Describe some of the characteristics of pictures versus words as external forms of knowledge representation. 2. What factors might lead a person’s mental model to be inaccurate with respect to how radio transmissions lead people to be able to hear music on a radio? 3. In what ways is mental imagery analogous (or functionally equivalent) to perception? 4. In what ways do propositional forms of knowledge representation influence performance on tasks involving mental imagery? 5. What are some strengths and weaknesses of ERP studies? 6. Some people report never experiencing mental imagery, yet they are able to solve mentalrotation problems. How might they solve such problems? 7. What are some practical applications of having two codes for knowledge representation? Give an example applied to your own experiences, such as applications to studying for examinations. 8. Based on the heuristics described in this chapter, what are some of the distortions that may be influencing your cognitive maps for places with which you are familiar (., a college campus or your hometown)?
