Question

visual memory in reasoning

Answer 1

This study is focused to highlight the possible correlations between visual representation of spatial concrete forms, inductive reasoning and visual memory recognition on male and female subjects differentially. Method: Participants were 56 undergraduate students at psychology, University of Bucharest, 27 males and 29 female, aged between 19 and 22 years old (M=20.62;S.D.= 0.92). The results highlights statistically significant negative correlation for the male undergraduate students between variables: 2D visual representation and inductive reasoning (r=-0.412;p<0.033), 2D visual representation and visual memory (r=0.431; p=0.025<0.05). Furthermore, the results shows there is not statistically significant correlation for the female undergraduate students between variables (p>0.05).

Answer 2

Visual memory boosts reasoning, it affects the process and accuracy of reasoning and also the content to reason about, reasoning is based on facts in our past experiences, this are usually stored visually in the memory, each time we reason out we borrow facts from this visual memory and have that as the basis of our reasoning.
