Behavioural evidence favours image psychology

Image psychology predicts image rotation and scanning in addition to explaining them. Propositional theory, by contrast, does not predict image rotation and scanning.

At best, a propropositional theory can be patched together to explain these phenomena, but only in an ad hoc way that could just as well explain opposite results.
