What term is used to describe the technique of forming pictures in your mind as you read?

Imagination
Mental imagery
Visualization
Reading projection

The correct answer is: Mental imagery

Mental imagery is the correct term used to describe the technique of forming pictures in your mind as you read. When readers engage in mental imagery, they create visual representations of the text in their minds, which can enhance comprehension and retention of the material. In contrast, the other options are not specific to this technique. Imagination is a broader term encompassing various creative processes beyond mental imagery, while visualization typically refers to the act of forming mental images but is not specific to reading. 'Reading projection' is not a recognized term related to the technique described in the question.
