I'm very bad at visual processing (and have aphantasia). My theory is it's mostly because of lacking vision during key development.

seems likely to be the case indeed. Aphantasia is so uncomfortable to even imagine (how meta) for me as I'm so very visual.

I'm not sure? You know way more about brains than I do but if you know more about my subjective experience I have many questions

Haha, on a serious note: I don't study prosopagnosia altho 2 ppl I know fairly well do & I know nobody who studies aphantasia.

Looks like the term was only coined in 2015, so that probably explains most of the variance here.

yeah the term is new, but the idea had been around for a lot longer. I'm a bit fuzzy on historical details though
