I wonder if there is a continuum here. I think that I can visualize things in my head, but doing so is difficult for me, and definitely doesn't look exactly the same as if I saw it. And certainly if you tell me to think about an elephant my first instinct would be to think of words that describe an elephant, not summon up images of an elephant. But if pressed I could visualize a shadowy silhouette of an elephant. And I definitely think I can visualize movement and actions, although it is different than normal sight, and there generally isn't a lot of detail in what the things moving look like. I definitely relate to not being able to describe what people look like, because unless I specifically take note of details like what they are wearing, what color their hair is, whether they are wearing glasses etc. or I don't remember those details.
