4. Dr. Randazza shows participants a stylized map of a fictitious city. The map includes
landmarks, such as a post office, a library, a shopping mall, a bus depot, and an
airport. Some of the landmarks are close together, such as the library and the post
office. Others are far apart, such as the airport and the shopping mall. Dr. Randazza
removes the map. Participants are asked to imagine walking from one landmark to
another, either a nearby one or a more distant one. Participants press a key when they
have reached the destination in their minds. Based on mental imagery, what do you
think Dr. Randazza should find? What would such a result say about mental
imagery?
Participants should take the same amount of time to travel mentally
between distant as between close landmarks. This result would suggest
that mental imagery reflects the actual actions the participants perform
with respect to real objects.
Participants should take the same amount of time to travel mentally
between distant as between close landmarks. This result would suggest
that mental imagery does not reflect the actual actions the participants
perform with respect to real objects.

Participants should take longer to travel mentally between distant than
between close landmarks. This result would suggest that mental imagery
reflects the actual actions the participants perform with respect to real
objects.

task involves the same network of brain cells as the network used in
mentally rehearsing it.

those active when Clint actually swings the golf club.
