I began to consider this as my mouth filled with the flavor of pineapple as I remembered the flavor of a pineapple.
Do other senses suffer from the same issue?
Interesting, it might be just different or depend on what sense is more dominant. I can feel imaginary smells, but never felt imaginary taste.
Technically: no, because aphantasia specifically relates to visualization.
But there are other, similar issues with other names.
Would you happen to know the names or be willing to share? I guess I didn’t know what to look for.
Just last week I was looking up ADHD and autism in blind people, but I was also questioning whether blind people could have aphantasia. Or rather, how does blind people perceive roundness or a circle in their mind? They know what it feels like at least, so is it tied to some other sense? I’m guessing blind people have a way of mapping out surroundings and 3D space, but explaining how a person thinks about it is as hard to describe as whether two people perceive the same colours the same way.
