Kosslyn's transcranial magnetic stimulation experiment on brain activation that occurs in response to imagery found that the brain activity in the visual cortex
A) is an epiphenomenon.
B) can be inferred using mental chronometry.
C) supports the idea that the mechanism responsible for imagery involves propositional representations.
D) plays a causal role in both perception and imagery.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kosslyn's experiment found that brain activity in the visual cortex plays a causal role in both perception and imagery, indicating that it is not just an epiphenomenon. Mental chronometry was not directly related to this particular experiment, and while Kosslyn's theory does suggest that imagery involves propositional representations, this is not the specific finding of the experiment.
