Current issues in the neuropsychology of image generation.
Image generation is the process by which long-term memory knowledge of the visual appearance of objects or scenes is used to create a short-term, percept-like image. In this article I will review recent neuropsychological evidence relevant to two questions about image generation: First, is there a distinct component of the cognitive architecture dedicated to image generation? Second, what brain regions are directly involved with image generation?
