It appears to be an early work about the relationship between
cognition and visual perception through representations.

I am generally interested in how people interact with visual
representations/abstractions and how this interaction affects
learning and reasoning about these abstractions.

While the book predates the technology we take for granted, and
thus is probably limited to static representations, I was curious to
see if anyone here had read it and what they thought about it.


You also have a degree in art history and design? Perhaps you we
should designate you the official SIGIA polymath. ;)
