Aphantasia is the inability to visualize mental images,[1] that is, not being able to picture something in one’s mind. Many people with Aphantasia are also unable to recall sounds, smells, or sensations of touch. Some also report prosopagnosia, the inability to recognize faces. As you might predict, students with aphantasia may not find enjoyment in reading. The reason is they are not able to visualize the story or become engaged with the characters. This does not mean that they will not be able to comprehend a story, it will just take more effort and be less appealing to read a story without pictures. Another area effected is spelling. Those who are unable to visualize must totally rely on memorization. When this area of learning is compromised, it can greatly impact the ability to spell. For some people, aphantasia may affect creative writing and other artistic abilities as they are not able to rely on images to complete inventive tasks.
