A bit ago, someone on Twitter linked to this year-old post that I found interesting, having to do with counting and mental images of number lines (revealing how individuals’ cognitions differ):
…also interesting, this note left in the comments section:
“In note of Richard Feynman’s memoirs he mentions an experience with a room-mate. One of them found he could keep counting while he was reading, and the other could keep count while he was talking, but neither could do both. They discovered that for one of them perceiving his numbers meant hearing them (so talking blocked his counting), while the other was seeing them (and so couldn’t simultaneously read).”
