...Psych/640 March 2015 Volume 1, Issue 1 Visual Imagery What is Visual Imagery Two important cognitive systems a person has are a person’s visual and verbal systems which are two very basic ways that individuals are able to express themselves to others. These two systems allow individuals to both create word and visual images in order to communicate thoughts with other individuals. In the verbal system a person is able to create words, portray thoughts, sequence words together in order to communicate with other people. In the visual system the system is more sensory based, relying on holistic, emotional, personal, and fantasy-based information or images. This system though being called visual is not just about seeing it’s also about sounds and touch. This paper is going to compare and contrast verbal and visual imagery, provide an argument of which is considered more important by the author, and provide justification of the argument with research . Inside this issue Visual Imagery ............................ 1 Visual and Verbal Systems .......... 1 Argument of Importance ............ 2 Closing Thoughts......................... 2 Visual and Verbal Systems For cognitive functioning to work in most individuals they must use imagery as well as verbal systems together. According to Mzoughi and Abdelhak (2011), most people uses both verbal and visual together though some people may be better at one or the other. Some individuals may be better visually and be considered...

...Shelley Davis Visual Communications Monday, June 18, 2012 In order to promote goods using visual communications it is important to choose the right methods of communicating your message to your audience. I personally feel that the approaches that are most effective in making these communications a possibility are colors and shapes, cartoons and illustrations, and typography. Visual communication approaches like these make marketing and advertising easier and more competitive. Research has shown that people make judgments subconsciously about all sorts of things. Among these things are people, the environment, or product within ninety seconds of initial viewing and that between sixty two and ninety percent of that assessment is based on color and shapes. Catching the shopper’s eye and conveying information effectively are critical to successful sales. It has also been proven that color increases brand recognition by up to eighty percent. Shapes and colors improve reading and comprehension as well. There are many reasons why businesses use cartoons and illustrations in their marketing and advertising. When using cartoons and illustrations in marketing and advertising the characters and backgrounds are usually simple and use large shapes and contrasting colors so that the reader will capture the story right away without a lot of trouble. The advantage of these simplicities is that your message is identified by the reader very quickly and with little or, sometimes, no effort...

...[pic] VISUAL LEARNERS 65% of learners belong to this group. Visual learners prefer written information, diagrams and pictures. They prefer to take down notes during a presentation, They will even make their own notes even when they are given printed hand-outs. They are better at written communication. These learners have the ability to think in pictures as well as see and create images complete with shapes colours and size. They tend to remember faces but not names. A LOOK AT VISUAL LEARNER A typical visual learner uses visualization techniques to remember things. They often have a good sense of direction because they visualize maps and directions in their mind. Many prefer to read information in a textbook or on the whiteboard rather than listen to the teacher lecture. They also enjoy doodling and drawing. Visual learners typically use sight words in their everyday terminology. For example, they might say "Let's take a look at this." or "Let's look at this from a different perspective." They remember details including colours and spatial arrangements. VISUAL LEARNER CHARACTERISTICS Visual learners are those who learn through seeing things. Look over the characteristics below to see if they sound familiar. A visual learner: • Is good at spelling but forgets names. • Needs quiet study time. • Has to think awhile before understanding lecture. • Is good at spelling. • Likes colours & fashion. • Dreams in colour. • Understands/likes charts. • Is good with...

...Visual Impairment Introduction Vision challenge or impairment is when a person’s degree of seeing is very low and the affected person requires assistance in order to carry out daily routine. Significantly, for one to qualify as visually impaired there must be prove that a person cannot undertake duties by himself without necessary assistance. For a person to qualify as a visually challenged, there must be a prove that the affected eyes cannot be conventionally treated. Visual challenge cannot be corrected by surgery, refractive measures neither by medication and that is why it is termed as visual impairment. The most rampart causes of visual challenge are trauma, degenerative or congenital means and a variety of diseases. In the society, blindness is the term that is preferably used to describe a visually impaired per son. Low eyesight is generally revealed when the affected person cannot view a normal distance and walk by himself (Algozzine, 2006). The degree of impairment can also be revealed when a person cannot read some normal writings. This is to say that even with the assistance of contact magnifying glasses or even eyeglasses the victim cannot reveal the writings on a normal newspaper (Bailey & Hall, 1990). Hyperopic impairment is accrued with inability person to see objects in a close distance. Myopic impairment is quite the opposite of hyperopic whereby a victim cannot identify objects at close distance. All these vision challenges greatly obscure the affected person...

...VISUAL COMMUNICATION IN POLITICS Visual communication has been a main component of political communication. And, it importance has increased as television has become the major source of political information. It also known as idea that a visual message with text has a stronger power in persuades a person. Did you ever wonder why World War II propaganda posters so effective at manipulating popular opinion? This is because our human eye is always attracted to colored elements before black and white elements, and tends to visual before the text. Overall, research has shown that visual images are always more persuasive than spoken communication because it communicate in a way more easy to understand, more quickly and memorably. According to Dan (2015), experimental research in political communication has found that a single photograph of a candidate can influence voters’ judgments regarding that candidate’s demeanour, competence, leadership ability, attractiveness, likeableness, and integrity. Normally, politicians need media to get the exposure in order to win elections. Thus, some candidate with enough money will spend it on TV and print advertisements. And, it's not surprise to see that candidate’s family photos ‘accidentally’ spread around during the campaign. This may build a “kind” image by appearing with children and family members together. Moreover, the politicians also can use social networking software to get closer with their supporters and post news as...

