Ah Gardener.* Love the theory.* One of those that may be useful,
   even if it has a dubious biological basis.* The concept is that
   people have a preferred channel for learning; auditory,
   kinesthetic, visual, introspective, etc. It's often used as a
   justification for having multisensory learning methods.* I'm a
   believer in it; even if no actual preferred channels have been
   found biologically just yet.* I think it's practical, as people
   do seem to have tendencies. It makes logical sense anyway; if
   one sees the body/brain/environment in terms of input/output, it
   would make sense that, like any hardware, some function better
   than others in different people. For me, for example, I tend
   towards auditory; well, music really; and introspective.*
   Related to the music, I find myself thinking more in terms of
   programming rather than mathematical, with for, if/then loops
   and such. Process thinking I guess. My idea is that perhaps
   there are different preferred toolsets within the mind; one may
   be more adept at building thought structures (yes, using a
   building analogy) using building blocks of analyzed emotional
   content, while another may find it easier to build structures
   using logic content.* Equally powerful but ending up with
   different results when faced with the same situation. hence,
   cultural differences between men/women or between this group and
   that group; different assumptions of the world's expectations of
   you and the behaviors you should exhibit... how you are trained
   is the "right way to think", etc... all beginning from the time
   we are babies and someone says, "boy or girl"? and modifies
   their patterns of interaction accordingly. Is it true?* Darned
   if I know.* Just something I think about; how concepts are
   formed initially from birth... and some, even from before.
