You make me doubt myself. I can't imagine stuff with the closed eyes, but when I read book I kind of can imagine stuff somewhat.
Is it aphantasia or not? Matter of degree?
Aphantasia is objectively measurable. Aphants lack a pupil response to “imagining” shapes of various brightness. They also lack the measurable “stress/anxiety” response to anxiety provoking written passages, but not images.
If any part of your imagination is like the experience of seeing, you probably don’t have it.
No, I remember it was like experience of seeing when I was a kid. I really saw stuff when I read the book. Now I kind of imagine it with thinking somehow. Hard to explain.
