New paper by Nadine Dijkstra in Cognition
Nadine Dijkstra’s paper “Mistaking imagination for reality: Congruent mental imagery leads to more liberal perceptual detection” has now been published in Cognition. In a series of 3 experiments, we investigated whether people might confuse imagery for perception. We found that imagining a stimulus makes you more likely to report seeing it - and that this effect was both independent of expectation, and stimulus-specific.
