The Experiences, Insights, and Methods of a Middle School Teacher who Discovered that Aphantasia was a Thing with Paul Bogush Part 1

from Discovering Your Mind - Aphantasia and Beyond · host Shane's Brain

Send us Fan MailIn part one with Paul Bogush, a visualizing middle school teacher, he tells how he discovered that aphantasia was a thing and how it immediately explained so much about his life experiences with his daughter and his students. He goes on to explain how learning about aphantasia has helped him better reach the small percentage of students that he was missing before, because his previous teaching style was focused on using visualization. We also discuss the education system in general, mislabeling students with aphantasia, why working harder is not the answer, having a photo album vs filing cabinet, younger children vs older children, the red square test, and more. Oh, and shocker, he just recently discovered that not everyone visualizes the same way he does. Even as someone that has been studying aphantasia for over 3 years, and claims to have listened to this podcast, he still made that assumption.
