What about those of us with Aphantasia? We can't form visualizations in our minds like most people can. When I say, "picture a bouncing red ball", you can probably see a red sphere bouncing on the ground. But I don't see anything. I can hear the bouncing, and I can feel something round going up and down, but visually, it's just static.

Using the littlest cues to remember the biggest things really works. My sweet kitty passed away suddenly a few months ago. I had *one* moment with her that morning where we were sitting at the window and I kissed the top of her head and she purred and mewed up at me. I remember exactly what that moment felt like, and whenever I think of that memory, I can remember all sorts of things about her. In the horrible first few days after I lost her, the thing that scared me the most was that my memories of her would dull, like the memories of my other lost kitties had dulled. Holding onto this key moment has helped me remember lots of other things about her, though.

That's such an amazing memory. I had something similar when my orange kitty died last year from kidney failure. We knew on Friday that his last day was going to be the next Monday, so all weekend we got to do all the things that weren't allowed before... Raw chicken, so much fish, very fatty meat, going outside to explore the yard... It was so nice to finish with a few really sweet memories. Thank you for your story and reminding me how great those furry little monsters can be.

as a linguist, i can tell you that the skill you were practicing would certainly be harder to map with verbal recitation, esp in front of a crowd. the interesting thing about working memory and language acquisition is that while we may remember both form and meaning, we store them differently/at different speeds (especially after a certain age). You knew the meaning of each digit of pi, but their form (spoken out loud) was not something you practiced. still, being able to remember pi is just as impressive to me as being able to *say* pi. awesome vid

​@@AltanStray If I understood namanaama correctly, she means the act of actually pronouncing the digits. It's kinda like when having to sing your favorite song a cappella on a stage, it's significantly harder to recall the lyrics because your memory of the lyrics is tied to listening to the instrumentals and the rhythm of the song. But in this case, it's saying the digits out loud on a stage that Sabrina hasn't trained, and that takes mental capacity away from her.

It's funny how people respond to arbitrary difficult undertakings. Or maybe I should just say "quests". I went on a long bicycle tour years ago and I got the wildest cheerleading and support for it from random strangers. As soon as I shared this thing I was doing, they were cheering me on, wanting to know why I was doing it, and just being excited. I think it's a happy part of human nature that we do this. I thought Sabrina's theatre recitation would be kind of meh, yet that audience (and of course, Sabrina's imperfect struggle) made it positively electric. Deep down we want to see each other achieve and improve, and I think that's pretty beautiful.

@Eli-el7mr Жыл бұрын
It does make certain aspects more difficult, but it isnt as big of a handicap as you may think. I have grade 5 aphantasia, meaning I see nearly nothing at best and usually nothing at all. But theres a dramatic difference between the capacity to "see" with the minds eye vs "know" theres something there. What I mean by that is that your spatial memory is likely still healthily intact, otherwise you couldnt navigate your home in the dark, you'd have difficulty remembering general layout of a home, you wouldnt know where you keep food in your pantry, and so on. In the same way you may not "see" your bed in your mind, you know where it is in the house, where it is in the room,roughly where its near other furniture and you know what face of it is closest to the door. All without "seeing" it in your mind. You can apply the same thing to building locations in your mind and creating mnemonic images to store information there. You may store less images per location or require more time to build the skill, but as someone with aphantasia who built 5 palaces, a 100 person/action/object system over just the last 2 weeks, I can promise you its possible. Please try your best to build the skill, and focus on a multi-sensory experience to add detail over just visual. You may not see the couches fabric, the grain patterns of wooden furniture or even the exact shape of the room, but you likely can "feel" the fabric, "smell" the wood" and "hear" if the room is tile or carpet/big or small. Details make things stick, and the more you practice now, the faster youll get :)

My ADHD was diagnosed because I went to the doctor distraught by having realized how bad my memory is. You may also find fulfillment in investigating coping techniques that tend to vibe with neurodivergents. Desperate to figure out how to best adapt, I learned a lot about multiple different neurodivergencies. It turns out, I'm not just ADHD, but also autistic. Leaning into adapting my life specifically for myself has made everything way better, and way more manageable.

I've heard of the memory palace thing before, and the ideas on why it works well. And it's always mystified me... I can't tell you where my sock drawer is, I can only show it to you. I can't navigate around my space which I've been living in for nearly a decade unless I'm physically there, with all those visual cues. And I know this for a fact, because of how many times someone has asked me, "where is your [thing]?" And it wasn't just that I couldn't put it to words, it's that I literally could not remember until I had gotten up and walked over, at which point I could lay hands on it immediately. And folks always tell me, "oh you didn't have to get up, if you just told me I would've got it for you!" But I literally couldn't.

