Visual Information Processing documents the Proceedings of the Eighth Annual Carnegie Symposium on Cognition, held at the Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on May 19, 1972. This book compiles papers on the results from ongoing, programmatic research projects that aim to develop information processing models of cognition. The role of visual processes in cognition and language comprehension and explicit computer simulation of the memory-scanning task are discussed in detail. Other topics include the chronometrie studies of the rotation of mental images; function of visual imagery in elementary mathematics; and semantic prerequisites for comprehension. The production system for counting, subitizing, and adding; visual processes in linguistic comprehension; and models of control structures are also deliberated. This publication is a good source for students and researchers interested in images.
