What it measures

Six words and phrases measure the extent to which a stimulus is perceived as vivid, clear, and imageable. Items include attention-getting quality, clarity, excitement, detail, concreteness, and strength of communicated image. The scale captures the mental imagery-evoking properties of a stimulus and has been used to evaluate the vividness of advertising appeals.
