Representación y creación mental

2017, Revista Mexicana de Investigación en Psicología

Firstly, after reviewing the usual nine classes of mental processes, the difficulty and also the necessity of such distinctions are emphasized. Secondly, all these mental processes are gathered together under the title of representations , which is preferable to the title of images , insisting at the same time in keeping the denomination of image for the creative images. Lastly, it is defended the notion of thought as a language, insofar as it is a system of representation, and in the same way this internal language (neurologically based) is distinguished from the diverse public languages (behaviorally based).
