Sensual imagery is a literary device writers employ to engage a reader’s mind on multiple levels. Sensory imagery explores the five human following senses:What is the Logic of Teaching Non-fiction to the Students of Early Grades

• Sight
• Sound
• Taste
• Touch
• Smell.

Types of Imagery     Following the different types of imagery

Visual imagery engages the sense of sight.

Gustatory imagery engages the sense of taste.

Tactile imagery engages the sense of touch.

Auditory imagery engages the sense of hearing.

Olfactory imagery engages the sense of smell.

Visual and Auditory:     Whenever we read a book, we’re transported to other places, other times. We feel as though we’re standing alone on the cobbled streets of Edinburgh or sipping tea from the top of Mount Fuji. But, it’s so much more than a picture in our mind or an imaginary sound.

Visual and auditory imagery are just two of the five forms of imagery. What are the five types of imagery in literature? Take our hand, breathe in a deep sigh of contentment, and get ready to take your senses for a ride through each of these five forms of imagery.

Three experiments varied instructions and materials to compare the influence of auditory and visual imagery on free recall. Four kinds of words were presented:-

• Words with minimal imagery
• Words with both visual and auditory imagery
• Words with visual imagery
• Words with auditory imagery

Experiment 1 (n = 48 volunteer college students) found instructions to form auditory images and words with auditory imagery to have the same advantage over control instructions and minimal imagery words as did visual imagery instructions and words with visual imagery.

In Experiment 2 (n = 64 volunteer college students), groups instructed to form both auditory and visual imagery had incidental recall scores no greater than those of groups instructed to form only one kind of imagery.

Experiment 3 (n = 64 volunteer college students) introduced augmented visual imagery (subjects drew a picture of the visual image) and augmented auditory imagery. Recall scores for the two augmented imagery groups were not significantly different from those for the two imagery groups. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for views of the cognitive representation of imagery.
