A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

There are some studies. I don't remember the specifics but it's something like 50/50 on hearing and seeing and about 20 percent do neither. I'm sure those numbers are off, but that's vaguely what i remember reading.
What do you mean by seeing? Like they don't see images in their mind?
We don't.
I definitely see images, but not specifics. For example, I can see my wife's face, in my mind, but I can't draw from that memory.
Like I am seeing the images from a distance, but if I try to focus on a detail, the image falls apart.
Some people do. Many of us don't.
This is so fascinating! It's easy to assume most people experience things the same way while we are all different all the way down to how we think and imagine stuff!
