Image and Mind
by Stephen Michael Kosslyn
hardcover in very good used condition
"Image and Mind is a landmark work in cognitive psychology and neuroscience that examines the nature of mental imagery and its underlying brain mechanisms. Through a series of clever experiments—such as mental image scanning, rotation, and detail retrieval—Kosslyn demonstrates that visual images are not mere byproducts of cognition but play an active, functional role in problem-solving and memory. He presents a two-tiered model: abstract representations are stored in memory, then assembled into "quasi-pictorial" images in the brain’s visual areas, much like constructing a picture on a screen. Building on this experimental foundation, Kosslyn dives into the enduring imagery debate, contrasting his "pictorialist" view—mental images as spatial, picture-like representations—with propositional views that treat them as language-like descriptions.
