This may be one more reason why thinking in terms of probability estimates—which, at least in my mind, are spatially represented and color-coded—is a good habit to get into.

Hey… how did you develop the whole color coded spacial representation thing? I tend to do that sort of visualization with computers but not in my brain. My brain just goes by feelings and intuition.

I’m not sure; my best guess is that it goes back to some childhood memory of letters/numbers represented in certain ways on various educational toys and the like.
In a similar manner, countries other than the U.S., and U.S. states, have associated colors in my mind, due I believe to a toy globe I had at a very young age. (Interestingly, however, I also have a memory of finding that globe again years later, and discovering that some of the colors were different from what I “remembered”!)
