| Abstract;Visual imagery plays an important role in design activity. In this paper, we dealt with "eidetic imagery (EI)," that is, a visual representation of a previously perceived object, and conducted a fundamental research to clarify functions of EI in the design activity. 114 undergraduates in industrial design course answered our questionnaire through which we intended to review usage of visual imagery in daily life. The 15 subjects from the questionnaire survey participated in the EI test. As a result, 4 were found to be eidetic (eidetikers). They had a particular tendency common to all of them: they are more absorbable in imagination and fantasy than non-eidetikers. The result also suggests that eidetikers have an advantage in behaviors such as retention of visual image and imaginal operations, which is an essential part of design activities. (author abst.) |
