The theory is concretized in a formal framework and implemented as a computational model. The theory and its model are evaluated against a set of empirical phenomena and compared to the contemporary theories of mental imagery. The new theory is shown to provide explanations for the considered phenomena that partly go beyond those of the contemporary theories.enBitte wählen Sie eine Lizenz aus: (Unsere Empfehlung: CC-BY)mental imagerymental representationcognitive modelcomputational modelmental scanningperceptual instantiationmental reinterpretationunilateral neglectpictorial theorykosslynpylyshynenactivismenactive theoryembodied cognitionembodimenteye movements80Dissertationurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00103696-17
