Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alicia is experiencing an auditory image, which is a type of mental imagery that involves "hearing" sounds or voices in one's mind. The song "Just whistle while you work" is playing in her mind, even though there is no actual sound present in the environment. Therefore, option C is the best choice.

Option A, proposition, refers to a statement or assertion that expresses a judgment or opinion, and is not applicable in this scenario.

Option B, prototype, refers to a mental representation of a category or concept, and is not applicable in this scenario.

Option D, cognitive schema, refers to a mental framework or structure that helps organize and interpret information, and is not directly related to the experience of an auditory image.
