Question

In drawing conclusions about the relationship between imagery and perception, a notable difference between them is that:

a. perception and imagery processes do not share the same brain mechanisms.
b. it is harder to manipulate mental images than perceptual images.
c. imagery is more stable than perception.
d. imagery occurs more automatically than perception.

Answer 1

Answer is Option B: it is harder to manipulate mental images than perceptual images.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mental imagery means pictures in the mind or what one is visualizing. Mental imagery is caused by mental images in the mind of a person. But it is different from perceptual images (images from perception) because mental images occur when there is no external stimuli.

Images from perception are a result of some external stimuli. So, Option B is the most apt answer from the given options. Both do not share same brain mechanisms as per option A. Nor Imagery is more stable than perception as per option C. Imagery doesn't occur automatically as per option D.
