Seeing and Thinking

Dr. Susan Barry reports that learning to see in 3D actually changed how she thinks. As her world inflated, she noticed that her reasoning became less linier, and she became more able to imagine multiple things happening simultaneously. Can you recall a time when a shift in perspective or a new skill changed how you reason? How might changes in other senses, like hearing or touch, alter more abstract aspects of our thinking?
