    1 has gotta be the norm, right? Like, whenever I see a movie adaptation of a novel I’ve always heard from people who’re mad because the film doesn’t line up with their mental image

      It’s a really poorly communicated image. Less detailed visualization isn’t literally a washed out version of the thing, it’s more that the details only exist if you’re actively thinking about them, rather than your brain subconsciously imagining all the details immediately.

        Yea I don’t really “see” an apple, it’s more that I can pick out one infinitesimally portion of it at any moment. So if I think about the leaf I can construct the leaf, but not the rest, and it is constantly changing as I move to other parts of the apple.

        I wouldn’t really say I see anything, it’s more abstract than that and hard to convey.

          I think I’m the same way. Like if I imagine an ornate doorknob from an old temple I can see it in a general view, and I can focus on the details one little bit at a time, but I can’t picture the entire thing at once with detail. It’s also not like I’m seeing it, it’s fluid and honestly somewhat difficult to focus on.

      I’m a 1 but I feel like I gotta see a prototype of the object first. I’m better at recall than conjuring (but I assume most people would be?)
