Analog mental representation
1Department of Philosophy, York University, Toronto, Canada.
Abstract:
Over the past 50 years, philosophers and psychologists have perennially argued for the existence of analog mental representations of one type or another. This study critically reviews a number of these arguments as they pertain to three different types of mental representation: perceptual representations, imagery representations, and numerosity representations. Along the way, careful consideration is given to the meaning of "analog" presupposed by these arguments for analog mental representation, and to open avenues for future research. This article is categorized under: Philosophy > Foundations of Cognitive Science Philosophy > Representation Philosophy > Psychological Capacities.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
