“…Researchers in mental rotation differences tend to rely heavily on theories of embodied cognition and suggest that this plays a role in differences (Voyer et al, 2020). Whilst standard definitions perceive cognition as a computational activity with the brain performing the operation alone, embodied cognition provides a more complex and inclusive view (Tedjosaputro & Shih, 2019). Embodied cognition views thinking as an active relationship between the body, the mind and the surrounding environment, where cognition is the body's interaction with the world (Tedjosaputro & Shih, 2019).…”

Mental imagery is the experience of perceiving an object within one's own mind and is a subjective experience, leading to difficulties in the research and understanding of the phenomenon. This paper documents the development and verification of a framework for researching the elements of mental imagery. The framework was developed following a review of both psychology and design literature which signified three fundamental conceptual viewpoints of mental imagery: imagery modalities, dimensions of imagery ability, and imagery processes. The aim of this framework is to allow for structured research on mental imagery in any given research field. This is verified through discussion for the product design engineering discipline and provides a base for future work on this topic. The conclusions made in this paper reveal that mental imagery, and particularly visual mental imagery, is largely considered to be integral in design overlooking the different realities of designers and confirming a greater need to understand mental imagery experiences in product design engineering.
