{"pk":27324,"title":"Is ambiguity detection in haptic imagery possible? Evidence for Enactive imaginings","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A classic discussion about visual imagery is whether it affords\nreinterpretation, like discovering two interpretations in the\nduck/rabbit illustration. Recent findings converge on\nreinterpretation being possible in visual imagery, suggesting\nfunctional equivalence with pictorial representations.\nHowever, it is unclear whether such reinterpretations are\nnecessarily a visual-pictorial achievement. To assess this, 68\nparticipants were briefly presented 2-d ambiguous figures.\nOne figure was presented visually, the other via manual touch\nalone. Afterwards participants mentally rotated the\nmemorized figures as to discover a novel interpretation. A\nportion (20.6%) of the participants detected a novel\ninterpretation in visual imagery, replicating previous research.\nStrikingly, 23.6% of participants were able to reinterpret\nfigures they had only felt. That reinterpretation truly involved\nhaptic processes was further supported, as some participants\nperformed co-thought gestures on an imagined figure during\nretrieval. These results are promising for further development\nof an Enactivist approach to imagination.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"visual imagery; haptic imagery; gesture;\nenactivism; the imagery debate"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1hv6d10c","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Wim","middle_name":"","last_name":"Pouw","name_suffix":"","institution":"Erasmus University Rotterdam","department":""},{"first_name":"Asimina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Aslanidou","name_suffix":"","institution":"Erasmus University Rotterdam","department":""},{"first_name":"Kevin","middle_name":"L.","last_name":"Kamermans","name_suffix":"","institution":"Erasmus University Rotterdam","department":""},{"first_name":"Fred","middle_name":"","last_name":"Paas","name_suffix":"","institution":"Erasmus University Rotterdam","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27324/galley/16960/download/"}]}
