Abstract
This is a proposal for a research study to investigate how widely people vary on their inner experiences and how they are using them. We will evaluate people’s capability to have mental imagery (via the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire; Marks, 1973) and inner speech (from subscales from the Plymouth Sensory Imagery Questionnaire; Andrade et al., 2014). We expect a positive correlation. Additionally, we intend to assess how people use mental imagery and inner speech by having them read a self-developed concrete ‘children’s’ story and ask how well they could visualize or hear the dialogue. This investigation has a non-directional hypothesis. We intend to conduct group analyses based on trait levels of mental imagery and inner speech to see how they differ on their usage in this applied situation. The understanding of these inner experiences can contribute to basic knowledge of the connection between multiple modalities and individual differences.
