These include the use of ad-hoc strategies, mental calculations, idiosyncratic ideas, everyday rather than mathematical language, non-symbolic explanations, visual justifications and common-sense based reasoning.
There are several notable differences between visual and verbal explanations; visual explanations map thought more directly than words and provide checks for completeness and coherence as well as a platform for inference, notably from structure to process.
Two experiments examined how learner-generated explanations, particularly visual explanations, can be used to increase understanding in scientific domains, notably those that contain "invisible" components.
The rest of Season 7, Episode 1 — "Dragonstone" — proceeds in a jolly combination of plot advancement and plot explanation, with visual glories and horrors accompanying.
To distinguish between the explanation that visual space is scaled and the one that judged arm length is extended, we perform three sessions of estimation trials interleaved with touching trials.
Importantly, vasospasm in the occipital hemisphere in patients who have migraine with aura, and the subsequent reduction in the blood flow, is a major hypothesis in the explanation of visual aura and headache.
Current theoretical explanations of visual hallucinations, while differing in emphasis, broadly agree that impairments in both visual perception and attention are implicated (Collerton & Mosimann, 2010).
An important principle of assessment is to gather information and objective observations before considering all possible explanations, both visual and non-visual, for the information gathered.
Many requested more detailed explanations and visual examples illustrating a range of items to use before they were confident in taking their own photographs.
All these hierarchically deployed explanations for visual input are internally consistent and distributed at multiple levels of description, where higher levels provide empirical priors that finesse the ill-posed inversion of the brain's generative model.
An explicit goal of the reformed course was that students would be able to communicate their understanding of biological principles through diverse means, including both verbal (text-based) explanations and visual representations (e.g., models).
