  I have aphantasia.

  How does reading and watching it in your mind’s eye change anything from just watching it on a screen?

  I prefer audio books because it allows me to critically think better during because I can listen and think at same time, but reading words takes more brain power.

  source

  • RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I guess it’s a matter of preference, because in my mind there’s no way listening takes less brainpower than reading.

    source

    • basxto@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s probably very different from person to person, since its different how well they can parse heard words and seen words. For me hearing is way faster, but I’m also more likely to confuse sounds than characters.

      I’d equate it to baking a loaf of bread from a recipe.

      If I had the recipe read to me while I was make it I could focus 100% of my attention on making the bread.

      If I had to watch a video I would have to watch, pause, then complete the step. If I was reading the recipe I would have to read a step and then do it. My attention would become broken in ways.

      If I knew how to make the loaf I could listen to an audiobook while making it. There’s no way I could read a book while making it.

      source
  • naught101@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I don’t think this is very related to phantasia… With a book you can stop and think about things (imaginatively or critically). With video your entire attention is captured and it’s quite difficult to step away from the narrative being presented. In my experience audio is somewhere in between, and I’m able to zone out on my own tangent sometimes (but this is annoying, because I miss things)

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You could pause a movie or show

      I can zone out on my own tangents with video or audio and it relates to the video or audio.

      I will zone out reading and it will be about completely different things and I’ll realize that I really haven’t gotten anything I just read.

      I have to focus on reading, understanding, critically thinking

      With video and audio, it’s just understanding and critically thinking. I don’t have to focus on telling my brain the information.

  • Ilixtze@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    We usually think in linguistic concepts even when reading a book, one of the most difficult things to do with a student when they are learning drawing is teaching them to really see instead of thinking of linguistic traits. I have aphantasia and it is difficult for me to recall visual traits so instead i focus on visual recipes, or construction while drawing. It is difficult for me to recall faces for example but if i reduce a face to geometric shapes and proportions and do a lot of trial and error so i can approximate a face I’ve seen.

    So when reading is not that I am seeing things, but i am making a conceptual map, an abstraction. Kinda like how dreams are like stories we tell ourselves to the point they might seem like intangible images. Sometimes I feel my brain relate stuff i read to things i’ve already seen, or builds some conceptual bridge between known concepts to unknown ones.

    But reading is also a practice on itself different than hearing. Language has aesthetics, rhythm character. I feel i learn more about the aesthetic beauty of language by reading it on the page than hearing it on an audio book because it forces me to build that bridge between my horizon of understanding and the authors’.

    This is especially true for authors that have an entirely different background than me because to understand them i need to read slower and research. Something that audio books doesn’t allow with it’s predisposed presentation.

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      If I wanted to get the best experience it would be following along in a book with audio.

      I say every word basically with my inner voice while reading, so having someone else do that for me is brain power I do not have to use.

      I took a lot of art classes, I can draw with a reference photo.

      It is difficult for me to recall faces for example but if i reduce a face to geometric shapes and proportions and do a lot of trial and error so i can approximate a face I’ve seen.

      Same I cannot see a person’s face in my mind but I can think of their face in proportions. I would have to do a ton of sketches to get basically sketch a reference photo, then I could work on making it better from there.

    aphantasia - the inability to voluntarily create mental images in your mind’s eye.

    I guess this extends to reading? I wasn’t sure if that would count as “voluntarily” since it just seems to happen for me.

    I read to my kids every night and if there is a movie of the book we’re reading, I will finish the book with them before we watch the movie. In this way, the images they have in their minds as we read are theirs. Sometimes interesting things happen in your mind when it needs to create its own images and I think this is a personal part of reading and one reason why reading is not just consumption but also a creative act unto itself.

    Once Hollywood has made Jennifer Lawrence the protagonist, that’s all you’ll be able to see ever again.

    However none of this would apply in your case so read or watch or listen however works best for you. Personally I find audiobooks a terrible way to read. My mind wanders instead of focusing more on the text. I realize I’ve been thinking about someone else for several minutes, and ultimately don’t retain as much from the book in the end. It’s like “having the tv on in the background” while doing household chores. That’s fine for stuff I don’t really care about, if I just want to relax and divert my mind. But if I really want to enjoy the book and get everything I can from it, I need to read it.

