Siena and Simons · Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
People with aphantasia rated their memories as less vivid but recalled object colors and locations as accurately as others. The authors suggest some may lack awareness of their imagery rather than the imagery itself.
Dupont and colleagues · Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
Aphantasics showed no increase in motor cortex excitability while reading action sentences, unlike those with typical imagery. This suggests that mental imagery is a necessary component for the motor simulation of language.
