That's interesting. It seems like my brain supplies both, but it can be delayed a lot of the time. When I'm at school studying facts I often do fine memorizing the facts, but I have trouble responding emotionally. That makes essay questions very difficult for me. I've started to look for stuff I respond more emotionally to, to make the essay stuff easier.
The same thing can happen in reverse. I often find stuff fascinating, but I feel more like being mesmerized than actually studying it. I guess that's the way my brain likes to process things at first. I like to observe stuff and just feel the energy of things. That probably sounds very hippy dippyish to stem people. Eventually I jump into studying the actual terms.
That happened to me with my special interest in eyes. When I was two years old I like to play with my mom's glasses and just observe them. I never got to play with my dad's glasses, but I still liked to observe them. I was too young to actually study about it, so I just spent a lot of time observing it. I did the same with other people's glasses. I ended up annoying a lot of people.
I read a few simple things about it in elementary school, but I never actually read about it until I was in high school. When I did read about it everything just clicked and seemed very common sense.
