«In fact, the particular regions and connections we found support an emerging body of neuroscience evidence indicating that intelligence depends on the brain's ability to integrate information from verbal, visual, spatial and executive processes,» he said.

For example, Theme 3 exploits information from Theme 2 to help predict future changes in ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystems, but results from Theme 3 also feed back into Theme 2 by providing critical information on the expected temporal and spatial changes of ocean acidification and thus enable meaningful experimental designs.

Understand how to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective.

Someone with high visual - spatial intelligence, such as a skilled painter, may still benefit from using rhymes to remember information.

Using generalized USA information from ArcView and spatial data from the Otsego County Planning Office, the students were challenged to use GIS to see and make sense of the connection between the topography of the Susquehanna Valley, existing land use (farms, housing, commercial, restaurants, entertainment), the proposed baseball park, location of existing roads, and public opposition to and support for the proposed development.

Basically, the visual learning style means that people need to see information to learn it, and this «seeing» takes many forms from spatial awareness, photographic memory, color / tone, brightness / contrast and other visual information.

Spatial information technology products include technologies and data from Geospatial Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems and other relateinformation technology products include technologies and data from Geospatial Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems and other relateInformation Systems, Global Positioning Systems and other related services.

By employing a range of mediums, expanding spatial capabilities, and experimenting with abstraction and structure, the artists of this exhibition explore the visual information — the light, color, tones and shapes — we encounter from moment to moment, offering new translations of these optic experiences.

The clearest relevance of reification for painting stems from its use in Gestalt psychology from the Berlin school of the 19th century to describe an object having more spatial information than is actually present, an idea that translates in today's terminology to: «the sum is greater than its parts.»

The two former methods are dependent on the large - scale circulation variables from GCMs, and their value as a viable means of increasing the spatial resolution of climate change information thus partially depends on the quality of the GCM simulations.

While regional climate downscaling yields higher spatial resolution, the downscaling is strongly dependent on the lateral boundary conditions and the methods used to constrain the regional climate model variables to the coarser spatial scale information from the parent global models.

For example, simple approaches such as spatial interpolation or adding climate changes from GCMs to observed data fields do increase the spatial resolution but add no new information on high resolution climate change.

There is new information that lack of sea ice causes storms to produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap have been largely unsuccessful.23 There remains considerable uncertainty, however, about the spatial patterns of future coastal erosion.
