On the note of your post, i've found as i've gotten older my ability visually imagine things has diminished a lot. When i was a kid or even a teenager i could vividly picture and imagine things in my mind. As i got older, i practiced less as i dealt with more practical things in life and i fins now i have a harder time imagining things as vividly. It tends to be more blurry and indistinct.
- okwubodu 5y agoOh wow I rely pretty heavily on mental images even for non-spatial tasks so losing that scares me. Never thought it might fade.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoBad news: I posted the same pattern, then scrolled down and saw your comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27440102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27440102 Getting older in general is scary, but inevitable. Work as hard as you can each day and minimize BS. Also take time to appreciate the people around you, though.
- grawprog 5y agoI did leave out though, that as i've realized this and practiced more with imaginative things, i have regained some of this ability. So i agree with the overall premise that visual imagination is a skill you can fain or lose due to practice or lack thereof.
