flag Study finds people with aphantasia, who can't visualize images, better at resisting intrusive thoughts.

flag Researchers found that people with aphantasia, a condition where one cannot visualize images in their mind, may be better at resisting intrusive thoughts. flag The study showed that those with vivid visual imaginations often struggled to suppress unwanted mental images. flag In contrast, those with weaker imagery, including aphantasics, were less likely to have involuntary visualizations but were more prone to mind-wandering. flag This indicates that aphantasics might experience daydreams differently, often without visual components, suggesting varied responses to unwanted thoughts.
