Episodic memories are less vivid and detailed in aphantasia
Year: 2026
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: This large-scale experimental study investigates the role of VMI on memory of emotional scenarios. Participants with and without aphantasia were presented with matched narratives in both verbal and video formats to assess whether the emotional nature of the scenario (either disgust, fear, or happy) and the vividness of its recall influence the accuracy of short- (immediate) and long-term recall (one week later).
