Study of 5,010 US adults. Self-reported aphantasia at 8.9%. Visual imagery scales show 1.5% prevalence. Not all self-reporters exhibit low visual imagery. Aphantasics report lower dream frequencies. They have less self-talk. They show poorer memory performance. Aphantasics prefer written over video instructions for learning new tasks. Both scales and self-identification provide consistent assessment
