Similar to many others here, this is a new realization over the past few weeks since I stumbled across an article on the topic. All of the same manifestations that others mention, most of which get offset by having a very strong overall memory. For example, I've learned to "remember" a lot of facts about what someone looks like - hair colour, eye colour, hair style, memorable features, etc so that I can give some semblance of describing them verbally. However, have no image that I'm drawing upon, and if someone asked me to draw a picture, it would look like a 4-yr old drawing (I'm 48) and I would have no idea how to make it better.The "picture a horse" exercise makes me think of several times over the years trying to draw a bicycle. I know that it has two wheels and bars that go between them, but I would draw ridiculous shapes because I had no memory of how the bars connect and no image to draw upon.Interestingly, I have a math degree, very mentally adept with numbers and a strong memory of facts and figures - perhaps compensating for the lack of visual memory?
