I can fairly easily picture “something,” but it’s always extremely protean. During meditation for example I sometimes picture Calvary, but the forms are just constantly shifting around that theme. I certainly can’t just picture an apple and just hold it still in my mind’s eye. Although I do suspect if I spent around 10,000 hours at it I could get considerably better. The point of all that is I rather suspect aphantasia is very much a spectrum.
I’m really not a visual learner for the most part, and maybe that’s why? On the other hand I’m quite good at shape rotation and other such problems. That and there are times where I find the visual interpretation to clarify my understanding of the abstract concept. The standout example of that is the marvelous Visual Complex Analysis.
