Studies on auditory imagery can give insight to involuntary intrusive images called earworms. One study used to examine control of auditory imagery experiences is the self report Bucknell Auditory Imagery Scale. [24] A relatable phenomenon in which the lay person has experienced an earworm is when a jingle gets stuck in a person's head.
Auditory imagery pertains to sounds, noises, music, or the sense of hearing. (This kind of imagery may come in the form of onomatopoeia). Olfactory imagery pertains to odors, aromas, scents, or the sense of smell. Gustatory imagery pertains to flavors or the sense of taste. Tactile imagery pertains to physical textures or the sense of touch.
Some of the phrases often used to describe earworms include "musical imagery repetition" and "involuntary musical imagery". [1] [12] [13] The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm. [14] [15] The earliest known English usage is in Desmond Bagley's 1978 novel Flyaway, where the author points out the German origin of his word. [16]
Auditory imagery is often but not necessarily influenced by subvocalization, [19] and has ties to the rehearsal process of working memory. [4] The conception of working memory relies on a relationship between the "inner ear" and the "inner voice" (subvocalization), and this memory system is posited to be at the basis of auditory imagery.
auditory (or linguistic) thoughts – sound, speech, dialog, white noise kinesthetic (or proprioceptive ) sense – somatic feelings in the body, temperature, pressure, and also emotion. The other two senses, gustatory (taste) and olfactory (smell), which are closely associated, often seem to be less significant in general mental processing ...
Dual-coding theory postulates that both sensory imagery and verbal information is used to represent information. [3] [4] Imagery and verbal information are processed differently and along distinct channels in the human mind, creating separate representations for information processed in each channel. The mental codes corresponding to these ...
In rhetoric, a rhetorical device, persuasive device, or stylistic device is a technique that an author or speaker uses to convey to the listener or reader a meaning with the goal of persuading them towards considering a topic from a perspective, using language designed to encourage or provoke an emotional display of a given perspective or action.
The authors proposed a new term, "anauralia", to describe the absence of auditory imagery, particularly the lack of an "inner voice". [32] A subsequent study, corroborated this finding, showing that the majority of a sample of people recruited on the basis of visual aphantasia also reported having reduced auditory imagery.
