•The Imagery-Language Connection for Cognition •Dual Coding Theory (Verbal Language plus Non-Verbal Images)
Mental imagery is sensory information that is available to us for language comprehension and thinking…imagery is the sensory mechanism that enables the creation of an imaged gestalt and stops language from going in one ear and out the other.”-Nancy Bell
Visualizing and Verbalizing
A university graduate described listening to a lecture as words slipping in and out of his mind: “It is like the language was written on a blackboard and someone was going behind and erasing it, and I only got a few parts of what was said.”
