In replies, please indicate if you have aphantasia (no mind's eye). Still interested if not, but the question is mainly directed at aphantastics.

Have any aphantastics tried visual mnemonic techniques, like the method of loci, memory palaces, etc? Do they work at all for you?

It’s a great line of inquiry! I have aphantasia and the key mnemonic method that works for me is word and sound patterns. Palaces ineffective; rhyme and alliteration effective.

I did try a while ago and I did find it helped quite a lot actually! The only problem was the amount of maintenance the house required (so to speak), I would need to practice daily and for a lot of time or it would fade rapidly (exams ended up taking priority).

I've read about them and found the instructions completely baffling to the point where I couldn't even try. I've recently figured out that I do seem to have an adequate spatial memory and wondered if I could use that to adapt them but I haven't made any attempt to yet.

Very interesting - so you have spatial memory, but no visual imagination, is that right?

The Method of loci works for me.
