In the Google books preview, I see the author spends some time claiming that we build iconic visual/spatial representations and that a lot of our thinking isn’t verbal or available to verbal introspection (fairly uncontroversial to me).
Depending on what is meant by ‘spacial,’ the mental life of those blind from birth will address this claim.
Good guess. That’s the subject of some experiments mention in the linked preview (it’s about making inferences from verbal descriptions of scenes) - when the descriptions are spatial, sighted-from-birth are faster; everybody’s the same on visual but non-spatial attributes.