I'm guessing then that it's likely that you have some form of aphantasia, which is a spectrum and can be selective if I'm not mistaken (I know the former, unsure abt the latter), which is where it's harder or basically impossible for people to picture things in their minds, especially with detail. That or maybe it's some sort of spatial memory thing I'm unaware of?

Lots of interesting replies! I never considered aphantasia, since I can visualize scenes from fiction, etc. Once, during an online tabletop session, while I was listening to description and rp after the combat part stopped, I switched tabs for a moment to check something, then came back and was startled that we went "back" to the battle map-- then I realized we'd never left, I had just imagined what the gm had described. But also being autistic and going nonverbal only sometimes, I know selective isms are very much possible, hah. I think it's also relevant to note I have a terrible memory otherwise, though, between ADHD, migraines, and depression since childhood that was only first treated starting in my mid 20s.

*edit:* I forgot to mention how freaking cool you are! I have aphantasia, so tricks that work with imagery fall flat. Luckily, I have the mechanisms and mental duct tape to make it work! My memory (presumably like most peoples') is very relational, so I am connecting qualities/information instead of "seeing" it. I still have a sense of how connected things are ("distance") which is probably all that is really needed to get the method to work. So for me, I know "this chunk of 5 digits [which has these cool properties] is a neighbor to these 8 digits [which have these other properties], and they are part of this neighborhood of chunks." The imagery for most people is replaced by "cool properties" for me.

My partner is the same way; that's actually how I realized I had aphantasia-- my partner is an artist and was describing their thoughts, and I realized "picture ___ in your mind" wasn't just a figure of speech. People *actually* see things, they aren't asking you to think about the description of an object -_- Your dreams must be wild if they are anything like what my partner describes!

@@reeyanchoudhury6014 if that is directed at me, I'm not sure I could give an effective example. I really like numbers to an abnormal degree (I've changed walking routes in order to walk by parking lots so that I could look at numbers). When I see numbers, I like to apply operations to them to sus out qualities (factor, multiply, check divisibility, etc.) or recognize them from elsewhere. As an example a few days ago I was riding in a car and the car ahead of us had a license plate whose numeric portion was 2184. There is someone in our village with the same numbers, rotated (8421), so that's a connection, but it's also really satisfying because 84 is a multiple of 21, which in turn means 2184 can be easily factored to 104*21. And you may be saying, "hey, I recognize 104, that's the number of whole weeks in 2 years" and that means 13 divides 104, so 2184 = 8*13*21, and then you think "well heck, those are Fibonacci numbers, and in sequence!" And suddenly the weird little number is pretty cool. I've been doing this for at least 25 years, so I've interacted with a lot of numbers, and some are more familiar than others. This makes number sequences kind of a cheat since my equivalent to a "story"/"palace" is composed of numbers in sequence:P Example from early on in Pi (which I've mostly forgotten): "4197 is connected to 16 is connected to 9399375 which is connected to 1058 which is connected to 2097, to 4944, to 59, to 2307,..." - 4197 reminds me of a cooler version of 4096 (2^12, a number I used a lot as an assembly programmer) - 16 is everywhere in my programming life, and is a power of a power of 2 (2^2^2) - 9399375, though 93993 is just plain fun, the 75 makes my heart sing. When dividing integers by powers of 2, the decimal expansion often ends in "375" (i.e. 3/8 = .375), and even 9375 which is particularly pleasing (e.x. 15/16=.9375) - 1058 was the last 4 digits of a phone number I once knew - 2097 looks somebody Frankensteined 2047 (one less than a power of 2) and 4097 (one more than a power of 2) - 4944 I dislike this, number, I don't remember why. Still cool, 24*206, both of which are memorable numbers (hours in a day, bones in a body) - 59, also dislike this, but to be fair, it is prime, and one less than a product of consecutive primes (2*3*5-1). I have not found a pleasing niche for this number - 2307, I just like it, like an improved version of 1807.

I too have a high degree of mental 'blindness' and have never achieved an "image" when told to imagine. For me it is rare to see the 'dark shapes' and I have never been able to lucid dream or have in head visuals from psychodelia. This is a trauma response from my brains need for survival, i.e. I have DID and this is one way it manifested.
