PEOPLE: Mind Games

Just tried to play an interesting experiment in my head (see guys, games don’t couple up just with literature, but with science as well) as I was driving home this morning. I’d say a common noun as quickly as I could, close my eyes (just kidding) and attempt to discover whether the item showed up as a visual image or in text. Tough to do when you are both the tester and the testee, but I was surprised to find myself often coming up with a picture of a word spelled out such as TREE instead of a visual image of a tree. I’m sure this has been done somewhere along the line as an experiment and some day I’ll find the time to check it out. Will it give any indication of individual thought process or tendencies?
