Question

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both of them are treated by brain in augmented form

Explanation:

Symbolic representation is the representation in mind where the image of the object is made in brain such as if we say the word flower then the image of flower comes to our mind so the same thing can be done in practical form for the people who are deaf. Gestures are also the examples of symbolic representation. On the other hand analogical representation is usually a comparison between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification. The image is not shown but the pre recorded image of the object is recalled in the memory and the brain realizes it. For example the word flower relates to the word beauty.

Answer 2

Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.
