If you can remember facts clearly but can’t picture images in your mind, there may be a simple explanation that makes everything easier to understand. I noticed this when friends described visualizing beaches and faces in detail, while I only recalled descriptions and information. Curious about the difference, I found an articke about what is aphantasia https://memoryos.com/article/what-is-aphantasia-causes-symptoms-and-treatment and read it from start to finish. The explanation was straightforward and helped me realize that aphantasia is a natural variation in how some people think rather than a serious problem. After reading it, I stopped worrying that my memory was unusual. My advice is to learn how your mind processes information, because understanding your cognitive style can help you study more effectively and feel more confident about how you think.
