The feasibility of ideography as an empirical question for a science representational systems design

Peter C-H Cheng. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

The possibility of ideography is an empirical question. Prior examples of graphic codes do not provide compelling evidence for the infeasibility of ideography, because they fail to satisfy essential cognitive requirements that have only recently been revealed by studies of representational systems in cognitive science. Design criteria derived from cognitive principles suggest how effective graphic codes may be engineered.
