1 Introduction Humans do not just passively absorb knowledge from the world; we actively teach one another culturally specific skills and knowledge (Csibra & Gergely, 2009; Kline, 2015). We can be taught to distinguish edible mushrooms from poisonous ones, to build more effective tools, and to solve differential equations, all of which would be difficult or dangerous to acquire through trial and error alone. However, the cognitive mechanisms enabling effective pedagogy are not fully understood.

AbstractHow do drawings—ranging from detailed illustrations to schematic diagrams—reliably convey meaning? Do viewers understand drawings based on how strongly they resemble an entity (i.e., as images) or based on socially mediated conventions (i.e., as symbols)? Here we evaluate a cognitive account of pictorial meaning in which visual and social information jointly support visual communication.