...structural changes in the axon terminals for example. Through reading and learning all of this process, it looks like the brain makes the changes its self to the loss of vision as in this area to make up for the changes needed to function and make up for the loss. The ability to see is one of our greatest gifts. Most of us never have a problem with our sight, other than having to wear glasses. We can see minute objects, experience color, and take in vast panoramas without a thought that something could go wrong. Unfortunately, a number of medical conditions can affect your vision. The loss of one’s sight is the ability of people who are cortically blind due to lesions in their striate cortex, also known as primary visual cortex or V1, to respond to visual stimuli that they do not consciously see Challenges the common belief that perceptions must enter consciousness to affect our behavior; it shows that our behavior can be guided by sensory information of which we have no conscious awareness. These changes to a person change their entire world; they have to relearn everything they have ever done from a whole other sense. Losing one’s sight would enable a person in a lot of ways and have to learn to depend on others around them to help them. By this a person would have to learn to use their other sense like smell and...

...1. Short Description a) Definition, origin Visual perception[1] is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by processing information that is contained in visible light. The resulting perception is also known as eyesight or vision. However, what people see is not simply a translation of retinal stimuli (i.e., the image on the retina) [2]. Aesthetic experience of visual perception can therefore be conceptualised in three levels: sensory perception (environmental stimuli), cognition, meanings and values that the viewer may associate with this typology. (Gjerde M. 2010.) The Analysis of visual perception is a method to clarify visual information in physical environment, thus parsing human’s interpreting process into legible components...

...Running head: Hearing and Visual Hearing and Visual Impairment Bonnie J. Hatch Grand Canyon University SPE 526 May 19, 2010 Abstract The abstract of this essay will include information on hearing and visual impairments. It will explain the legal definition of both, the impact that hearing and visual impairment have on a person’s development and education achievement, how humans hear and see and the degrees, types and causes of each. The essay will also go into detailed by supplying a lesson plan which will include the objectives/goals, accommodations/modifications, strategies, assessments, activities as well as including brief description of the student by submitting the student’s age, grade, disability strength, and weaknesses. Hearing and Visual Impairments Hearing is a complex process of changing sound waves into the neural signals which can be translated by the brain into sounds. Within the inner ear is the Cochlea, which changes sound waves into neutral signals. The signals are sent to the brain through the auditory nerve. Where the visual impairment is also a complex process, light enters the eye through the pupil and is collected by photoreceptor neurons in the retina. Signals are then sent to a neuron network that then generates electrical impulses which goes to the brain. The legal definition of a hearing impairment is “a full or partial decrease in the ability to detect or understand sounds. It can range from a mild hearing loss to total deafness”...

...The History of Visual Basic dates back to 1991 when VB 1.0 was introduced. The core of Visual Basic was constructed on the older BASIC language, which was the prevalent programming language throughout the 1980s. It's a computer programming system established and owned by Microsoft. Visual Basic was originally produced to make it easier to write programs for the Windows computer operating system. The basis of Visual Basic is an earlier programming language called BASIC that was invented by Dartmouth College professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz. Visual Basic is often denoted by using just its initials; VB. Visual Basic is easily the most extensively used computer programming system in the history of software. Microsoft Visual Basic is the most common language and development environment for developers coding to the Windows operating system platform. From modest beginnings it has grown to be part of personal computing itself, and with the latest incarnation, Visual Basic .NET in Beta it looks as if it may be in use for another decade or longer. Visual Basic 1.0 for Windows was released in May 1991 at a trade show in Atlanta, Georgia. Visual Basic 2.0 was released in November 1992. The programming environment was easier to use, and its speed was improved. Visual Basic 3.0 was released in 1993 and came in Standard and Professional versions. Visual Basic 4.0 was released in August 1995. It was the first version that could produce 32-bit as well as 16-bit Windows programs. It...

...A visual analysis is the basic unit of art historical writing. The purpose of a visual analysis is to recognize and understand the visual choices that an artist or photographer has made in creating the artwork. Key questions that you may ask yourself while writing a visual analysis are; what is the focal point, and what elements of design does the artist use to create the focal point. My analysis of this image reveals many key points or different ways you can comprehend the image. It all depends on your focal points and how literal you look at something. People who view this image can simply look past its meaning and just view it as a girl standing on a stage. You have to be focused on its focal point and look past the girl and read the message the photographer is making. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For instance, in this picture a little girl is in an auditorium by herself with a spotlight on her. The child is smiling, which expresses that she is happy and she is amazed of what she is seeing. I view this image as the child thinking about her future of how she plans to perform on the stage. This...

The design of visual communication is composed of the modeling of visual language and graphic design with the motive of relaying information, ideas and messages in the field of industrial design. In order to create effective visual communication design, the designer should develop design skills to manipulate and organize elements, design principles, production method, selected media and materials(Brown, 2007). Successful design of efficient requires the designer to have the ideas of the kind of learning style of the recipient. The main aim of the designer is effectively to convey a message that is clear accessible and easy to understand to the end user. Various learning styles have enormous implications for the visual communication (Bergström, 2008). These learning styles enlighten the designer on matters pertaining to the...
