Question

Hello,
I have a general question; I hope that’s okay.
I’ve noticed that when I approach information, my mind scans the information (say, a page), and automatically it sort of makes little boxes for different pieces, and then connects the pieces together into something like a formula. Of course it’s not exactly like that, and it depends on the kind of information and so on, but that’s how it works in general, at least 80 percent of the time.
I wanted to ask whether this is actually how it is for everyone? Or what this kind of way of thinking is called?
And maybe this is actually a pattern that got ingrained in me sometime in childhood, or I don’t know at what stage, and theoretically there are other ways that are preferable. In other words, I’m trying to understand whether it’s “natural” that this is how the brain decodes / learns / internalizes / understands, or whether it’s a kind of “habit,” and maybe there are 10–15, or I don’t know how many, ways of thinking that one can actually use…
And if it is natural—then are there actually several “natural” forms, with each brain working differently… and is that a meaningful difference, or not so much?
Thank you
