Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mental representations are the mental images or cognitive structures that we use to understand and interact with the world. Two of the most powerful types of mental representations are images (visual or sensory mental representations) and concepts (abstract mental representations of categories or ideas). Therefore, option C, which includes both images and concepts, is the best choice. Option A (images and imitation) is not as strong because imitation refers to copying a behavior, rather than a mental representation. Option B (imitation and concepts) is also not as strong because imitation is not as fundamental to mental representations as images or concepts. Option D (habituation and imitation) is not accurate because habituation is not a mental representation, but rather a decrease in responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated exposure.
