Is thinking always imagistic? If ‘imagistic’ means ‘based on mental images’, the answer is presumably yes, because one cannot think without mental images. This is the view taken by Johnson [15] who claims that ,image schemata… play a central role in all meaning and understanding as well as in all reasoning - (p. ix). Presmeg [23] concludes from this that ,we are all visualizers in the sense that we all use imagery constantly - (p. 311). But are all mental images images of visual information? What about music - does it create mental images?
