Abstract
Words are powerful tools of thought and communication, but visual imagery has a similar role that is more archaic, powerful, and encompassing. The human infant represents the world to himself or herself in imagery and fantasy long before he or she says his or her first word. The signs of the use of visual imagery still remain in cave paintings that go back thousands of years.
