Abstract

Pylyshyn provides sound arguments against the dominant picture theory of mental
imagery. However, we claim that mental imagery is intrinsically dynamic and that the very
nature of mental imagery will not be uncovered by studying static pictures. Understanding
mental imagery of motor actions reveals that any theory of mental imagery should start off
with the temporal nature of real-life experiences.
