Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visualizer-verbalizer dimension refers to how individuals process information. Visualizers tend to remember information better when it is presented in a visual format (such as with images) whereas verbalizers tend to remember information better when it is presented in a verbal format (such as with words). Professor Smith's difficulty with remembering information involving images suggests that he may be a verbalizer and struggles with processing visual information.
