Honestly, I am not entirely sure. Most of the time I believe that I am not, but I have found that if my world is visually "busy" I get distracted easily and cannot concentrate. There are a few concepts, particularly in science, that are best presented visually, but overall I do not believe I am visual. Well, I take that back: would reading count as visual? It's an interesting question because it is certainly different from something such as math. What do you guys think?
2. How do you believe it could impact the learning of students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing?
In my classes with psychology, we have learned that the brain makes sense of what we hear and what we see. Taking away one aspect of this and leaving only one may make things especially difficult for some Deaf students. In my own personal experience, I know sometimes I can look at a math problem and say "what on earth am I looking at?" Since ASL and various sign methods can be dramatically different from English, explanations and definitions may become mixed up and difficult to understand.
