I'm very bad at visual processing (and have aphantasia). My theory is it's mostly because of lacking vision during key development.
some lit rev here if you haven't see it already by @neurocritic http://neurocritic.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/imagine-these-experiments-in-aphantasia.html …

so one way to sci investigate would be to get aphantasics and non-ap ppl into an fMRI and decode them imagining or
-
trying to imagine and compare the voxels w/ them actually looking at the thing. Would be way of comparing subjective
-
experience VS voxel activations. Esp since we know imagining in non-ap ppl involves visual cortex a lot.
-
what sort of thing do you have in mind as an imagining task?
-
the 2 conds would be "imagine an X" vs "look at this X"; X = basiclevel categs (cat, dog, ect) as we already do.
-
this is simple stuff already done, my spin is one group will be aphantasics and non-aphs.
-
*one group ap, one non-ap
