Imagery and Cognition

by Cesare Cornoldi

With the diversity of theoretical and empirical work on imagery cognition and performance, it is increasingly problematic to find a single source that provides contemporary overviews from each field. This book, which has its roots in the 2nd Workshop on Imagery and Cognition, held at the University of Padua, Italy, offers an up-to-date survey of imagery research and theory. The research converges on several main themes, such as the relations between imagery and perception, imaginal coding in working memory, the role of imagery in verbal memory and in memory for action events, and imagery and problem-solving.
