From Erik Foxcroft, London, UK
I found the article on mental imagery training very interesting. As described, I don’t have very good mental imagery, but my spatial imagery is better than many people who do. I can also imagine myself moving my limbs and body, which may be related, but presumably also involves proprioception, and is extremely useful for learning things like tai chi.
I am also aware that some people don’t have an internal monologue, whereas I do, and I can imagine sounds fairly easily. I also have a mental soundtrack, so when my mind isn’t actively engaged in something, it plays music, which most people I have told find surprising. I can’t imagine smells or tastes, and I would be interested to find out if other people have these abilities, or the equivalent in any of the senses beyond the five basic “traditional” ones.
