Document Summary
Different physical forms could produce the same mental states. The eyes move (saccade), changing what hits the retina. Painting study: with free-viewing eyes move about the painting, from one point to another - with tasks, the movement changes / focuses differently. The image of the retina changes just as often. We don"t recreate imagines in our heads. If we had a complete mental representation we would be good at finding a difference immediately. Recreate an image, using the spare parts. People look from workspace to target to find next block while moving to spare parts, looks to spare part, check the target, then move it to the workspace. Sample information when it is needed - look back at target, finding matching color, look back at target, move matching block to location. Not keeping a mental picture in mind. Taking advantage of stability in the real world (block study) Attend to things as they are needed (just in time)
