Title
Some Problems in the Definition and Measurement of Imagery.
- Authors
Mandler, Jean M.
- Abstract
This article reports on the problems related to imagery. The crux of the problem is an old but persistent confusion in interpretation of individual differences and stimulus differences. A stimulus difference experiment on imagery tests whether some stimuli evoke greater imagery than others. However, the effects of imagery on learning may radically differ in the two cases. There is no necessary relationship between these two treatments of the same construct, and in fact the results in the two cases may be orthogonal.
