	Imagery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Imagery is any poetic reference to the five senses (sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste).
		Imagery is also the term used to refer to the creation (or re-creation) of any experience in the mind – visual, kinesthetic, or using any other sense.

	Mental Imagery
		Mental imagery (varieties of which are sometimes colloquially refered to as "visualizing," "seeing in the mind's eye," "hearing in the head," "imagining the feel of," etc.) is quasi-perceptual experience; it resembles perceptual experience, but occurs in the absence of the appropriate external stimuli.
		Very often, imagery experiences are understood by their subjects as echoes, copies, or reconstructions of actual perceptual experiences from their past; at other times they may seem to anticipate possible, often desired or feared, future experiences.
		Imagery did not become widely discussed again among scientific psychologists (or philosophers of psychology) until aroound the end of the 1960s, when Behaviorism began to be displaced by Cognitivism as the dominant psychological paradigm.
