Primes

• Representational Modality
  • What changes across modalities is which symbols are practical, which are perceptually salient, and which cultural conventions apply—a separation aligned with Newell's (1980) physical-symbol-system hypothesis, which characterizes symbolic computation by its functional role rather than its physical instantiation.
