I suspect a lot of these cases might be people believing that "others" have super vivid, holographic 3D color models of things floating in front of their eyes when they "imagine" things.
Interesting. The correlation is not 100% according to the study, but it does seem to be related, somehow. Strangely, I've read for a while ~40% of the population has audio recall/echoic recall, which doesn't seem to match up with this latest study. I think it's maybe hard to study this stuff because of the nature of what is being discussed. Many times I've asked someone who seems to be an aphant, that they report they can "see" something in mind, simply because they think that's how it's referred to with words. In reality, aphants simply don't see anything at all, but know what it looks like. So then later an aphant will admit they don't actually create and see the image in mind. At least, that's how I put it. And I don't do audio recall either.

What makes you think so?
I have aphantasia (self-reported, I guess, is there an objective marker? Brain scan?) and I have extremely vivid audio imagery.
