Spatial visualizers are bad at object visualization abe object visualizers are bad at visual spatial visualization. Research has shown that physicists tend to be spatial visualizers and artisits tend to object visualizers. Humanities professors tend to be verbalizers.<br /><br />Temple Grandin seems to be the opposite of you (and me). She is great at visualization but by her own admission cannot do algebra.

But not nearly as much as I am expected to. <br /><br />Now thinking about the interrelationship between aphantasia, prosopagnosia and a general non-verbal learning disability/visual processing problem learning profile.Nightengalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750985645821551827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-76194250608680131662016-11-07T18:58:14.594-05:002016-11-07T18:58:14.594-05:00Thank you for sharing a word I've been wanting...Thank you for sharing a word I've been wanting!tuttleturtle42https://www.blogger.com/profile/10200741889496874805noreply@blogger.com
