The phrase "auditory imagery" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the mental representation of sounds or the ability to imagine sounds in literature, music, or other contexts.
Example: "The poem's auditory imagery evokes the sound of waves crashing against the shore, creating a vivid sensory experience for the reader."
Alternatives: "sound imagery" or "auditory representation".
See id. at 309 (noting that lifestyle advertisements "rely for their effect and for their 'message' far more on visual or auditory imagery and emotional association than on language and explicit content").
Experiments were carried out in which participants evaluated the auditory imagery associated with onomatopoeic representations.
Moreover, such recognition of the source may affect the auditory imagery evoked by onomatopoeia.
The impressions of the auditory imagery evoked by the onomatopoeic stimuli were measured using the semantic differential (SD) method [19].
The auditory imagery of sounds evoked by "major" and "minor" onomatopoeic stimuli was measured using the semantic differential method.
The auditory imagery of onomatopoeic representations was compared with the auditory impressions for their corresponding actual sound stimuli, which were obtained in our previous study [7].
Pecenka, N. & Keller, P. E. Auditory pitch imagery and its relationship to musical synchronization.
In his Notebooks (1980, p. 160), Skinner briefly describes his own experiences of auditory, musical imagery, and in his influential Science and Human Behavior (Skinner, 1953), he discusses, in a speculative way, the causes of what he calls "conditioned seeing" and "operant seeing" (1953 ch.
This reproduces the pattern of neurophysiological activity observed experimentally in tasks where subjects have to generate words, including classic verb generation, sentence completion and auditory verbal imagery tasks (Raichle et al., 1994; Thompson-Schill, D'Esposito, Aguirre, & Farah, 1997; Wise et al., 1991) (e.g., see Fig. 1).
All participants combined internal visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic imagery without switching to external visual imagery, nor changing the imagery script to suit individual needs.
4. McGinn (2004 pp. 27-8) claims that it is impossible to experience both a visual and an auditory image simultaneously, because imagery depends on attention and we cannot give the right sort of focal attention to two different things at once.
