Aphantasia nĩ kĩ?

Aphantasia nĩ ũtahota kuona cithunzi na meciiria. Andũ arĩa marĩ na aphantasia no maciirie apple na mamũmenye ũrĩa ũonekaga, no matikũũona rĩrĩa maciĩrĩra. Rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩambĩrĩirie gwĩtwa ũguo mwaka wa 2015 [1]. Kũrora andũ bakũrũ ta 1,000, ta mũndũ 1 wa andũ 25 nĩarĩrĩtie atĩ nĩarĩ na kuona na meciiria kũnini mũno kana gũtirĩ [2]. Ti ũrwaru.

Ũmenyo wa haraka

  • Kĩrĩa kĩgerio gĩkĩ kĩgeraga: ũrĩa ũrĩrĩtie ũrĩa cithunzi cia meciiria ciĩonekana wega, kuuma 1 (gũtirĩ githunzi) nginya 5 (kĩrĩ o ta kũrora na maitho), hamwe na kĩĩrĩkanĩro kĩmwe kĩa mũgambo, kũnunĩra, gũtaama na kũhũtha.
  • Ti VVIQ: mbũria ya utafiti ĩrĩa mĩĩrĩrĩ mingi ĩtũmĩraga nĩ Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) [3]. Kĩgerio gĩkĩ gĩtũmĩraga macookio maitũ mwene, nĩ ũndũ ũcio namba ciakĩ ti cia kũgeranĩrĩria na score cia VVIQ ta cia mũigana ũmwe.
  • Nĩ andũ angĩ atĩa: ta 3.9% ya andũ bakũrũ nĩmarĩrĩtie kuona na meciiria kũnini mũno kana gũtirĩ, na ta 0.8% marĩrĩtie atĩ gũtirĩ gũothe, kũringana na VVIQ [2].
  • Mũthia ũngĩ: ta 6% marĩrĩtie atĩ kuona kwao na meciiria nĩ kũrĩ wega mũno, na rĩngĩ gwĩtwa hyperphantasia; ta 90% marĩ gatagatĩ [8].
  • Ti kũmenya ũrwaru: aphantasia nĩ ũrĩa mũndũ aigua na kuona, ti ũrwaru, na mbũria nini ĩtingĩĩhota kũmenya na kũrũgamĩrĩra atĩ nĩ ũrĩ nayo.

Gũtirĩ macookio mega kana mahũthĩrĩre, na gũtirĩ gũtara ihinda.

Ũrĩa wa gũtaũra macookio maku

  • Gũtirĩ cithunzi o na kĩmwe: wacagũrĩte "Gũtirĩ kĩndũ" kwa kĩgerio gĩothe gĩa cithunzi. ũguo nĩguo andũ arĩa marĩ na aphantasia maĩtaũraga [1].

  • Kũrĩ gatagatĩ: cithunzi cia mũigana kana cia kũoneka wega. Ta andũ 9 a andũ 10 nĩmacokia ũguo kũringana na VVIQ [8].
  • Cithunzi njega mũno (mũigana wa 4.7 kana wa kũgĩra ũcio): indo ciothe kana nyingĩ nĩciaoneka o ta kũrora na maitho. Mĩĩrĩ ĩĩtaaga ũũ hyperphantasia [4] [8].

Kĩrĩa utafiti ũmenyete

  • Nĩ kĩmenyekire tene mũno. Mwaka wa 1880, Francis Galton nĩabũĩrĩtie andũ atĩ matae meciiria mezaa macio ma irio, na amwe makiuga atĩ matikuona kĩndũ o na kĩmwe [5].

How this test works

This check asks how vivid your mind's eye is. You picture 10 everyday scenes, such as a friend's face or a sunset, and rate each one from 1 (nothing) to 5 (as clear as the real thing). Then you rate one sound, one smell, one taste and one touch. Your score is the average of the 10 picture ratings. There are no right answers and no clock. Psychologists have asked people to rate their mental pictures since Francis Galton did so in 1880.
