Aphantasia, Memory, and Brain Research

Discovering Your Mind - Aphantasia and Beyond

Send us a text

In this episode we explore whether or not people with aphantasia struggle with memory more than those who can visualize. We discuss a study that found that aphantastic folks have weaker object memories but strong spacial memories. We play some memory games, try and remember Cole's high school graduation and discuss some intriguing brain research involving aphantasia and memory.
