Upside Down
Brilliance: Visual Spatial Learners
by Linda K Silverman
"Do you know things without being able to explain how
or why? Do you solve problems in unusual ways? Do you think in pictures rather
than in words? If so, you are not alone. One-third of the population thinks in
images. You may be one or live with one.
If you teach, it is absolutely certain that some of your students—probably the
ones you aren’t reaching—are visual-spatial learners. Dr. Linda Silverman coined
the term “visual-spatial learner” in 1981 to describe the unique gifts of people
who think in images. They get the big picture because they see the world through
artists’ eyes.
They remember what they see, but forget what they hear. They’re
disorganized, can’t spell and have no sense of time,
but they have an infectious sense of
humour, wild imaginations and can lose themselves completely in the joy of the
moment. Visual-spatial brilliance created the computer and the Internet, the
vivid displays at the Olympics, and the International Space Station.
Upside-Down Brilliance: The Visual-Spatial Learner
is the blueprint for parenting, teaching and living with these delightfully
different beings. It is also a manual for discovering and honouring your own
hidden gifts."
