Images important even if not primitive explanations
TegenArgument

#963
It may be true that images are not primitive, low-level entities. However, explanation does not always require an understanding of what happens at the lowest possible level. The proper level of analysis perception requires the inclusion of images.
For example, you wouldn’t learn much about architectural design just by studying bricks, mortar, steel etc.
Stephen Kosslyn and James Pomerantz (1977).

Images are primitive, functional components of thought
Images are primitive, functional components of thought☜Thought can’t be explained simply in terms of verbal stimulus-and-response patterns. The phenomena of meaning, memory, learning and language involve a coordination of images with words that is not fully explained by the behaviourist program. ☜98CE71

Images aren't primitive explanatory concepts
Images aren't primitive explanatory concepts☜To be explanatory, images must play a role in causal explanations. Experience suggests they do not. Images in themselves (prior to interpretation) are epiphenomena that ride above a causal substrate of propositions, like foam rides atop a wave.☜EF597B
