Ok, before we start... Banana!


Now, when I said that, did you immediately think of a picture of a banana in your head, or did you see the text? I was talking to someone, and he said that he thinks in 3 spoken languages. What'd I'd really be curious about is Docbot, when someone asks you a question in English, do you process it in your mind in English, or do you translate it into Swedish?

Personally, I think in images. What about the rest of you?

I really could not say because the process is thought in a split second that to analayze how I thought of the process is almost impossible, if that makes sense :)

first thing that came into my head was the episode of Paul O'Grady I saw on Wednesday (or was it yesterday?) that was dedicated to Bananas. for some reason...

I think visually, for the most part. In that respect I can remember lots of different numbers (I have to, in my line of work... I have more passwords at work alone than a deluxe swiss army knife has attachments) without much effort, by thinking about the shape of the numbers in question... does this mean I have a 'photographic' memory?

i have a semi visual and semi numerical memory for instance i can tell you evey IP address and whos room it was from my block of flats last year (there were about 90 of us there) so the numerical is all to do with patterns

I think of the english word "banana". Then I visualise it, then I translate it. I'm drunk, so I think I'm honest.
