Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visual Instruction Through Lantern Slides and Motion Picture Films Psychologists tell us that eighty-five percent of our thinking comes from a visual stimulus. How many times have you heard this question in the schoolroom: Don't you see what I mean? Why does the teacher make this appeal time after time in almost every recitation, whether it be mathematics, his tory, or English? She hasn't stopped to analyze. She' knows that in her own mind her thinking is a question of seeing and that she understands when she sees, and that, after all, thinking can be for the most part transformed into the pictorial element and that after she can get the student to see in terms of the pictorial then her purpose becomes suddenly accomplished.
