How would you define mental imagery? the ability to manipulate and create sounds, images, or sen- sations in one's mind without any external stimuli 2. According to Pylyshyn mental images are Pylyshyn argued that mental epiphenomena derived from propositional images are secondary phe- representations. What did he mean by that nomena arising from more fun- statement? damental propositional repre- sentations that convey mean- ing in cognitive processes. 3.
