I cannot really think in three dimensions. At least I find it hard sometimes to clearly visualise something that could be placed into the real world. I know some people can and even more I know some people have such an accurate visual memory they clearly recall images in all their colour. Not me, I have to recreate it from impressions.<\/p>\n
I am told by people who think they know, that dogs cannot see in colour and therefore if they possess memories they are in black and white. I think this is probably \u00a0incorrect as higher animals need to be able to differentiate the real world on several levels of sense even if one sense functions to a greater degree than the others. Perhaps even some animals have perfectly adequate brains but their way of realising the world in them is not our way – after all language is but one form of communication.<\/p>\n
I think in the future one of the surprises we are going to be given by research is just how the brain understands anything, and what if anything, it truly understands. \u00a0I will be surprised (if I am around to know) if it proves the brain can only comprehend the world by creating a language to discuss the world. I am sure that the brain uses language as a form of communication with other brains, but understands on several levels.<\/p>\n
Which is why of course, I think animals are far more intelligent than most people do. There are after all, different ways of being intelligent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
