The paper I've worked on for half of my adult life with Alfredo Spagna: alfredospagna.bsky.social is out now! We considered stereotyping processes as a function of visual mental imagery and explored some juicy areas for future integrative research 🤓 check it out & dm for full work! ⬇️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

@kerblooee Alfredo Spagna: alfredospagna.bsky.social Adam Zeman Thanks for sharing this interesting read! The multidimensional investigation of imagery definitely aligns with our focus of defining+measuring distinct aspects of VMI. My project similarly explores VMI and VWM interaction with psychophysiological metrics. Hope to share more soon!
