A subsequent study, corroborated this finding, showing that the majority of a sample of people recruited on the basis of visual aphantasia also reported having reduced auditory imagery.

If a person correctly perceives the forms and has knowledge of the objects, but cannot identify the objects, they have associative ...
The following criteria are required to classify an event as an inattentional blindness episode: 1) the observer must fail to notice a visual object or event, 2) the object or event must be fully visible, 3) observers must be able to readily identify the object if they are consciously perceiving it, [3] and 4) the event must be unexpected and the failure to see the object or event must be due ...
