Dr Linda Silverman, the pioneer of the Visual Spatial Learner concept
identifies two types of gifted visual spatial learners.
The first is children identified as gifted who score extremely high on
an IQ test because of their great ability both with tasks using visual
spatial processing and those requiring auditory sequential thinking
processes.
The second is children who are brighter than their IQ scores, who have
great ability in visual spatial processing and marked weaknesses in
auditory sequential processing.
