    Son pocos los estudios que miden la viveza de imagen entre individuos de diferentes países, por eso, en nuestra investigación deseábamos averiguar si existían diferencias significativas entre los individuos de España y de Italia, y entre las mujeres y hombres, en tres tipos de imágenes mentales: viveza de imagen, control de imagen, y habilidad para la imagen espacial. Para ello, seleccionamos un grupo de 103 estudiantes universitarios italianos y otro grupo de 110 estudiantes universitarios españoles a los que se les aplicaron tres tipos de test: un test que medía viveza de imagen, otro que medía el control de imagen, y el tercero que medía la habilidad de imagen espacial. Se encontró que el género no influía en ninguna de las medidas de imagen utilizada, sin embargo, el país influyó en el control de imagen. Los españoles obtuvieron puntuaciones, en control de imagen, significativamente superiores a las que obtuvieron los individuos italianos. Se necesitan nuevos estudios que midan estos y otros tipos de imagen, en estos y en otros países, para llegar a tener un conocimiento de cómo se distribuye la capacidad de imagen por todo el mundo.

    Studies measuring imagery vividness in different populations from different countries are scarce. Thus, the aim of this study was to ascertain if there were significant differences between Spanish and Italian populations and between women and men in three types of mental imagery: image vividness, image control, and spatial imagery ability. A total of 103 Italian second-year undergraduates, and 110 Spanish second-year undergraduates were administered three types of test: a test measuring image vividness, another image control, and a third test measuring spatial imagery ability. Though gender was not found to influence any of the measurements of imagery analysed, the country of origin was found to influence image control. Spanish participants obtained significantly higher image control scores than Italian participants. Further studies are required to measure these and other types of imagery, in these and other countries in order to broaden our understanding of the distribution of imagery ability worldwide.
