How does that work?

Answer 1

I am one of the people who cannot.

It’s about 50-50 in the population apparently, some people have strong visual imagery or an inner narrator accompanying their thoughts, others, like me, do not.

My head and thoughts operate silently and without image, though I have an excellent memory and pattern recognition ability.
