MODERATORS
I mean, it's definitely visual, but it's not like I could recall or recreate it photographically.
I remember certain "broad strokes", but my brain just fills in the details with approximations (that are probably wrong). Like, I could tell you which way the Mona Lisa is facing, the color of the background, what her hair and face sort of look like, but without googling, I have no idea what clothes she is wearing.
