Trans Species Okapi Ok, so in your head imagine an apple.
Now try spinning it.
What did you see?
So earlier I got into a discussion that involved being able to visualize something.
Personally I believe the ability to visualize is mostly genetic, and has nothing to do with I.Q. or Gender, it's just something some people can do, like folding your tongue in half.
Reportedly it can also vary how much you can visualize, like how some people can only visualize still images.
Thought?

I suspect a lot of it is practice. I have heard of people gaining internal monologues after reading out loud for long enough, and I know that people often lose abilities they had as babies that went unused.
I think people just get into habits of thinking when they are younger, and when their habits are weird but functional, they will end up with weird consequences, such as a lack of internal monologue or ability to visualize. Could be some aspect of a person's nature though.

Yeah I agree, I think giving it a blanket statement that some people just don't have inner monologue is silly, and that it's like speaking where you have to keep using it or else it gets worse
