Abstract
Pictorial perception involves a kind of visual attention comparable to but not reducible to visual field and visual world ways of experiencing. While all 3 are related to pictures and picturing, they are distinct, for picture perception has different purposes and effects than the other 2, including a kind of duality. Pictorial representation can also be approached via physics and ecological optics rather than types of experience. There are serious conflicts between an experience approach and a physics approach, and these conflicts create difficulty in interpreting research results, e.g., in cross-cultural studies of pictorial perception.
