People with aphantasia are actually _better_ at mental rotation tests! Lack of visualization is no obstacle to the brain, which of course has all sorts of interesting implications.

Fascinating. Thank you for providing the paper. As someone with moderate aphantasia, it didn’t even occur to me that people performed “mental rotation” versus “analytic” strategies.

What analytic strategies do you utilise ? I'm heavily on the mental rotation camp, I suppose.
