Rudolf Arnheim · 1997
For thirty-five years Visual Thinking has been the gold standard for art educators, psychologists, and general readers alike. In this seminal work, Arnheim, author of The Dynamics of Architectural Form, Film as Art, Toward a Psychology of Art, and Art and Visual Perception, asserts that all thinking (not just thinking related to art) is basically perceptual in nature, and that the ancient dichotomy between seeing and thinking, between perceiving and reasoning, is false and misleading. An indispensable tool for students and for those interested in the arts.

Solving a problem cannot be done purely by thinking. Cognition is enhanced when it is embodied with action or graphics. Visual thinking becomes an extension of our brain and allows us to share and advance thought. Recent increase in information graphics and visual design is enabled by ease in technology and visual resources. I will look at patterns and how they may enhance and shape our understanding for thought. Andy Van Solkema, a graduate of GVSU in 2002, is the Principal Designer and Founder of Visualhero, a design studio focusing on design research, information and user experience design.

Its ability to deal with visual information is one of the mind’s most powerful capacities. Visual thinking, high-level manipulation of visual information, is important to computer science because, with the flowering of computer graphics and image processing, it provides the basis for a rich and intuitively satisfying channel of man—machine interaction. Just as writing evolved to help the verbal mind, so various media have evolved to help the visual mind. Computer graphics is potentially the most powerful of these visual media.

Visual descriptions can be even more valuable during the engineering analysis to discuss performance expectations with colleagues as well as to enhance personal understanding. This chapter describes ways in which to sketch expected fire performance. Before discussing other aspects of visual communication, the chapter briefly describes a building in which an engineering performance analysis had been done 8 months before the fire occurred. The objective of this analysis was to understand the building's existing fire performance and describe how alternative proposals would change the fire risk. The framework structure, the Interactive Performance Information (IPI) chart, deterministic evaluations, probabilistic estimates, and performance curves are tools. They help an engineer to select the most appropriate techniques for different ways to evaluate a building. These help to adapt for constraints of time, knowledge, and the technical state of the art. Each technique has its role, and each relates to the others in some way.

En este trabajo sobre el «Visual Thinking», se tratará de definir de manera concisa qué es\n\t\t\t\t el «Visual Thinking», historia y objetivos. La primera parte del trabajo se centrará en\n\t\t\t\t exponer en qué se basa y cual es su utilidad en los campos en que se trabaja. Así mismo\n\t\t\t\t se hablará también de conceptos como el cerebro, el humor, el aprendizaje, o los\n\t\t\t\t nativos digitales.\n\t\t\t\t Posteriormente se analizará un pequeño cuerpo experimental, realizado con alumnos\n\t\t\t\t adultos, y se propondrán dos metodologías para el estudio, y aprendizaje de «Visual\n\t\t\t\t Thinking» en educación, así como sugerencias de actividades y contenido teórico.\n\t\t\t\t Seguidamente se expondrán los resultados de la sesión experimental, seguidos de un\n\t\t\t\t apartado de autovaloración, y otro de crítica al «Visual Thinking».\n\t\t\t\t Por último, se adjunta en los anexos una serie de referencias bibliográficas, y una\n\t\t\t\t amplia selección de imágenes utilizables como material didáctico.

Thinking Visual Q: Will AI be able to think visually? A model that would, instead of words or digits, use primarily some kind of visual structures to articulate abstract thoughts? ChatGPT: Yes — not only will AI be able to think visually, in an important sense it already does, but we haven’t yet built systems that center visual thought the way humans sometimes do. DeepSeek: Yes, AI is increasingly able to "think visually." Recent research shows a significant shift from AI models that only process language to those that can use visual structures as a primary medium for abstract thought, moving beyond just describing images with words. Gemini: The short answer is: Yes, and it’s already starting to happen. While early AI was almost entirely "blind" (processing everything as text or numerical tokens), a major shift is occurring toward Visual Reasoning and Multimodal Thought. Researchers are moving away from models that just "label" images and toward models that use visual structures as their primary "scratchpad" for solving problems. Claude: This is a fascinating question that touches on some deep issues in cognitive science and AI architecture. Current AI systems already "think" partly visually, in a hidden sense. Multimodal models like GPT-4V or Claude process images using internal representations that aren't language; they're high-dimensional geometric structures. But the output and reasoning chain is still forced through language. So the bottleneck is expressive, not necessarily cognitive. https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/73264
