12 undergraduates made judgments of resolution on 2 dots that they either imagined or actually observed at horizontal and vertical positions away from the point of eye fixation. As distance between these 2 dots increased, the size of fields of resolution in imagery increased, in proportion to increases in the size of fields of resolution in perception. For vivid imagers (measured by the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire), fields of resolution in imagery were the same size as those in perception, whereas for nonvivid imagers, fields of resolution in imagery were smaller than those in perception. Fields of resolution in imagery and perception were virtually identical in shape, exhibiting similar horizontal eccentricity and vertical asymmetry. Fields within which attention can be distributed in imagery were also measured by having 6 of the Ss make judgments of resolution on pairs of dot patterns imagined simultaneously on opposite sides of the point of eye fixation. These fields were smaller than fields of resolution for images of single dot patterns and were circular, as opposed to elliptical.(21 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
