[QUOTE="Mark Quayle, post: 76309415, member: 410020"] It does with other things. But I've noticed with two brain-injured friends of mine (one from stroke, one from blunt force trauma) who find it hard to read, that numbers are not particularly a problem. A different part of the brain is involved. It isn't the eyes nor what interprets what the eyes see, but whatever comes next, I'd guess. Both also have problems with certain kinds of reasoning, and both have a tendency toward child-mindedness, gaining pleasure from simple things. For example, both find complex irony hilarious in movies, but neither easily understand spoken jokes. One of them is an excellent mechanic, but he can't figure out how to play minesweeper (simple logic) on his computer. He likes cartoons and children's movies, but he's 62 years old. The other friend is probably better at reading body language now than before her stroke, and situational comedy (TV or movies) is her thing (ironies, frustrations and such), yet she cannot understand a simple pun or a play on words, and explaining it only frustrates her.
