This is why I used the term "visual spatial processor" instead. The idea that people can be sorted into visual/aural/kinesthetic learning styles is a false trinary(?), because people learn in all of the modes, and some are more appropriate than others in certain contexts.

Having a preferred mode of thinking is a whole different thing.
