I heard this strange thing from a friend...
He said that all his thoughts consist of pictures, he never thinks in words. I find this very strange cause there's only words spinning around in my head.
For example, if he wants a cup of coffee he thinks this:
And I think:
Oooh it would like a cup of coffee
Anyone else got this "phenomenon"? |

My mom has a friend who associates people's names with colors. When she is introduced to someone, she immediately sees a color to represent them. She thought everybody did that until she mentioned it to someone and they looked at her like she was from Mars.
I don't know that my husband thinks in pictures, but he is definitely a "visual" learner, whereas I am a verbal learner. |

He sees an image of his wife when he thinks of her, I think that's cute.
It wouldn't work for me though, I'm a wee bit face blind actually, I find it hard to recognize people that I don't know very well. Yes Kristy, I know, I shouldn't have said that you look like Jennifer Love Hewitt. |

I'm like that, definitely as a child everything had a colour, names, words, numbers. Not so much nowadays, or maybe i've just stopped noticing. |

I am more like a word-person, although once in a while I think in pictures.
When I have to memorize something I do by memorizing the order of the words written on the paper, so when I think of it again I see it like a image in my mind. Sometimes I think I do it unconsciously xD. |

| Good work over the pictures with me, contrary to the Alma of my memory with images is easier, and I think it is more fun xD |

This one is gonna sound strange but, i cannot remember pictures... I mean, if you ask me to describe my best friend's face i would probably make mistakes...
I mostly think with words, but also with sounds if i want to, i can just hear you talking once and then, i could recognize you for years...
