An analysis of mental imagery in grades two, three, four and five

Thesis (Ed.M.)--Boston University / Imagery may be defined as a picture seen in one's mind. It is the ability to create pictures, to hear
sounds, to smell odors, to taste, and to feel in one's mind as one reads.
All these factors contribute to the varying degrees
of mental imagery possessed by different individuals.
It may be assumed that people visualize when they
read. A writer may give a description of a person or
a place, and the reader can recreate the scene in his
own mind. The reader's picture may be clear or it may
be vague. However, since every individual is different
the same sentence or paragraph may appear differently
to the subjects being tested. [TRUNCATED]
