Visual and verbal thinkers; a visual thinker is someone who uses images to think, and verbal thinkers think in words. If I were to look up the definition of visual thinking, the first thing that would come up as an answer is; refers to a group of generative skills that, when practiced with rigorous discipline, result in the production of new and original ideas. By seeking to discover visual forms that fit his underlying human experience, the student of visual thinking comes to know the world. These last two sentences were quite confusing, so to help me understand them more I kept looking for something simpler; to receive deeper insight into visual thinking. It was already clear that a visual thinker thinks in images, but needing something more descriptive, I kept finding articles and quotes within them. What I discovered is interpreted in this essay. Visual and verbal thinkers use different ways of remembering things; they are different in their mind. Visual and verbal thinkers are different in several ways; the way they process information, the way they may respond differently to different types of action, and the way they think can also vary in which hemisphere of the brain you're working towards. “While the basic steps used to process information are consistent, the skills, goals, prior knowledge, and strategies used in processing information can vary greatly between individuals. (Sojka and Giese)” What best helps me understand these quotes from the article “The influence of personality traits on the processing of visual and verbal information”, is how it is further explained in the rest of the article how people they wrote, tested the different visual and verbal thinker...... middle of paper ......as a visual thinker, you think in images and use images to help you understand what is happening in the world around you, when you think as a verbal thinker, you remember things in the words you and describe and define things in the way that will help you. Verbal and visual thinking are different and identical things that may depend on the way you learn, the way you are taught, and the hemisphere of the brain you work towards, but if forced to think the way you don't think, then your thinking brain gets confused.
