SciShow Psych: We Don't All Have a "Mind's Eye" | Aphantasia

Teacher or professor: SciShow Psych
Subject: Psychology
Content of the Lesson: Some people don’t have or use visual imagination, or the “mind’s eye.” Many with this condition, called aphantasia, might not even realize that they’re experiencing the world differently, but this difference offers a new window into how the brain processes imagination, emotion, and even memory.
