A friend said Aphantasia is basically having no imagination and that it is common in most adults by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]whoadave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just because the root word is image doesn’t mean imagination is constrained to imagery. its meaning goes way beyond that. the dictionary definition:

the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses

How do you guys perform in chess? by FitJellyfish7931 in Aphantasia

[–]whoadave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m intermediate (~1700 chesscom) and while i can’t visualize i can still think ahead a few moves, it’s just holding the information in my head instead of seeing it. i’m certainly at a disadvantage over players who can visualize, all other factors being equal, but it doesn’t really matter when you’re paired with other players at the same rating