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yes it extends to reading.

      I do not have an image in my head of what Harry Potter is supposed to look like after reading the book. As long as the character in the movie didn’t have completely wrong details I wouldn’t think anything of it.

      I’m the opposite. I will read a paragraph and then realize that I was thinking about something else and even though I read the paragraph I didn’t absorb any of the knowledge.

      I couldn’t imagine reading outloud and thinking about what I need to do for work tomorrow. I have to 100% focus on reading words.

    I think it must be a spectrum or something because I’m fully capable of mentally picturing things in detail if I want to, but it’s a thing I have to actually /do/. It doesn’t just happen automatically when I’m reading, I have to make a deliberate decision to picture the scene.

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Do you get images popping into your head at random times ever?

      From my understanding imagers have a lot of that going on from PTSD to counting sheep because they need other images to stop.

      I’m fully capable of mentally picturing things in detail if I want to

      I would say this is true for me with aphantasia. My sister is about to turn 40 and I just convinced her the other day that she has aphantasia. She’s an avid reader and would swear that she could picture things in her mind while reading

      My mental “picture” isn’t an image but a mental collection of details that I know exists because I built it in my mind.

      I know phantasia is a spectrum, aphantasia to hyperphantasia, in detail. But I don’t know much about how often imagers use their images, always assumed the better you are at, more hyperphantasic, the more you used it.

  • MrOtingocni@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    That’s wild, I am the complete opposite.

    When I read my mind takes what I am reading and provides a rich imaginatory backdrop replete with emotional undertones that unfolds and plays out as the words become concepts and the concepts link together in context to the plot/scenario/etc.

    Except with math heavy subjects, I can usually get the gist of any topic by reading about it.

    Conversely, I can barely follow audio instructions or explanations at all. Having something explained by a friend is fine, lots of back and forth until it clicks. Casual listening, like a fiction book, is fine.

    Anything else and I get a little lost halfway through, usually trying to remember the first thing that was said.

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You do sound like the opposite. Do you have hyperphantasia?

      I’d definitely take just audio over reading any day.

      Reading just requires me to play the audio in my inner voice. If someone else read and said it then it’s less brain power for me.

    There’s really no difference in the medium or different methods of transmission. It’s possible to imagine the same.

    source

    • Sludgeyy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’d say that my imagination isn’t effected. It just doesn’t have mind’s eye images to go along with them.

      Best way I can describe it is that it’s like a computer without a screen. The computer knows what the image looks like and it could put it up on a screen if one was attached but it doesn’t have the screen to do so.

      I get the “sense” of an image. Like it’s almost there and I could tell you all the details of the image I am trying to imagine.

      If you have any questions feel free to ask anything, I enjoy discussing it

    I do too, and I didn’t know it was different for others until I was an adult. When I was young they used to guilt trip me for wasting my intelligence because I hated books.

    I grew up inspired by creative world building shown in movies like LOTR and in games. I read more than most people, but it’s never books.

    I hate how so many people fail to consider others might not have the same perspective or needs.

      Same I didn’t know until I was an adult. My math scores as a child were high but I hated reading and I wasn’t the best at it so I was put in special reading classes.

      Do you have the consciously read every word? I don’t understand how people can just look at a paragraph and just soak up the knowledge without going through all the individual words.

      I get as much enjoyment from technical books that I read for career and personal reasons as I do fiction, so I usually read non fiction as it at least has a purpose for me. I wonder how much is related to my not being able to visualize anything.

  this is a nuanced topic. as much as this meme is trying to be intelligent, it’s just as dumb as what it’s critiquing.

  you learn to think from books, but film and TV exercises that thinking. in film you’ll find symbolism and metaphor and meaning, intentional or not.

  being able to extract that is intelligence, not raw facts. americans love to boast about how educated they are and about the virtues of education, but why are there millions of users of goodreads and letterboxd and few can write a coherent paragraph about a book they read or a film they watched?

  it’s because of this type of braindead thinking–it’s all about imagination!!! imagination is great, but it’s about thinking about things differently.

  I disagree, books can never have as colorful worlds in my head as movies an comics. Unless I watched the movie before I read the book. Book is just slower information transfer than audiovisual, but it’s not limited to what can be visualized. In the end both is passive consumption unlike something active like videogames
