You're probably right - I actually suspected that may be the case - though I was only using that as a parallelism for what I'm saying.
Language, in my understanding, operates at a lower level of abstraction in the brain than say, Math. I would suspect that Spacial Reasoning is similarly low-level. It would be interesting to see if there is any impact to the higher-level reasoning when the foundational blocks are played with.
The difference probably wouldn't be very large, I'm now realizing. People who are blind since birth, as far as I know, don't have any observable differences in common patterns of thought. And that seems like a larger difference in low-level thought than being able to understand four dimensions versus three. (Not suggesting blind people lack spacial reasoning in three dimensions)
- d0mine 9y agoThe way people think about the same things ("translation schemes") can be different (blind or not). As an experiment, try to measure a minute by counting and doing something else http://youtu.be/lr8sVailoLw http://youtu.be/lr8sVailoLw
