Now, the first is me. I'm an object visualizer . I found out that there's actually a name for my kind of thinking, and I think in photorealistic pictures.
There's two kinds of visualizers . There's the object visualizer like me who thinks in photorealistic pictures, very bottom-up thinking. Then there's a spatial visualizer who thinks in patterns.
I am a photo-realistic visual thinker. An object visualizer . Lot of people in programming are a pattern visualizer , a spatial visualizer . See, in your brain you have circuits for what is something?
Yeah, giant mess, multimillion-dollar mess, big ego too, wouldn't listen. Then the object visualizers and the math, we're more bottom-up thinkers, specific examples, specific examples of things that work, specific examples of things that may not work, and oftentimes, too many details.
There's the object visualizer like me who thinks in photorealistic pictures, very bottom-up thinking. Then there's a spatial visualizer who thinks in patterns. These are going to be your programmers.
OK, now here's your mathematicians, the spatial visualizer . There's two kinds of visualizers . There's the object visualizer like me who thinks in photorealistic pictures, very bottom-up thinking.
But it was mechanical. This would have been your object visualizers . These are mechanical devices.
I went back through every client I have worked-- I have been out on construction sites for almost every major company. And what I found is the optic visualizers , and they got two jobs, drafting technician or welder, you might have a person who had one semester class in CAD drafting, and this person's laying out entire factories.
with coworkers at work. They'd all be the object visualizers .
does exist. And some of that was reviewed earlier in my book, "The Autistic Brain," but I've added many, many more studies to the "Visual Thinking" book and where the object visualizer and the mathematical mind, they're actually opposite skills-- they're like two types of visualization-- but they're opposite skills.
I saw it. Let's go to the next slide. Our educational system is screening out the object visualizers . I'm seeing kids kept out of auto mechanics class because they can't do algebra.
Surfing the internet, three o'clock in the morning, I, found her stuff about the two kinds of visualizers . This PET brain scan study show that these two kinds of visualizers exist. I was so happy when I found this.
We'll go on to the next slide. OK, now here's your mathematicians, the spatial visualizer . There's two kinds of visualizers .
Torey, wasn't he quite--. Dr. Sacks: The other man was a very good visualizer . His father was a film director and he would always ask his son to visualize scenes.
magazine, which I've read carefully. Now in "The Autistic Brain" book, I now show evidence that these two kinds of visualizers actually do exist. Today the schools are all about evidence based.
with coworkers at work. Well, let's just say, OK, we have the object visualizer , then we have the math mind.
Well, Marie Kozhevnikof's work. Surfing the internet, three o'clock in the morning, I, found her stuff about the two kinds of visualizers . This PET brain scan study show that these two kinds of visualizers exist.
