Monzel and colleagues · Consciousness and Cognition
VVIQ items showed high redundancy for identifying aphantasia, with inter-item correlations ranging from .79 to .90. A single screening question about visualizing a familiar place achieved high specificity (98.8%) and sensitivity (97.5%) against the strictest definition of core aphantasia (VVIQ = 16), suggesting the full 16-item questionnaire is unnecessary for screening purposes.
Zabelina and Condon · Psychological Research
The Four-Factor Imagination Scale (FFIS) identifies frequency, complexity, emotional valence, and directedness as distinct dimensions of imagination. This suggests imagination is a multi-faceted construct rather than just a measure of mental imagery.
