Generating visual mental images: deficit after brain damage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the first non-retrospective neuropsychological group study using a componential task analysis for the study of imagery. Seventy unilaterally brain damaged patients were tested on a series of tasks with the intent of isolating genuine deficits of the image generation process. The main finding is that the image generation seems to be more frequently disturbed after a left posterior damage. Suggestions are provided for further investigations.

A computational analysis of mental image generation: evidence from functional dissociations in split-brain patients.
Recent efforts to build computer simulation models of mental imagery have suggested that imagery is not a unitary phenomenon. Rather, such efforts have led to a modular analysis of the image-generation process, with separate modules that can activate visual memories, inspect parts of imaged patterns, and arrange separate parts into a composite image. This idea was supported by the finding of fu...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Relationship between Visual Stimulus Quality and Idea Generating in Enhancing Creativity
"Design Idea" is very important in architectural education and a lot of research has been done in this field. In the ateliers, students are advised to look at and review a few examples of design-related issues before starting architectural design. The case of student sketching is a visual stimulus. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between the quality of visual st...
متن کاملComparison of Effectiveness of Presenting Images in Visual Education of Students on Brain Function
Background & Aim: Instead of being based on reality, theoretical approaches related to the occurrence of learning are more based on the observations by researchers. One of the approaches is the study of the effect of changes in virtual education based on the physiological approach. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of presentation of images in visual education on the brain function ...
متن کاملThe relationship between visual perception and visual mental imagery: a reappraisal of the neuropsychological evidence.
Visual perception and visual mental imagery, the faculty whereby we can revisualise a visual item from memory, have often been regarded as cognitive functions subserved by common mechanisms. Thus, the leading cognitive model of visual mental imagery holds that visual perception and visual imagery share a number of mental operations, and rely upon common neural structures, including early visual...
متن کاملRepresentation and disconnection in imaginal neglect.
Patients with neglect failure to detect, orient, or respond to stimuli from a spatially confined region, usually on their left side. Often, the presence of perceptual input increases left omissions, while sensory deprivation decreases them, possibly by removing attention-catching right-sided stimuli (Bartolomeo, 2007). However, such an influence of visual deprivation on representational neglect...
