摘要: Empirical findings from studies on imagery of auditory features (pitch, timbre, loudness, duration, tempo, rhythm) and objects (musical contour melody, musical key harmony, notational audiation, speech text, environmental stimuli) are reviewed. Potential individual differences in (involving vividness, hallucination, development, ability, training) considered. It is concluded that (a) preserves many the structural temporal properties information present (or multisensory or crossmodal) stimuli, (b) can impact subsequent responding by influencing perception expectancies regarding (c) involves mechanisms similar to those used perception, (d) subserved same cortical structures as perception.
