Age Differences in Imagery Abilities.
Kosslyn, Stephen M.; And Others
Child Development, v61 n4 p995-1010 Aug 1990
Results of a study of four aspects of visual mental imagery (image generation, maintenance, scanning, and rotation) suggested that for 5, 8, and 14 year olds, and adults, 1 or more distinct processes were used for each aspect of imagery. There was no evidence that younger children have fewer processing components than older children. (RH)
