Representation
A representation is in a sense a vector of features or a symbol which (ideally) uniquely correspond to an object (i.e. a noun) and properties of said object (verbs, descriptors, etc…). Many modern interpretations of a representation are often traced back to Charles S. Peirce’s Semiotics.
The Representational Theory of Mind
This theory of mind takes mental states (i.e. internal beliefs, perceptions, thoughts, etc..) as a basis. These states are said to have intentionality, which means they refer to things (i.e. representations).
This theory then understands cognition as sequences of representations (intentional mental states).
