Dear colleagues, especially those of you who had undergone a traditional brahmanic education,

I would like to know whether any visual images, or interiour visualization techniques are involved in the traditional memorisation of Vedic or other texts? Or this memorisation is purely acoustic and dyachronic? How the memory of traditional pandita is organized, is there any spacial structurization?

I ask these questions in order to better understand the role of oral tradition and alphabetic writing in arising of "atomistic approach" to speech in indian phonetics and grammar.

May be, you can suggest some works which could help me.

Thank you in advance!
