In the late 1970s and early 1980s, psychologists and education researchers interested in mathematics problem-solving strategies sought to classify problem solvers as belonging to one of three categories: 1) visualizers, who had a preference for holistic approaches involving extensive use of visual methods; 2) nonvisualizers or
verbalizers, who had a preference for more verbal approaches; and 3) those who tended to use both visual and nonvisual methods (Burden & Coulson, 1981; Krutetskii, 1976; Richardson, 1977; Lean & Clements, 1981; Presmeg, 1985, 1986; Quinn, 1984; Sheckels & Eliot, 1983; Suwarsono, 1982).
The focus affixes and aptative prefixes are
verbalizers; they change the word class of the root.
Wohlgemut (2009: 95-97, 100-101) describes this technique as a subtype of the indirect insertion strategy and suggests that these affixes "generally serve the purpose of (re)assigning a lexeme to the class verb." In (12), the
verbalizers -pu- and -ol- are added in Pitjantjatjara (Australian, Pama-Nyungan) and Hungarian, respectively:
On the other hand, Hoffler (2010) has even suggested that multimedia can compensate for
verbalizers' low-visuospatial capabilities and thus benefit them more.
As shown by Ralli (2012a,b, 2014), the latter applies to loan verbs, where the Greek
verbalizer -iz- is, for instance, used in the Aivaliot (142) dialect for the accommodation of verbs of Turkish origin (e.g.

verbalizer" in your head shuts off for a moment.
The verbal implementation of concepts leads to the need of identifying their actualizers (known as objectivators, explicators, nominants,
verbalizers, conceptual qualifiers, etc.)--verbal units that provide the conceptual basis of the PD types, despite the fact that communicative and pragmatic parameters for defining qualifying senses of the lingual units are quite subjective both from the side of the communicants, and from the perspective of the researcher.

Verbalizers vs.
Given that writing is a technological product storing knowledge outside the human individual and thus encouraging a sense of the known as separate from the knower, it appears to be no accident that the prehistory of writing begins with enumeration of visible, material commodities, object-things seen and/or felt as distinct from human thinkers and
verbalizers, such as Schmandt-Besserat finds in the commodities with which the Near East tokens deal.
Mean maximum spectral power was nonsignificant for subjects classified as
verbalizers, regardless of focal scores, and for all subjects when guessing low-imagery targets.
Their article reveals many ways in which writers have tried to categorize different cognitive styles; for example some distinguish between
verbalizers and visualizers, or between converging and diverging, or between what one author calls serialists and holists.
For we lifelong
verbalizers to deny nonverbal reasoning powers to the mute brain is akin to denying that French speakers are really saying anything to each other, on the grounds that we don't understand them.
