Imagery
Imagery involves making mental pictures of events or things to remember. It is defined as a cognitive process in which a mental picture is created of a sensory event. Imagery is part of the fourth family of cognitive strategies - general purpose or multipurpose strategies, because it may be used to process many kinds of material for many purposes. Imagery can also be combined with other strategies. Considerable research has been done in how imagery can aid in recall. Sport psychologists have recommended imagery as a way of improving skills. Imagery strategies enhance learning in young children. Therapists use imagery (and guided imagery) for healing in hospital settings. Imagery effects extend beyond recall to transfer. In this module we will present the strategy of imagery, discuss some of the research, and provide guidelines for effective uses of imagery in instructional design and learning.
