I’m curious how that kind of visual/spatial memory interacts with the inability to visualize your imagination.

    i can describe it with language, but i can’t ‘see’ anything. but for example i can see a picture of a classroom and explain how it’s different from the one i used to be in.

      So you know your classroom had walls and desks. You can describe them with words, but can’t imagine even a fuzzy blurry image of what it looked like visually? Can you “see” any colors or textures or anything in your memory?

        i can’t visualize at all really. but when i’m physically looking at something similar to whats in my memory but with some minor differences i can tell the difference.
