The headline seemed perplexing, but after seeing the article's illustration I was shocked to realize that's me (sort of). Whenever I think of time on a scale of at least weeks, the mental picture I have is circular. The center is always the house I grew up in. Months aren't represented as just colors, but images: views of the yard surrounding the house, based on the season a particular month corresponds to. Perspective changes based on the timescale I'm focusing on. As a kid I used to picture numbers in color, mostly as gradients. On the number line, the hue would change subtly about every ten numbers. That went away shortly before adolescence though. Granted, these are all purely mental images—there's no spatial or perceptual component as in the article. Unfortunately no exceptional memory or recall abilities either.
