literature concerned with perceptual processes in both
animals and humans. Moreover, the evidence at hand,
which is summarised in this paper, is fairly controver-
sial and by no means presents a definitive explanation
regarding the process of picture recognition. It is, there-
fore, our hope that the present review will contribute to
launching additional investigations towards a better
understanding of the nature of the cognitive representa-
tions which underlie picture recognition both in animals
and in humans.
