Anyways, great way to describe them. There's also something related that you might be interested in which I don't think I've shown you before. It's chunking. Basically, the theory of concept-categorized thought is valid even to the lab-tested degree.

I personally don't know if you introduced me to it or not, I've talked to a lot of people about these types of things. I don't remember understanding it to well though. I've been told to see everything as one picture and not several objects.

I do find chunking interesting, and I believe it is the same thing essentially as concepts. I was going to give the word example to explain that the brain can learn to group sounds/letters and such. I'm often not aware of psychology terms usually, I understand these things, but through observations that I make myself.

I find it interesting that sometimes I can see the concept of a picture that I never previously saw. I mean not everything I see in my head is exactly spot on even if I recall from memory. I believe some of the details are randomly generated (well their based on what concept I have, so not so random). But sometimes I can bring two things, like a specific person and a specific location together and create a new concept. See thats what I try to do when I visualize. If I notice their are two different concepts, like an object and its background, the image is more unstable. But I can group the two into a combined concept, and solidify it.

By doing this all I hope to create more connections in the brain, so that I can see clearer concepts of what I want to see faster.
