On “How did you first discover aphantasia?”
I just saw a Facebook meme about visualizing an apple. I just see black when I closed my eyes. I googled it. I started guided meditation and just see black.
On “Learning and aphantasia”
Wow. That is me exactly! I remember in school I wrote notes repeatedly until I had them memorized. Then when I took the test, it was like spitting out a ticker tape of words but they didn’t have a bigger conceptual meaning. I recall diagrams from memory. Box 1 said this. Box 2 says this. But no picture. If I try to conger up a picture, I find myself physically moving my eyes in the direction to create the image.
