Linked is the test used to assess aphantasia and visual imagery — VVIQ Test
Use these materials and information from class (e.g., book/lectures) to write a 1.5 double-spaced page summary of what is known about this newly identified condition and how it relates to mental imagery. Write the summary in a way that it could be understood by someone who has not taken a course in cognition.
Finally, please take the VVIQ test above. There are 16 questions that are scored on a 1-5 scale. Sum up the scores to get a final score (e.g., if you score all 1s for the 16 questions your score would be 16; if you score all 5s for all 16 questions your score would be 80). If you want, see if your friends/roommates will take the test too and provide their scores.
