My daughter has aphantasia, and is completely the opposite. From your example, if she were shown a photo of a sick animal she would 100% remember the concept of it, the emotional memory of it as well. Even though she sees blank if she tries to visualize it. I’m more on the hyperphantasia end of things. I also lean more towards the ‘out of sight out of mind’ end of things. Which I attribute that to an adhd symptom. Also, in the above example, a lot of times I’ll remember the concept first, then the image forms.
