“…Hypotheses are still being put forward, as it were, giving rise to (potentially) conscious experiences, but they are not subject to testing against reality. This might either be because the instruments themselves (or some of them) are inhibited from carrying out their tests (Marks, 1973;Jacobson, 1932), and so fail to return any meaningful result, or it might be that results that are returned are disregarded, or not given full weight, by the schema. Either or both of these processes may well occur in particular cases.…”

Can theories of mental imagery, conscious mental contents, developed within cognitive science throw light on the obscure (but culturally very significant) concept of imagination? Three extant views of mental imagery are considered: quasi‐pictorial, description, and perceptual activity theories. The first two face serious theoretical and empirical difficulties. The third is (for historically contingent reasons) little known, theoretically underdeveloped, and empirically untried, but has real explanatory potential. It rejects the “traditional” symbolic computational view of mental contents, but is compatible with recent situated cognition and active vision approaches in robotics. This theory is developed and elucidated. Three related key aspects of imagination (non‐discursiveness, creativity, and seeing as) raise difficulties for the other theories. Perceptual activity theory presents imagery as non‐discursive and relates it closely to seeing as. It is thus well placed to be the basis for a general theory of imagination and its role in creative thought.

“…Se utilizó la versión española (Campos, González y Amor, 2002) del Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ; Marks, 1973). El VVIQ está formado por 16 ítems, en los que se solicita a los participantes que imaginen una serie de escenas y que consideren la imagen que se forma en su imaginación en cada una de dichas escenas.…”

“…En primer lugar, efectuamos un Alfa de Cronbach para averiguar la fiabilidad de la versión española del Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ; Marks, 1973). Para saber si la mnemotecnia de la palabra clave y la viveza de imagen influían en el aprendizaje del significado de las palabras del idioma gallego, se efectuó un ANOVA de 2 (estrategia de aprendizaje: repetición y palabra clave) x 2 (viveza de imagen: altos y bajos en viveza de imagen).…”

“…Marks (1973) realizó un trabajo consistente en tres experimentos en los que aplicaba el cuestionario VVIQ para clasificar a los participantes en altos o bajos en imagen. Los experimentos se hicieron con las siguientes poblaciones: estudiantes de psicología y estudiantes de entre 16 y 18 años.…”

La mnemotecnia de la palabra clave es una regla mnemotécnica que se utiliza, fundamentalmente, en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras. En este estudio se intentaba averiguar si la mnemotecnia de la palabra clave influía en el aprendizaje del significado de las palabras de la lengua gallega de baja frecuencia, y si la habilidad de imagen de los participantes influía en el aprendizaje. Para ello, se seleccionó un grupo de 111 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria que aprendieron una lista de 20 palabras del idioma gallego, de baja frecuencia, mediante el método de repetición o mediante el método de la palabra clave. Se encontró que la mnemotecnia de la palabra clave era más efectiva que el método de repetición en el aprendizaje y que los participantes con alta viveza de imagen recordaban un mayor número de traducciones de las palabras de la lengua gallega que los que tenían baja viveza de imagen. Son necesarias nuevas investigaciones sobre la mnemotecnia de la palabra clave aplicada a las lenguas minoritarias como la lengua gallega.

Subjects (N = 100) created mental images of 93 animals and reported either a male or a female association for each animal. Independent variables were sex of subject and subject's visualizing ability as measured by the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (Marks, 1973a). Of the 93 animals, 67 were gender associated, with 54 perceived as male and 13 as female. With a few exceptions, the gender associations did not differ according to subject's sex or visualizing ability, Compared to classic interpretations of animal content as symbolic representations of male and female figures (Phillips & Smith, 1953), the present data are consistent with regard to male‐associated animals, but inconsistent with female‐associated animals.
