    yeah exactly. i find it really interesting how some people just can’t separate understanding a text from internally picturing it. it makes me wonder if there’s some legitimate difference in information processing, or if people who can visualize tend to associate understanding with imagining even if they’re actually unrelated

      Yeah… actually now that you mention it, it almost seems like it would be challenging, or at least distracting, if you’re using images for concept processing. And what about really nebulous concepts–do people try to come up with visual graphs of interconnected symbols?

      So interesting to discover that how we perceive the world is so much more different than I thought. Such richness, just hiding behind the eyes of the people around us!
