Abstract: A detailed description of mental representation and its properties is presented.Mental representations are carriers of information about the environment of the organism in cognitive science.The core idea of a representation is the central construct of a mediating state which is internal state of a system that carries information.The mediating state has five properties,namely,being enduring,being discrete,having compositional structure,being abstract,and being rule governed.It is important to note that all cognitive scientists accept the core properties of representation necessary to understand cognitive processes.
