During this period, vision was reframed as a problem of internal representation and computation, not simply a direct sensory readout. Researchers demonstrated that the vividness of mental imagery correlates with memory performance, linking subjective experience to objective recall and fueling debates about analogue versus propositional representations. Cross-disciplinary work emphasized the organization of visual information through cortical maps and advanced a unified framework tying perception, memory, and action together within cognitive neuropsychology.
