I can visualize things in my mind. It's just that I don't use the same ways of visualization. It's not a matter of not using draw or visualize. It's just a matter of using the concept to derive the visualization, rather than the other way around. I have found that this happens in a lot of places in mathematics. To explain a difficult subject, usually shapes and images are used, rather than relating the calculation to concepts that the learner would know from real life.

I thought the downvote was a bit harsh (it wasn't me) but some of the language choices in this answer were unfortunate (e.g. there are several references to doing things "by eye"). Nevertheless, I can understand why you would want to distinguish between visual perception and what can be visualised through the "mind's eye". | |

| Apr 1, 2016 at 22:25 | comment | added | Silverfish | Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this answer, but "draw it, in your head or on a picture" seems to somewhat miss the point of the question: the original question is posed by someone who is completely blind, and therefore looking for a non-visual way of approaching regression. | |
