are. Since the shadow is only cast onto the moon when the sun is on one side of the earth and the moon is on exactly the opposite side - you can immediately realise that you can never see the eclipse if it happens in the middle of the day in your time zone. If it's day - then the sun is on your side of the world - so the moon must be on the opposite side and you can't see it. But if it's night-time for you when the eclipse happens - and presuming you are in a position to see the moon at all (ie there isn't a mountain in the way), you'll see the eclipse happening. You get the best view when the moon is high above the horizon (because the sky is darker at zenith) - so you get the best view if the eclipse happens closer to midnight - and a worse view if it happens near dawn or dusk. Solar eclipses work completely differently - but that's another matter.

explain things. I certainly don't have to think of hiding "under" a table or see a dove as a symbol for "peace". They are concepts that exist independently of the words that describe them. However, if I have to explain to a mechanic at the garage that my car is 'hesitating' during accelleration - I feel a strong desire to sketch a quick graph rather than trying to put it into words. Mathematical concepts are easier for me to comprehend if I can turn them into a geometric representation. I'm just generally much happier with pictures and diagrams than with (to me) long-winded wordy explanations.

in fact think in a combination of different forms, and just have a preference for some over others. (PS, I don't use a ruler to picture the concept of real numbers, although I do use a flexible numberline for calculation. I find the concept easier to understand through mathematical definition and graphs. Beware generalisations!) :-)

Hello! I and my family will be visiting the US in April. We will begin in New York City, then drive to the Niagara Falls, to Washington, D.C. and back to N.Y. before we fly back to Sweden. We have no problem knowing what to do in N.Y., D.C. and the Niagara Falls. But, we will probablably have to stay

I'm US born, but have lived in Australia for almost thirty years since age eleven. There are many insults and slights I have heard in pop culture regarding US peoples, but the most positive have still been denigrating. I might have heard a few conservative peoples refer to the US as 'friends in times

I don't quite hold with what Temple Grandin says - I don't need to think of a mental picture for every word - just as verbal thinkers can recall the shape of a vase without needing to describe it in words. Visual/Verbal thinking is more to do with how you approach solving problems or how you like to

In terms of the metaphor of a visual learner (thinker), images are easier to process and interpret than sounds, as awareness lends itself to visual expression. So the word 'surprise' evokes an image, and the image of someone surprised is associated with the word.It is important to remember that words

example), with difficulty. However, if Temple Grandin is able to communicate with other people in any way other than pictures, I would guess she is able to think in words to some extent, although she may need to understand a concept visually before she can use it. However, as Steve says, most people

and many others who posit theories of how people think. 'Visual thinking' is a possible subset demarcation of thinking. In education terms, some people find it easier to learn reading from a blackboard, while others find they need to talk about what they learn, and others need to feel things related

I can't. It's like me saying: "OK - draw me complex picture - a vase of flowers say - now, what words were you using to describe to yourself that particular S-shaped curve that described the side of the vase?" ...that's a bit overly simplistic perhaps because I'm typing so I had to use words to say

I don't think the knives, forks and spoons are supposed to be arranged in order of size. The idea is that as you start eating, you start with the outermost set and with each course of the meal, work inwards towards towards the middle. This tends to result in the large knives and forks being in the

Hey Sluzzelin, thanks for your research and timely (15 minutes) response. I asked an obscure question at each desk tonight to see how responsive we are and it seems that we're doing just fine at the Miscellaneous desk! Please don't feel that I've been evil or such, I was just trying to see how we're

My mother taught me: Forks on the left side of the plate, smallest fork on the outside, largest fork on the inside, no more than 2 inches from the plate. Knives and spoons on the right side, knives first, largest first, cutting edge directed at plate. To the right of the knives come(s) the spoon(s).

No, they are known as masochists. Lame joke, sorry. Amerophile (or, perhaps, Yankeephile) is as good a neologism as any, though it is unlikely to achieve wide acceptance over, say, pro-American (Is there such a thing as a Germanophile or a Russophile?). And in response to the above, America does

The proliferation of questions concerning the U.S.'s upcoming election got me wondering why people outside the U.S. even care. But I guess a country of our size (I'm an American) and importance (arrogance?) in the world has a lot of bearing. So, I know that there are people in the U.S. who follow

Errr... This is becoming pretty weird. Temple Grandin says she had trouble understanding the word "under" until she made an image about her under a table during a drill, she also mentions she had trouble with more abstract concepts such as peace, she imagined a dove and so. That's what I understand
751:
For the third one, I've asked her this - repeatedly and with an effort to get a solid answer. She's definitely not a visual thinker - that much is abundantly clear. She claims not to know the answer. She says she does not translate her thoughts into either language. Her speech just comes out in
399:
I agree with Steve, at least that's how I was taught. The table setter ought to have some insight as to the courses and their order so as to set the utensils in proper order from the "outside" and working in towards the plate. Damn glad that my dinner companions have no knowledge of that otherwise

It's not hard to understand. A lunar eclipse happens when the earth's shadow is cast onto the moon. This event happens simultaneously for every place in the world and lasts a little over an hour from start to finish. The only question is whether you can actually see it happening from where you
1136:
I (in the south of England) have never heard such a term. As you suspect, anyone in Britain who follows politics much at all will be aware of US events to some extent (you do rule the world after all). If we were going to introduce a term for it, I would disagree with Ameriphile since it implies
244:
Of course, before you need to worry about viewpoint, you need to ensure that the local atmospheric conditions allow one to see the moon in the first place, or all is moot. For example, as I type, those of us in the New England region are having a bit of trouble spotting the early stages of the

Not to mention Francophile and Francophobe for the French. As a Brit living in Texas, I hear the words "Anglophile" and "Europhile" quite a bit - but I've yet to hear a term for people who love/hate America and Americans particularly. I'd go with "pro-" and "anti-" prefixes personally.

But make sure before you get there that you have any required visas, etc. to enter Canada. Every year hundreds of tourists don't get to Niagara, Ontario, because they assume Canada is part of the US and not a separate country with its own laws. I kid you not.

I'm a visual thinker - just as you have no problem drawing a picture, when you think in words (how weird that must be!) - I have no problem producing coherent sentences when I think in pictures. Keep that symmetry in mind and all should become clear!

I think it's very difficult for us to observe our own language of thought and even more difficult to express these observations to others. These questions have been captivating philosophers and cognitive scientists for a long time. The articles on

These are all good ideas, but I would point out that you really don't need to stop at a motel on the last leg of your trip, from Washington to New York. It takes only 4 or 5 hours (even allowing for traffic) to drive between the two cities.

I use images quite a lot to speed up my thinking, but could you (please!!) an example of a complex sentence in the way I said? If I tell you "Yesterday I went to the cinema", how does the word "Yesterday" picture to you? Thanks to all.
