1) Suppose you ask a friend to imagine a gopher, but they say they can't imagine the details clearly. What instructions could you give them to prompt them to see more details in their mental image of the gopher?

2) Imagery and perception can interact with each other. Describe how:

a) Imagery could affect perception

b) Perception could affect imagery

Note: while you can use examples from lecture, feel free to adapt them from the context of an experiment into a new situation if you'd like.

3) Suppose when you asked your friend to imagine a gopher earlier, they imagined it at a distance of 5 meters away. This visualization would have caused some space on their cortex to activate.

a) If your friend saw a real gopher, also from 5 meters away, how might the amount of activated area of cortex compare (in other words, would a smaller, a larger, or a similar area/amount of cortex be activated)?

b) If your friend decided to run up to the gopher, pick it up, and perceive it at a distance of .5 meters, causing the image to fill a larger area of their visual field, how would this affect the area of cortex being activated?

4) Describe how one might use the method of loci to remember the following items on a to-do list: drop off a library book, pick up groceries, and study for a cognitive psychology exam.
