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

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

Unsure if I have aphantasia. I don’t literally see things when I close my eyes. I can sort of imagine it, visually, but like through a separate set of internal eyes? Like thinking of a word rather than seeing it in front of you. Have great visual memory and special reasoning 1/

I can imagine 3D models of, eg, topo maps, rotate them around in my head and find navigable routes, eg see video (near Tioga Pass). I can do all this but I don’t literally see it with my eyes closed. I’m skeptical whether I or many others really have aphantasia 2/2pic.twitter.com/UKYFCZR09w

yes aphantastic. no memory palaces haven't been useful -- can see how it might feasibly get in to spatial memory but feels v costly to do so.
