Thread: Visual thinker task, can you do it!

Ah, good old conceptual thought.. Still haven't given up trying to get ppl to understand I see XD

Well, I'll throw my 2 cents is.

Visual and verbal thinking are simply representations of whats happening in the background.

Now, scientists try to use cases where something is missing to try to figure something out or figure out more about it. I'll use that. Have you ever had a time when you had a word that was on the tip of your tongue but you didn't know what word? You can find words that are similar and you know what the word is supposed to mean but you can't quite grasp it. This is a concept without its verbal representation.

The concept is, in essence, the meaning of the word. It is attributes, colors, connections. If you ever infer something without it sounding off in your head, your thinking conceptually. if you see somebody that's angry or annoyed and you consciously realize it without hearing in your head "he's angry" then you've had a conceptual thought.

I wouldn't be able to use visual representation only for even a minute... XD Right now, as I'm typing this, my head is sounding off things I should write, things people might say to it, things I might say to that and just generally dictating everything.. XD

This task is something I have been doing for a few years now. It's very relaxing and fun. Plus, it's fun to empty your mind of all thought and completely enjoy the moment you are in right now. Time is short, and sometimes it can slip past you, without you even noticing.

I used to think in speech, especially in puberty... I was learning two languages, so I got kind of used to thinking in them (as well as my natural language)

but now as years have passed, it's rare for me to find a speech in my mind... I mostly think visually and kinaesthetically

so I kind of understand the difference between them

for example, in dancing classes, I learn by trying to feel the movement being performed by my body (kinaesthetic that is) and most of the time copy the teacher's movement with my body

shouldn't be hard to do.. at least not for me (I guess).. I'll post results
