I’m curious how that kind of visual/spatial memory interacts with the inability to visualize your imagination.
minus-squareToday@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoThis is how i describe it. I can remember my dead dog - small, black, cute, foxlike tail- but i can’t picture a dog. Sitting in my living room i know where my bedroom is, what it looks like, and what’s between here and there; but i don’t ‘see’ it.
