Visual mental imagery, or the ability to see with the mind’s eye, varies between individuals. The vividness of visual mental imagery ranges from aphantasics who experience no mental image at all, to hyperphantasics who experience very clear and vivid mental imagery. In the present study we investigated the possible connection between the vividness of visual mental imagery and precision of information retrieval from visual memory. We predicted that people experiencing weak or no mental imagery are poorer at retrieving information with great details from memory, such as the color of objects, than those experiencing strong and vivid mental imagery. This was tested in three experiments: a perception task, a visual working memory task, and a lon...
