I am still not clear what abstract thinking is. I don't buy that abstract thinking is all about making mental images. I have watched intelligent people with high IQ thinking but their eye movements do not suggest that they think in pictures.
I think abstract thinking is much more than that. I can't relate to the programmer example. Can u give another example?
