Imagery: There is more to it than meets the eye
Philosophy of Science Association 1980:285 - 301 (1980)
| Abstract | This paper looks at the role of imagery in cognition from the standpoint of treating images as forms of symbolization. It begins by making some basic distinctions about different kinds of symbolic functioning. It then proceeds to examine issues concerning: the variety of types of symbol systems used in cognition, the analog-digital distinction, image picture-percept relations, and propositionality | |||||||||
