    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Science
    • Neuroscience
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Visualization and visual imagery are fundamental to human consciousness.
    • These concepts play a crucial role in information processing and cognitive functions.
    • Diverse terminology often obscures a unified understanding of these visual mental processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and establish common underlying elements in the usage of 'visualization' and 'visual imagery'.
    • To clarify the relationship between these two frequently used terms in cognitive research.
    • To provide a foundational understanding for future studies on visual cognition.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of existing literature on visualization and visual imagery.
    • Comparative examination of definitions and applications of the terms.

  • Synthesis of common themes and principles across different research contexts.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified shared cognitive mechanisms underlying both visualization and visual imagery.
    • Established a clearer conceptual framework differentiating and connecting the terms.
    • Highlighted the importance of consistent terminology in the field of visual cognition.

    Conclusions:

    • Visualization and visual imagery, despite varied usage, share core cognitive underpinnings.
    • A unified understanding of these terms is essential for advancing research in consciousness and information processing.
    • Further research can build upon this foundational analysis to explore nuanced aspects of visual mental representations.
