I have this for hearing. And after I realized it, I asked a lot of friends about their memories and experienced and found people who like me also have trouble imagining one of the senses. From remembering taste, they never had cravings and ate super healthy, lucky, to not be able to recreate visuals, touch and me missing auditory imagination.
- nimos 4y agoThis is really interesting. I've had similar questions? For vision I'm an "aphant" but I think also for touch/smell/hearing? I could never replay a song in my head. At best I could repeat a few catchy lyrics. Certainty not a beat. For touch to me it seems impossible? Like I could never remember what touch feels like. I would be genuinely more baffled than visualization if someone could tell me they could remember what it felt like to be touched.
- gamerDude 4y agoYeah, similar experience. There is never a song stuck in my head. I can remember the lyrics and often sing along to modern pop songs because the chorus is the same or they use very predictable words. But I can remember what touch feels like. Like I can re-imagine it and re-feel it from memory. Its like other memories in that it isn't exact or anything, but I can definitely somewhat recreate the sensations.
