Question: Do we have any active research in the UK in the use of mental imagery in learning - spelling, reading, maths, comprehension etc? I have been in contact with Georgetown University that is the only centre of excellence I have found.

With regards mental imagery and reading comprehension there are no current UK studies that I am aware of. However, there was quite a lot of research activity (mainly US based, but some studies in the UK by Jane Oakhill and by Vicky Joffe) 15-20 years ago. We incorporated some of the ideas into our intervention programmes evaluated in the ESRC funded York Reading for Meaning Project. I think it is a relatively under researched topic, but one that is very interesting and has lots of potential.
