Imagined object files: Visual imagery produces partial repetition costs where perception does not

The present study explored whether object (or event) files can be formed that integrate color imagery and perceptual location features. To assess this issue, a cue–target procedure was used whereby color imagery was cued to be generated at a particular location in space, which was then followed by a perceptual color discrimination task. Partial repetition costs (PRCs) were then measured by varying the overlap of the color and location features …
