I think the visualization is why I never enjoy a movie as much as I do a book. My world is populated by characters from the book and I picture the story as it unfolds. I think that is why if I find that I have started in the middle of a series I have to go back to the beginning and start so I can develop the “whole world” of these characters. I love to read because the characters always follow my direction. Recently read the graphic novel of a series that was later “made” into a television series. Of course you are trying to put the characters from the tv series into the book but they just don’t neatly fit the story.
I also have always had a really hard time with left and right and for a compass I always go top bottom left and right which is of course N S W E. If I try to do it the other way I get messed up. In the city I live I picture the city laid out on the map and head for the direction of one of the known landmarks, so if I am going North West I am heading towards West Edmonton Mall. If I am going South Central I am heading toward the Edmonton International airport. This way I usually can find my way even if a street ends and I have to backtrack along the river. I could never do Hokey Pokey and Aloutte was impossible. I was always a few minutes behind.
