What about flow diagrams on a white board? And what about coding? My coding process involves a somewhat visual process of imagining how functions connect to eachother. Is it just a logical or linguistic (like uh, using word tokens) process for you?
I’ve always learned better by just reading plain text instead of looking at diagrams or drawing mind maps or whatever, when I think about facts or am constructing a program, the things I need just pop into my head, I don’t really consciously keep track of a visual representation of how things are tied together, I just “know” what I’ve already done and what still needs to be done without thinking about it
I just tried to imagine the layers of the app I’m working on as a stack of blocks and it felt like a lot more effort and a lot slower than how I normally think about it, in which the descriptions of the different layers all pop into my head at once, and I can kind of cycle between which one is at the forefront of my mind. I can do this pretty much without effort
Coding is not at all visual for me because I lack the ability to picture anything. If I think of a function, I know what it does, I know what it returns and I know what arguments it should have but I can't picture a call graph in my head or anything like that; only metadata associated with things.
No on drawing pictures.
