The extent of visual processing involved in visualizing objects was investigated by the use of selective visual interference. Subjects read concrete words and visualized them. This produced an approximately ten-fold increase in the slope of the latencies of wholistic visualization as a function of set size compared to that when subjects responded after listening to the descriptions of the objects. Males produced significantly steeper slopes than females in both listening and reading conditions, indicating that they find visualization more difficult. It is concluded that the interference on the visualization task was in the main disrupting active visual processing as no spatial manipulation of the objects was required.
通过使用选择性视觉干扰，研究了可视化物体时所涉及的视觉处理程度。受试者阅读具体的单词并对其进行可视化。与受试者在听完物体描述后做出反应相比，这使得整体可视化潜伏期的斜率作为集合大小的函数增加了约十倍。在听力和阅读条件下，男性产生的斜率明显比女性更陡，表明他们觉得可视化更困难。得出的结论是，对可视化任务的干扰主要是扰乱了积极的视觉处理，因为不需要对物体进行空间操作。
