Aphantasia - Image Free Thinking with Tom Ebeyer

Aphantasia is the inability to visualize, people with aphantasia don’t create any pictures of familiar objects, people, or places in their mind’s eye. Not for thoughts, memories, or images of the future.  This conversation is a fascinating insight into the condition itself but also how our assumptions about other people’s perception and understanding of the world may differ from our own.  Whilst research into Aphantasia is in its infancy this conversation is full of thought provoking ideas about the uniqueness of individual perception and a reminder that we need to be mindful in the classroom about assuming one-size-fits all.
