Malcom this is so interesting! I have very vivid visual memory but I can't see text or numbers in my images. For example, I can still describe to you the pages of the books I studied for my GCSE's some 15+ years ago, but I can't remember the words. I can describe to you the outside of a shop, what's in the windows and the posters, even the images on the posters... No idea what the shop is called. Blank.  I was however good at maths, I don't know if that was a different part of the brain for me. I wouldn't say I did things using my visual mind as such but it's been a long time since I've done any math worth talking about.
