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.

在过去的 50 年里，哲学家和心理学家一直在争论各种类型的模拟心理表象是否存在。本研究批判性地回顾了这些争论中的一些论点，因为它们涉及到三种不同类型的心理表象：感知表象、意象表象和数量表象。在此过程中，仔细考虑了这些模拟心理表象论点所预设的“模拟”的含义，并为未来的研究开辟了道路。本文属于以下类别：哲学 > 认知科学基础哲学 > 表象哲学 > 心理能力。
