Movement And Mental Imagery - Margaret Floy Washburn - Bog

Movement And Mental Imagery: Outlines Of A Motor Theory Of The Complexer Mental Processes is a book written by Margaret Floy Washburn and published in 1916. The book explores the relationship between movement and mental imagery, and proposes a theory that suggests that complex mental processes are rooted in the motor system. Washburn argues that the motor system is not only responsible for physical movement, but also for mental processes such as perception, memory, and imagination. She suggests that mental imagery is based on the same neural processes that underlie physical movement, and that the two are interconnected. The book includes detailed discussions of topics such as the nature of mental imagery, the role of the motor system in perception and cognition, and the relationship between mental and physical processes. It also includes case studies and experiments that support Washburn's theory, as well as critiques and responses to other theories of cognition and perception. Overall, Movement And Mental Imagery is a pioneering work in the field of cognitive psychology, and remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature of mental processes and the relationship between mind and body.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
