Document Summary
More brain activation when seeing concrete words rather than abstract words (bilateral parietal lobe activation) Mental rotation of images: we can equally manipulate 3d and 2d images. Better working memory capacity (including visuospatial sketchpad)=better performance on mental rotation task. Our reaction time is a function of the degree of rotation. The more you have to rotate the image to get it back to where it should be, the longer your reaction time. Mental rotation activates the premotor cortex and the superior parietal lobe. Mental rotation of exemplars and prototypes: a prototype is still a prototype even if it"s rotated. Implicit encoding: remembering things when you may not have meant to. Perceptual equivalence: similar to priming . like asking you to form a mental image of. Singer, and then you see an actual image of the word singer but it"s blurry . it will be easier to identify the word than if you had not been primed.
