Abstrakt

How ought we classify visual representation? Is there any reason to suppose that information made available through the eyes is represented in a different kind of way to information made available to the ears, or to touch? In this paper I will explore whether, for the purposes of cognitive science, a useful representational taxonomy will give a special place to visual representation. In particular, I argue that pictures are not a good exemplar of the "iconic" genus of representation.
