Imagination and Perceptual Development: Effects of Auditory Imaging on the Brainstem Evoked Potentials of Children, Adult Musicians, and Other Adults

  • Chapter
Mental Imagery

Abstract

In the present research, we examined the effects of auditory imaging on the brainstem reponses of children, adult musicians, and other adults. Previously, researchers have looked for efferent effects of attention on the brainstem auditory evoked potentials of adults, but have neglected to look for efferent effects of auditory imaging.
