Abstract:

With admirable clarity, Pylyshyn shows that there is little evidence that mental imagery is strongly constrained to be analog. He urges that imagery must be considered part of a more general symbolic system. The ultimate solution to the challenges of image theory, however, rest on understanding the manner in which mental imagery is both a symbolic and an analog system.

Abstract: Symbolic imagery is an important element of cross-cultural literary studies and plays an important role in cross-cultural literary studies. Symbolic imagery is often related to the emotion and theme of the work, and there are significant cultural differences, if not fully understood, it will lead to the loss of the original image and the lack of cultural connotation. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the cross-cultural literary research of symbolic imagery, and grasp its commonality in the literary and artistic theories of Chinese and Western personalities.

Abstract:

The “Perky effect” is the interference of visual imagery with vision. Studies of this effect show that visual imagery has more than symbolic properties, but these properties differ both spatially (including “pictorially”) and temporally from those of vision. We therefore reject both the literal picture-in-the-head view and the entirely symbolic view.

Abstract:

Phraseologisms are symbolic and figurative means of expression that people have created through language over the centuries. Therefore, fiction cannot be imagined without phraseology. Fiction bus-relies entirely on artistic expression, imagery, and narrative. Therefore, the extensive and effective use of phraseology is extremely powerful in fiction. Phraseologisms are symbolic (figurative) means of expression and imagery that people have created through language over the centuries. That is why language and fiction cannot be imagined without phraseology.

Abstract:

George Gillespie's valuable observations on light and lattice imageries are placed in the context of current research and theory on cognitive imagery (Kosslyn, Pylyshyn), ordinary and lucid dreaming, representational geometric imagery in scientific thought, the author's previous writings on altered states of consciousness, and Gibson's views on perception and imagery. Gillespie's reports show categories of imagery deconstruction and abstraction that link these areas and suggest an integrative model of the varieties of symbolic imagery.

The dragon-tailed lion motif is a hybrid creature motif usually composed of a lion&rsquo;s body with a dragon&rsquo;s head serving in place of the tail.

Abstract:

Pylyshyn's critique is powerful. Pictorial theories of imagery fail. On the other hand, the symbolic description theory he manifestly still favors also fails, lacking the semantic foundation necessary to ground imagery's intentionality and consciousness. However, contrary to popular belief, these two theory types do not exhaust available options. Recent work on embodied, active perception supports the alternative perceptual activity theory of imagery.

Flood mapping on Earth imagery is crucial for disaster management, but its efficacy is hampered by the lack of high-quality training labels. Given high-resolution Earth imagery with coarse and noisy training labels, a base deep neural network model, and a spatial knowledge base with label constraints, our problem is to infer the true high-resolution labels while training neural network parameters. Traditional methods are largely based on specific physical properties and thus fall short of capturing the rich domain constraints expressed by symbolic logic.

The aim of this research is the interpretation of William’s poetic contrivance concerning the use of animals, mythological beasts and symbolic creatures in plays and short stories. Through an interdisciplinary lens we juxtapose different cases such as the Iguana in The night of the iguana, birds and sea turtles in Suddenly last summer, griffin in A milktrain doesn’t stop here anymore, cat in “The malediction” etc. These symbolic creatures are allusions of fantastic characters’ anima, meaning the irrational part of the soul. In religious imagery these symbolisms ar

Abstract:

This paper examines the signs, symbols and images of Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave” and discusses the difference between the inner and outer worlds and power politics. It also analyses the images and symbols of this text from political as well as philosophical points of view. The inside and outside of the cave signify the human’s reality and prospects. The findings show the cave's shadows, which the prisoners observe daily from inside the cave. And when one prisoner comes out and sees the outer world, he gets disillusioned by the sunlight, the ultimate truth. The cave symbolizes the two wo

Abstract:

In the target article Pylyshyn revives the spectre of the “little green man,” arguing for a largely symbolic representation of visual imagery. To clarify this problem, we provide precise definitions of the key term “picture,” present some examples of our definition, and outline an information-theoretic analysis suggesting that the problem of addressing data in the brain requires a partially analogue and partially symbolic solution. This is made concrete in the ventral stream of object recognition, from V1 to IT cortex.

Abstract:

In order to understand the nature and intensity of the debate over the reform of “drug” legislation, it is necessary to appreciate the aesthetic forces which influence attitudes to this question, and the symbolic meaning which is attached to the imagery of drugs. The “war on drugs” is a war about emotional imagery and contested symbols, and in particular about the idea of the boundary—a matter crucial to the metaphysics and social organization of Western society. At the same time, it will be argued, it is the failure to recognize that we are dealing with the symbolic realm which bedevils both

Abstract:

The relationship between imagery and creativity was examined using a prediction from the theories of symbolic representation developed by Morris and Hampson [1, 2] and Kaufmann [3–6]. One-hundred and fifty-four college students completed the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory on preferred styles of problem solving and Paivio's Individual Differences Questionnaire on preferred mode of symbolic representation. At a general level, results were in the expected direction for both theories by showing a significant relationship between innovative problem-solving preference and general level of use

Abstract:

As a Chinese commemorative pop song, "Forever Ultraman" carries the symbolic imagery of heroes and the intergenerational memory within the Tokusatsu cultural tradition. Drawing on methods of modern music analysis, this article systematically explores the symbolic construction mechanisms of the piece through lyrical semantics, melodic structure, rhythmic organization, and emotional expression. It reveals how the work encodes collective sentiment and heroic narratives through musical elements, establishing a representative "cultural memory ballad" structure. The study offers insights into both p

Abstract:

The novel The River Bay is the latest full-length masterpiece by Zhang Wei, a famous writer and winner of the Mao Dun Literature Award, who has been working on it for five years. In this work, Zhang Wei continues his tradition in his novels of expressing thematic ideas through the creation of imagery. “Fanggaotu” (“Visiting the masters”) is not only a physical imagery, but also a deep symbolic meaning and clue, which plays an important role in shaping the characters, creating a natural context and enhancing aesthetic meaning.

Abstract:

Seasonal imagery allows not only to reveal the chronotope of the lyrical text, the psychological state, and intentions of the lyrical subject, but also to reflect the specifics of the author’s reflection of the surrounding world, the peculiarities of his worldview. A dynamic and transforming motif-shaped cluster, the seasons are endowed with a symbolic load, semantic diversity, consonant with the historical and cultural era, and moral and ethical preferences of society. In this regard, the study of Mordovian women's poetry in the aspect of seasonal imagery is recognized as a productive researc

Abstract:

Designing cultural goods is meaningful in connecting experiences, memories, and emotions and evoking resonance. The design imbues cultural, historical, and national symbolic emotions with products. Such products induce people's psychological responses through sensory tension and a thematic atmosphere, stimulating consumers’ desire to purchase. By exploring the imagery of Taiwan's unique cultural elements, we investigated how designed products expressed these elements, transforming them into tangible designs. We proposed the “Image Transformation Method” by (1) establishing unique image charact

Abstract:

The author describes the process of a young woman who had a stroke, which she attributed to taking the drug known as “ecstasy.” Five years later, after receiving supportive music therapy and psychiatric services to treat her depression, she turned to Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) as an avenue for healing. The illustrative case study offers a brief history of the young woman’s background and an account of the most striking of the 21 sessions in her GIM series. A chart lists all the selected music programs as well as the client’s insights and recurring symbolic imagery.
