Mental imagery is simultaneously symbolic and analog
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (2):205-206 (2002)
| Abstract | With admirable clarity, Pylyshyn shows that there is little evidence that mental imagery is strongly constrained to be analog. He urges that imagery must be considered part of a more general symbolic system. The ultimate solution to the challenges of image theory, however, rest on understanding the manner in which mental imagery is both a symbolic and an analog system. | |||||||||
