Gao and colleagues · Consciousness and Cognition
In typical imagers, a bigger shift of judged action time toward a tone tended to mean a smaller shift in judged urge time, a link not clearly seen in core aphantasia. Imagery may relate to how these shifts are coordinated, not how big each one is.

People who lost their mental imagery reported more childhood trauma, anxiety, heart and breathing symptoms, and ADHD and autism traits than typical imagers. This suggests acquired aphantasia can follow emotional pathways as well as brain injury.
