Description:Excerpt from Some Imaginal Factors Influencing Verbal Expression: A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment, on the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor or Philosophy, in the University on Michigan, Departments on Rhetoric and Psychology This study was undertaken to see if any definite and valuable relations could be established between an individual's type of mental imagery and his ability to express himself in oral or written language. Classroom experience shows a great degree of variation in the power of quick, effective, and pleasurable expression in words on the part of students who are apparently equally intelligent and similarly trained. Some have a facility in the use of words which seems to be a dangerous thing, a temptation to superficiary and confusion. Others "have the idea but can't express it," or not immediately. The stock reply of the teacher, "You mean that you haven't any idea to express, or that it is too vague for expression," though often, no doubt, an accurate diagnosis, does not seem to apply in all cases. Another explanation of the student's inability to express himself, the effect of which is to make all clear thinking verbal, is implied in such statements in the rhetorics as the following by Arlo Bates: "Every student should learn... that it (literary form) is an absolute essential of all clear thinking." A number of teachers, asked what part of the process of thinking they conceived of as taking place in words, answered, in the words of one of them, "Thinking and wording are one and the same process." That literary form is essential to all clear understanding on the part of the listener may be granted; whether it is essential to clear thinking is certainly open to question. Intelligent and observant scholars seem to have had experiences similar to those of the inarticulate student.
