Mental Imagery for Multisensory Designers: Insights for Non-visual Design Cognition

Resumo

© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.How do people with visual impairment see the world? In this literature review based on cognitive sciences findings, we have analyzed the main concepts used in the human brain’s cognitive processes to represent our perception of the surrounding environment. One of these concepts is mental imagery, which resembles perceptual experience without external sensory stimulation. This concept plays a central role in multisensory design cognition. It can help us understand the designer’s cognition process, design better systems for people with disabilities, and open opportunities for multisensory design teams.
