Suppose that you are reading a book that describes how the inside of the U.S. Supreme Court looks from a lawyer's point of view.
 
  Based on the discussion of neuroscience research and visual imagery, what would you predict about your visual system's reaction to this description?
   a. The cones in the retina would be stimulated more than the rods (assuming that the scene took place during the daytime).
   b. Your visual cortex would show increased blood flow.
   c. Your auditory cortex would show the largest increase in blood flow, because of the auditory code required during reading.
   d. Because no neurological correlates have yet been discovered, no measurable response would be located.

Question 2

The neuropsychology evidence on the imagery question shows that
 
  a. imagery and perception involve entirely different biological processes .
  b. during mental imagery, some portions of the visual-processing regions of the cortex seem to be activated.
  c. the primary similarity between imagery and perception is that the visual receptors in the retina are stimulated in both cases.
  d. the neuroscience research in this area has a major problem with demand characteristics, so we cannot draw clear-cut conclusions.
