Representation of the visual and spatial properties of our
environment is a pivotal requirement of everyday cognition. The
problem posed to science is how everyday visuo-spatial cognitive
operations are accomplished, and proffered accounts lie in two
essentially parallel research endeavours, working memory and
imagery. Although there is a strong case for working memory in the
area of phonological and articulatory functions, the claims for
visual and spatial working memory are less convincing. Most notable
has been the assumption that visual and spatial working memory is
intimately involved in the generation, retention and manipulations
of visual images. There has until recently been little hard
evidence to justify that assumption, and research on visual and
spatial working memory has focused on a relatively restricted range
of imagery tasks and phenomena. This essay follows a line of
reconciliation and positive critique in exploring the possible
overlap of mental imagery and working memory. Theoretical
development in the book draws on data from both cognitive
psychology and cognitive neuropsychology. The aims are to stimulate
debate, to address directly a number of assumptions that
