Emotional Mental Imagery: Investigating Dysphoria-linked Bias
Mental representations can be consciously experienced in mental imagery format, and verbal-linguistic format. Mental imagery representations of emotional information can evoke more powerful emotional responses than verbal-linguistic representations of the same information. Biases in mental …

Self-report mental imagery and social desirable responding
The relationship between scores on self-report imagery questionnaires and sub-types of socially desirable responding was investigated across five papers. Paulhus (2002) has proposed a distinction between two forms of social desirable responding: the egoistic bias which is the tendency to claim …

Evidence of compression and probabilistic representation during mental imagery
… that compressive effects might be at play during imagery just like in vision. To observe how scenes of different complexities are represented during imagery, we utilized a generative AI model to reconstruct segmentation maps of subjects’ imagination from behavior data. We observed that as scenes …

Object and spatial subsystems in mental imagery : behavioral investigations
Recent evidence indicates that mental imagery comprises independent object and spatial subsystems. The experiments reported here are behavioral studies of these subsystems. Experiments 1 and 2 used the selective interference paradigm to determine whether these subsystems could be behaviorally …

An exploration into aphantasia: the inability to form voluntary mental imagery
… by a life-long inability to generate voluntary mental imagery, and so far, has been examined in the visual domain. In a series of 10 experiments, this thesis took an experimental approach to examine the possible explanations of congenital aphantasia and the nature of the experience in the visual …
