One of her key points is that <strong>tables interact most strongly with the verbal system<\/strong> of our brain. This contrasts with <strong>graphs and charts<\/strong>, which primarily engage the <strong>visual system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>verbal system<\/strong> processes data in a more analytical, text-based manner. When someone looks at a table, they are essentially reading: scanning rows and columns, decoding words and numbers, and making logical comparisons. This approach is slower and more detail-oriented, making tables suitable when the goal is to <strong>look up specific values<\/strong>, compare exact numbers, or reference data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>visuals like graphs or charts<\/strong> engage the <strong>visual processing system<\/strong>, allowing the brain to grasp trends, patterns, and outliers quickly. These visuals are ideal for summarizing data and telling a compelling story that resonates at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>cognitive system<\/strong>\u2014which encompasses both verbal and visual processing\u2014is indeed involved in understanding all data forms, but it\u2019s more of an overarching mechanism rather than something that a specific format like a table targets directly. The <strong>auxiliary system<\/strong>, meanwhile, is not a recognized term in neuroscience or in <em>Storytelling with Data<\/em>, and may be misunderstood or misapplied here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, while several systems in the brain play a role in processing data, <strong>tables primarily engage the verbal system<\/strong> because they require reading and detailed analysis. Understanding this helps communicators choose the right tool\u2014table or graph\u2014based on their communication goal and audience needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In storytelling with data, the author states that tables interact with your verbal system, cognitive system, visual system, and auxiliary system.
