In an undergraduate thesis, 12 people with aphantasia and 27 with imagery, recruited online through aphantasia forums, judged short sentences such as "buses can be yellow" as true or false. Neither group slowed down when switching from a sentence about appearance to one about movement, so the effect the study set out to find did not appear. The aphantasia group answered faster overall, but the groups were small and most of the aphantasia group reported ADHD or autism, so the author cautions that the gap may not be due to imagery.
