Visual thinking

Post Reply New Topic

What do you mean "flying around each number in three d"?

Some things just don't translate well into pictures, and verbal is best. Outside of verbal or the kind of feeling I was talking about, HOW could you even know how to pronounce words?

I'm a very visual thinker. That's the only way that I can think.

I'm a very visual person.

This is quite hard to describe, so bear with me.

If I'm relaxing I tend to get lost daydreaming in visual thought chains and this is too easy to fall into when I'm supposed to be working.

Working and casual thinking involve lots of internal monologue thinking.

If I'm reading will get completely absorbed by self created imagery to the point that I am oblivious to the world around me. This works slightly differently for reading non-fiction, where I use the imagery to memorise information from the article (either an image from the article or a self-created image of the information documented. This is easier with some subjects than with others).

With regards to using brainpower for subjects like computer programming I use large amounts of visual thinking for such things. Especially Object Oriented Programming and Data Normalisation, where I have begun working on ways of potentially taking advantage of this in a look at database internals in C++ (something I began but have neglected for a while).

When under stress though I tend to become much more visual than I normally am, and have to concentrate hard to keep things under control.

I'm very visual and remember things from years ago as if they were a series of slides or even a short movie. I also dream in colour and again it is like seeing a movie.
