Behavioural evidence inconclusive
The behavioural evidence can't 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.
John Anderson, 1978.

Note: Anderson supports ths argument with a formal proof.
