Picture Perception in Animals
Search in google:
For 35 years, visual recognition by animals has been studied by showing the subjects pictures of social or non-social objects, or scenes without questioning much the validity of pictorial representations. Here comparative psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists address that issue by asking such questions as whether animals recognize visual objects or scenes on pictures despite variations in viewpoint, the extent to which birds recognize the real world from its two-dimensional representations, and whether monkeys extract gaze information from pictures.
