Funny Ahktu, When you say it like that it makes me think of dyslexia (I am dyslexic)
Theres a lovely book called the gift of dyslexia, that discribes in it how dyslexic people ususally think visually.
It's apparent at the age of 2, a non dyslexic toddler will see a sleeping kitten as a bit of fur. A dyslexic toddler will see the ball of fuzz spin it round in it's mind pop out some legs and a head and reslise it's a kitten - head straight to it and poke it awake.
This works so well for them that when they come to learn to read & write they do the same things with words. Instead of learing the 'rules' of spelling they start spinning all the letters and words round in there mind trying to 'work out' how to make the words instead of remebering them.
I know my way of thinking was amazing for studying anatomy and physiology as I found it so easy to see and visualise the functions and structures of the organs.... it's obviously less usefull for spelling like people expect
