Gamblers boast about ‘having a system’ for winning at roulette. Young people talk about being ‘aga
3.1 Visualisers and verbalisers A major point about diagrams is that some people naturally relate well to them and use them frequently, while others tend to prefer textual material. The former are sometimes referred to as visualisers and the latter as verbalisers.

In this video segment adapted from NOVA, a team of scientists seeks evidence to support their hypothesis that atmospheric warming—either now
