Résumé
Imagery skills predicted the pleasantness of textures when vision but not touch is permitted. Good imagers rated the textures more pleasant whatever the valence category to which the textures belonged. One explanation is that processing fluency had mediated the influence of imagery skills on pleasantness judgment, in the way that the easiness/difficulty to imagine touching textures was attributed to intrinsic dimension (pleasant/unpleasant) of the textures the participants had to evaluate.
