Aphantasia (/ ˌeɪfænˈteɪʒə / AY-fan-TAY-zhə, / ˌæfænˈteɪʒə / AF-an-TAY-zhə) is the inability to visualize. [1] The phenomenon was first described by Francis Galton in 1880, [2] but has remained relatively unstudied. Interest in the phenomenon renewed after the publication of a study in 2015 conducted by a team led by Adam Zeman ...
Change blindness. Example of images that can be used in a change blindness task. Although similar, the two images have a number of differences. Change blindness is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when a change in a visual stimulus is introduced and the observer does not notice it. For example, observers often fail to notice major ...
Research has shown that people that are more creative in their imagery are better able to resolve ambiguous images. This may be due to their ability to quickly identify patterns in the image. [ 13 ] When making a mental representation of an ambiguous image, in the same way as normal images, each part is defined and then put onto the mental ...
Pareidolia (/ ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər -/; [1] also US: / ˌpɛəraɪ -/) [2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia. Common examples include perceived images of ...
Visual agnosia. Visual agnosia is an impairment in recognition of visually presented objects. It is not due to a deficit in vision (acuity, visual field, and scanning), language, memory, or intellect. [1] While cortical blindness results from lesions to primary visual cortex, visual agnosia is often due to damage to more anterior cortex such as ...
David Dunning Some researchers include a metacognitive component in their definition. In this view, the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e., they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence. This definition lends itself to a simple explanation of the effect: incompetence ...
The picture superiority effect refers to the phenomenon in which pictures and images are more likely to be remembered than are words. [2][3][4][5][6][7] This effect has been demonstrated in numerous experiments using different methods. It is based on the notion that "human memory is extremely sensitive to the symbolic modality of presentation ...
Eidetic memory (/ aɪ ˈ d ɛ t ɪ k / eye-DET-ik), also known as photographic memory and total recall, is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision—at least for a brief period of time—after seeing it only once [1] and without using a mnemonic device.
