EXERCISES

1. Outline the chapter.

2. The rating of images belonging under different senses. Try to
call up the images prescribed below, and rate each image according
to the following scale:

_3. . . . The image is practically the same as a sensation, as bright,
full, incisive, and, in short, possessed of genuine
sensory quality_.

_2. . . . The image has a moderate degree of sensory quality_.

_1. . . . The image has only faint traces of sensory quality_.

_0. . . . No sensory image is called up, though there was a
recall of the fact mentioned_.

Call up visual images of: a friend's face, a sun flower, a white
house among trees, your own signature written in ink.

Call up auditory images of: the sound of your friend's voice, a
familiar song, an automobile horn, the mewing of a cat.

Call up olfactory images of: the odor of coffee, of new-mown hay, of
tar, of cheese.

Call up gustatory images of: sugar, salt, bitter, acid.

Call up cutaneous images of: the feel of velvet, a lump of ice, a
pencil held against the tip of your nose, a pin pricking your
finger.

Call up kinesthetic imagery of: lifting a heavy weight, reaching up
to a high shelf, opening your mouth wide, kicking a ball.

Call up organic imagery of: feeling hungry, feeling thirsty, feeling
nausea, feeling buoyant.

In case of which sense do you get the most lifelike imagery, and in
case of which sense the least. By finding the average rating given
to the images of each sense, you can arrange the senses in order,
from the one in which your imagery rates highest to the one in which
it rates lowest. It may be best to try more cases before reaching a
final decision on this matter.

3. Verbal imagery. When you think of a word, do you have a visual,
auditory, or kinesthetic image of it--or how does it come?

4. In reading, notice how much imagery of objects, persons, scenes,
sounds, etc., occurs spontaneously.

5. Analysis of a revery. Take any object as your starting point,
and let your mind wander from that wherever it will for a minute.
{387} Then review and record the series of thoughts, and try to
discover the linkages between them.

6. Free association experiment. Respond to each one of a list of
disconnected words by saying the first word suggested by it. Use
the
