How vividly can you picture an apple in your mind?

Theme: "Independent Cognitive Science Project — Aphantasia"
This is a collection of hypotheses based on the concept of aphantasia, proposing that differences that appear as personality or ability may actually arise from differences in the vividness of visual imagery.

I am not incapable of forming mental images, but I am not particularly good at it.
My mother has aphantasia — she cannot form mental images at all.
On the other hand, my friends and partner can vividly form images in their minds.
Through conversations between people whose brains work differently, I realized that this "difference in the vividness of visual imagery" might affect how people listen to stories, verbalize things, behave, and even their preferences, so I summarized these ideas as hypotheses.
It allows you to re-recognize that the world you see is not necessarily the same as others'.
I believe that if the concept of aphantasia becomes widely known, it could greatly help self-understanding, understanding others, and even education.
This is interesting reading for both people with aphantasia and those without.
