Info

“I see!” There is an intimate connection between seeing and thinking. For this reason, when we talking about understanding, we tend to use terms that are related to vision. When we suddenly come to understand something we say “I see!” It’s hard to think of terms that describe understanding that don’t refer to sight.
Vision is our dominant sense. 50% of the brain’s resources If you think the brain has to devote to vision a lot of its precious thinking resources, you are right on the money. It takes up about half of everything you do, in fact. (Brain Rules, John Medina, p. 231) When it comes to memory, researchers have known for more than 100 years that pictures and text follow very different rules. Put simply, the more visual the input becomes, the more likely it is to be recognized — and recalled. The phenomenon is so pervasive, it has been given its own name: the pictorial superiority effect, of PSE. (Ibid, p. 233)
