As Block (1981a, 1983a) points out, an advantage of defining mental imagery in this way (i.e., as an unspecified form of representation, as {3} rather than {2}) is that it does not beg the controversial question of whether the relevant representations are, in any interesting sense, picture-like.
From this weaker requirement on preferences that they be extendible to a preference ordering that satisfies the relevant axioms one can prove the existence halves of the relevant representation theorems.
In the case of the frog's detection device, its responding to small, dark, moving things and its helping the frog to catch and swallow something nutritious both played a causal role in selection of the relevant representation producing or consuming systems.
In particular, it will be appropriate in the WGD-fractionation context to simply compare the sets of adjacencies that occur at least once in a genome as the relevant representation of that genome.
If, rather, sense (3) is intended, the assumption would be fine, because tautologous (a quality cannot occur without a quality occurring); but the objection's premise would be, in effect, a flat and question-begging denial of strong representationalism, saying that the relevant representation can occur without a sensory quality occurring.
It furthermore assumes that this competition is resolved in the PFC which maintains overarching contextual information to bias selection of relevant representations over competitors.
The semantic account raises three important questions: how representations are to be individuated, what counts as a representation of the relevant kind, and what gives representations their semantic content.
We present a complementary solution based on the use of lightweight file formats to preserve specific aspects of the product data, in conjunction with a registry of relevant representation information as defined by the Open Archival Information System Reference Model (ISO 14721).
We therefore also provide evidence for an anatomical dissociation between sentence level auditory and visual processing, driven by the probable anatomically separable storage of the relevant long-term lexical representations.
Of all omics measurements available, the metabolic flux profile (the fluxome) provides the most direct and relevant representation of the cellular phenotype.
