No: computers can't understand images [5b]
No: computers can't understand images [5b]☜Computers cant think because they cant use images in the way that people do. Computers can only deal with formal symbolic information.☜59C6EF

Images represented by filled cells in an array
Images represented by filled cells in an array☜Cells in a matrix inside a machine’s memory function as if they were arranged in a visual array. Images correspond to filled cells within such an array. Array-based sensory patterns are interpreted by higher-level systems. ☜EF597B

Images are Quasi-pictorial representations
Images are Quasi-pictorial representations☜Images are quasi-pictorial entities with special properties that correspond to those of their correlated physical objects. Images possess structure by virtue of their ties to higher-perceptual processes.☜98CE71

Mental Rotation »
Mental Rotation
Mental Rotation☜Subjects rotated images in their heads in much the same way that they would rotate physical objects in space. Conclusion: the mental image being rotated has spatial properties analogous to those of an object.☜98CE71

Scanning visual images »
Scanning visual images
Scanning visual images☜The time needed for subjects to describe mental images corresponds to the time it would have taken them to scan an actual picture. Conclusion: internal images have special properties analogous to those external images. ☜98CE71

Behavioural evidence inconclusive »
Behavioural evidence inconclusive
Behavioural evidence inconclusive☜The behavioural evidence cant determine whether pictorial or propositional representations offer an adequate explanation of mental imagery. Instead, the evidence supports a theory about the process via which representations are employed.☜EF597B

Scanning and rotation evidence is problematic »
Scanning and rotation evidence is problematic
Scanning and rotation evidence is problematic☜Kosslyns experimental results may be invalid as: 1) subjects tacit knowledge of real objects makes them think they are supposed to work with images in the same way they work with real objects, and 2) The experimenter is able to affect the results.☜EF597B
