Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Real objects are the most transparent symbol system as they directly represent the object they are associated with. For example, a real apple represents the concept of an apple in the most direct and transparent way possible. Written words and line drawings require a learned association with the concept they represent, and Bliss symbols are a more abstract symbol system that also require a learned association.
