Non-verbal representation: images, drawings, maps, and memory
Non-verbal representation: images, drawings, maps, and memory
In this chapter, modality-specific imagery is considered in the context of emergent symbols for actual representation, by drawings and maps. It is argued that covert coding of movement output can mediate non-visual spatial representation in memory. It suggested that the invention and discovery means of representation do not necessarily depend on a long process of associative learning. Further, this chapter proposed that cognitive and modality-specific aspects of information are not mutually exclusive aspects of information processing. Finally, the relevance of temporary memory to spatial development on non-verbal representation is discussed extensively.
