VIVIDNESS OF MENTAL IMAGERY.
(From returns, furnished by 100 men, at least half of whom are distinguished in science or in other fields of intellectual work.)
Cases where the faculty is very high.
1. Brilliant, distinct, never blotchy.
2. Quite comparable to the real object. I feel as though I was dazzled, e.g. when recalling the sun to my mental vision.
3. In some instances quite as bright as an actual scene.
4. Brightness as in the actual scene.
5. Thinking of the breakfast-table this morning, all the objects in my mental picture are as bright as the actual scene.
6. The image once seen is perfectly clear and bright.
7. Brightness at first quite comparable to actual scene.
