Theories which explain some concept in terms of a direct relation to an object.
The “Fido”-Fido theory of meaning says that the meaning of a word is an object it stands for (the name “Fido” means the dog Fido); the term is thus a nickname for a naming theory of meaning.
The “Fido”-Fido theory of belief is an extension of this idea, and says that to have a belief is to stand in a direct relation to a proposition which one is believing.
