From Mental Imagery to Spatial Cognition and Language: Essays in Honour of Michel Denis

From Mental Imagery to Spatial Cognition and Language: Essays in Honour of Michel Denis

The nature of mental images and their relation to language has caused controversy amongst psychologists for years, and the so-called "imagery debate" is still unresolved.

Fresh light is now being shed on this topic using recent findings in neuroscience and the development of behavioural studies. Reviewing state-of-the-art research in the field of imagery, visuo-spatial memory, spatial representation and language, with special emphasis on their interactions, the volume shows how, and to what extent, findings from the studies on imagery can positively influence and enrich other psychological areas such as working memory, space and time representation and language and embodiment.
