Anders asks:
>Interesting. What kinds of tests did you do?
Memory for numbers I hear, forward and backward; memory for details in
stories I hear, immediate and delayed; memory for pictures (as measured
by my ability to draw them from memory), immediate and delayed; ability to
arrange scene frames in order ("reading social situations"); ability to
arrange patterned blocks to form larger patterns; ability to memorize and
use a symbol system; ability to do math in my head; and a couple of puzzles
involving connecting dots in numerical and alphabetical order.
