I’m curious how that kind of visual/spatial memory interacts with the inability to visualize your imagination.

    So in your brain you know your old school exists as a “fact”, but you can’t remember what it looks like? Can you verbally describe what it looked like?

      i can describe it with language, but i can’t ‘see’ anything. but for example i can see a picture of a classroom and explain how it’s different from the one i used to be in.

        So you know your classroom had walls and desks. You can describe them with words, but can’t imagine even a fuzzy blurry image of what it looked like visually? Can you “see” any colors or textures or anything in your memory?
