Why it matters

The idea in context

People with aphantasia can't summon mental pictures — asked to 'imagine an apple', they know it without seeing it. Minds vary more than we assume.

Türkçe

Aynı kart, başka bir dilde.

Afantazi, bazı insanların zihinsel imgeler oluşturamaması ya da bunu yapmakta zorlanmasıdır.

Afantazisi olan kişiler zihinsel resimler canlandıramaz — 'bir elma hayal et' dendiğinde, onu görmeden bilirler. Zihinler, sandığımızdan daha çeşitlidir.
