Pylyshyn uses wrong notion of an image OpposingArgument #956

Pylyshyn attacks an extreme picture-in-the-head theory of images that views images as mental photographs. But photographs lack intrinsic structure. Mental images, in contrast, are richly structured entities that still have some spatial properties.

Stephen Kosslyn and James Pomerantz (1977).
