It is something that someone intends to stand for something other than itself. It is the human action of having an intention that one thing stands for something other than itself (UW Video, 2009).As an illustration, to explain the definition of symbol more appropriately Dr. Deloache employed pictures of two cows. One with the name miss USA had the map of the USA as a pattern on her body which could be used to symbolically represent the USA. Similarly, the other cow named miss world had the world map pattern on her body to symbolically represent the world (UW Video, 2009).
