The same is true of the diagrams in IKEA instructions, but that doesn't mean that the human brain works with them in the same way as it works with human languages.
- marci 9y agoAnd now, so many more questions. I wonder: - how the brain "reads" an Ikea instruction? - is it similar to non-verbal communication? - do you vocalize an interpretation of the instructions? - 3D projection in your head? - What are the differences between seeing an object, hearing a word that represent it, reading the word? (Now thinking about sign-language, braille...) I just picked an Instruction set to see, but realised I was already biased with the expectation I had of how I would decipher it.
