it's not a significant disability frankly, that's part of the reason it's only just now received a lot of study. It's more of a dysfunction than anything.
It is fundamentally a lack of imagination, we cannot imagine things, it's impossible. Ironically, it's quite helpful to some individuals, me in particular i really enjoy any sort of complex stated systems. I can really latch onto those and comprehend them pretty well. I can do artistic things for about fuck all though.
It is a lack of visual or sensory imagery, but not a lack of imagination.
yeah, but a large part of imagination is being able to visualize something in your imagination. Otherwise doing things like 2 + 2 in your head would count as imagination.
Also technically, not visual/sensory imagery, just the ability to visualize things in your mind. But that's semantics so meh.
