ARTERBERRY 2 1 Department of Psychology, One Alpha Drive, Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, PA 17022-2298, USA 2 Department of Psychology, Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA 17325, USA Received 24 March 1998; revised 12 April 2000; accepted 25 May 2000 Abstract —The literature on the interaction between visual imagery and visual perception provides con icting outcomes. Some studies show imagery interferes with perception whereas others show facilitation on perceptual tasks. The effects of visual imagery on a detection task were examined in six experiments. When either a bar image (Experiment 1) or an image of the letter ‘l’ (Experiment 3) overlapped with the targets, interference was discovered; however, images not overlapping the target did not effect detection (Experiments 2 and 4). Increasing the number of target locations caused the interfering effects of the image to disappear; however, there was no evidence of facilitation (Experiment 5). Physical stimuli interfered with detection whether there was overlap or not (Experiment 6). The results indicate that imagery induced interference may be lessened with more complex
