sketch of hierarchy of icons, from individual analog dimensions to coordination into a multidimensional space (e.g., color), to coordination of dependent with independent dimensions (e.g., some graphs, diagrams), finally to coordination of dependent dimensions with monogamous, spatiotemporal independent dimensions (e.g., photographs, visual icons).

analysis from lishner 2024's commentary: "Also notable is an internal analysis based on the data provided by Vaidis et al. (https://osf.io/9xsmj), which revealed a significant correlation between ratings of perceived freedom and attitude change among participants within and across both counterattitudinal conditions (across both conditions: r = .12, p < .001, N = 1,997; low-choice condition: r = .17, p < .001, N = 937; highchoice condition: r = .09, p < .003, N = 1,060)

Nature neuroscience, 14(2), 147-153. The figure shows rodent hippocampal sharp wave ripples during navigation in awake replay, both local and remote.
Of course, even containing the xaet same pixels does not (and eould not hold every mid-and low-level feature constant For example, rotating the anagrans changes the orientation of edges in the stimulus, and can also change an mage's aspect-ratio. It would, of course, be impossible to hold all mid- and low-level features constant without using the exact same image (without transformation); but in that case, there would be no effects to discover ( barring contextual or attentional effects). In other words, while this approach does not allow complete control of mid- and low-level features, it allows for more control than has previously been possible while systematically altering the high-level property of interest.

Although this approach helps to control for uncontrolled influences of past knowledge and skill with the memory materials, it fails to acknowledge the transformational importance of past knowledge and skill with the memory materials!
from 2011 BBS precis of The Origin of Concepts: "Core cognition resembles perception in many respects that distinguish it from other types of conceptual representations. These include the existence of innate perceptual input analyzers that identify the entities in core domains, a long evolutionary history, continuity throughout development, and iconic (or analog) format. The representations in core cognition differ from perceptual ones, however, in having conceptual content."
