The article mentions that echolocation is a way the brain adapts in some blind people but your comment seems like echolocation is at least partially learned skill.
Since you’ve taken a class on it I’d be curious to know whether you got the sense it’s something most people could learn if they wanted to spend the time/effort? Or does it seem like the sort of thing that some people just seem to pick up “naturally”?

I think practice helps here, but talent helps too, just like with learning to play a musical instrument. There are people for whom it comes easily, but it seems other people can be taught too. This is all anecdotal evidence, though.
