“…The output of imagery reflected by the brain may then be processed and enriched to become a meaningful mental representation (Dennett, 2002;Kosslyn, 2005;Kosslyn et al, 2001;Rollins, 2001). Imagery can therefore be described as a unique form of mental representation (Kosslyn, 1976;Thomas, 2002) that influences percepts, imagination, emotions, behaviors, expressions, and fulfillment of desires.…”

This review investigates how the unconscious information processing can create satisfactory learning outcomes, and can be used to ameliorate the challenges of teaching students to regulate their learning processes. The search for the ideal model of human information processing as regards achievement of teaching and learning objectives is a recurring issue in educational studies. Although conscious processes are more conducive to the objectives than unconscious processes, they do not necessarily result in satisfactory learning of instructional messages. Studies reviewed here show that the unconscious can play a facilitatory role in the encoding, storage, retrieval processes of information and learning activities, even when the conscious fails to achieve this. To take advantages of both conscious and unconscious processes, relevant literature suggests educators utilizing visual teaching aids that optimize use of working memory capacity and allow students to form mental imageries, thereby facilitating the comprehension of instructional messages.Keywords: unconscious processes, conscious processes, information acquisition, mental imagery, visual information processing. Received ResumenEsta revisión investiga cómo el procesamiento de la información inconsciente, puede ayudar a crear resultados satisfactorios en el aprendizaje, y puede ser utilizado para mejorar los retos de enseñar a los alumnos para regular sus procesos de aprendizaje. La búsqueda del modelo ideal del procesamiento de la información humana, para delimitar los procesos y los objetivos de aprendizaje es un tema recurrente en los estudios educativos. A pesar de que los procesos conscientes son los más implicados para la consecución de los objetivos educativos y de la preocupación por estos procesos, ello no se ha traducido necesariamente en aprendizaje satisfactorio de las informaciones educativas. Los estudios revisados aquí muestran que el inconsciente puede jugar un papel facilitador en la codificación, el almacenamiento, procesos de recuperación de información y actividades de aprendizaje, aún cuando la conciencia no puede lograr este objetivo. Para aprovechar las ventajas delos procesos, tanto conscientes como inconscientes, la literatura sugiere que los educadores deben utilizan ayudas visuales de enseñanza que optimizan el uso de la capacidad de memoria de trabajo y permitir así a los estudiantes formar imaginarios mentales, lo que facilita la comprensión de los mensajes educativos.Palabras clave: procesos inconscientes, procesos conscientes, adquisición de información, imaginarios mentales, procesamiento visual de la información.

Synaesthesia is a fascinating cognitive phenomenon where one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another. For example, synaesthetes might perceive colours when listening to music, or tastes in the mouth when reading words. This book provides an insight into the idiosyncratic nature of synaesthesia by exploring its relationships with other dimensions of individual differences. Many characteristics of linguistic-colour synaesthetes are covered including personality, temperament, intelligence, creativity, emotionality, attention, memory, imagination, colour perception, body lateralization and gender. Aleksandra Maria Rogowska proposes that linguistic-colour synaesthesia can be considered as an abstract form of a continuous variable in the broader context of cross- and intra-modal associations. There has been a resurgence of interest in synaesthesia and this book will appeal to students and scientists of psychology, cognitive science and social science, and to those who are fascinated by unusual states of mind.
