Luhlolo lwe-aphantasia

Vala emehlo bese ucabanga nge-aphula. Uyalibona yini engcondvweni, noma uyati nje kutsi linjani? Kutihlola kwemizuzu lengu-2 kwekutsi umfanekiso engcondvweni yakho ucace kangakanani. Kumahhala, akudzingeki ubhalise.

Iyini i-aphantasia?

I-aphantasia isho kungabi nemifanekiso engcondvweni. Bantfu labane-aphantasia bangacabanga nge-apula futsi bati kutsi libukeka njani, kodvwa bangaliboni nabalibona ngeliso lengcondvo. Leligama lacalwa nga-2015 [1]. Kuluhlolo lwebantfu labadzala labacishe babe ngu-1,000, cishe 1 ku-25 babika kutsi banemifanekiso lebutsakatsaka kakhulu noma ababonwa nhlobo [2]. Akusiso sifo.

Emaciniso lasheshako

  • Loko lokuhlolwako: kutsi uthi imifanekiso loyicabangako icace kangakanani, kusukela ku-1 (awukho umfanekiso) kuya ku-5 (ucace njengalokubonako), kanye nentfo yinye yemsindvo, yekunuka, yekunambitsa neyekutsintsa.
  • Akusiyo i-VVIQ: luhlolo lwemibuto lolusetjentiswa kakhulu etifundvweni yi-Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) [3]. Loluhlolo lusebentisa imibuto yetfu, ngako-ke tinombolo talo atikwati kucondzaniswa ngco nemiphumela ye-VVIQ.
  • Kuvama kangakanani: ku-VVIQ, cishe u-3.9% webantfu labadzala babika imifanekiso yengcondvo lebutsakatsaka kakhulu noma lengasekho, bese u-0.8% babika kutsi abanayo nhlobo [2].
  • Ngakulolunye luhlangotsi: cishe u-6% bachaza imifanekiso yengcondvo lecace kakhulu, ngezinye tikhatsi lebitwa ngekutsi yi-hyperphantasia; cishe u-90% basemkhatsini [8].
  • Akusiko kuhlolwa kwesifo: i-aphantasia yindlela yekubona tintfo engcondvweni, ayisiso sifo, futsi kute luhlolo lwemibuto lolufishane lolungayicinisekisa.

Indlela lolu luhlolo lolusebenza ngayo

  1. Cabanga. Utawunikwa tintfo letingu-10 lotihlangabetana nato onkhe malanga kutsi uticabange, yinye ngasikhatsi, bese kuba netintfo letingu-4 letimayelana naletinye tinzwa.
  2. Kala. Entfweni ngayinye, khetha kutsi beyicace kangakanani, kusukela ku-"Kute lokubonako" kuye ku-"Kucace njengentfo mbamba". Vala emehlo nangabe kukusita.
  3. Bona umphumela wakho. Umphumela wakho wemifanekiso yengcondvo uyisilinganiso setintfo letimayelana nemifanekiso, kusukela ku-1 kuya ku-5. Imiphumela yaletinye tinzwa iboniswa yodvwa.

Kute timphendvulo letilungile noma sikhatsi lesibekiwe.

Uyifundza njani imiphumela yakho

  • Kute nhlobo imifanekiso: ukhetse "Kute lokubonako" kuyo yonkhe imibuto yemifanekiso. Bantfu labane-aphantasia bavame kutichaza ngalendlela [1].
  • Imifanekiso lebutsakatsaka (silinganiso lesingu-2 noma ngaphasi): imifanekiso leminyenti beyifiphele noma ingekho. Etifundvweni letisebentisa i-VVIQ, timphendvulo letinjengaleti tivame kubalwa kanye ne-aphantasia [2].
  • Kusemkhatsini: imifanekiso icace ngalokulingene kuya ekucaceni. Cishe bantfu labangu-9 kulabangu-10 baphendvula ngalendlela ku-VVIQ [8].
  • Imifanekiso lecace kakhulu (silinganiso lesingu-4.7 noma ngetulu): cishe yonkhe into beyicace njengalokubonako. Etifundvweni loku kubitwa ngekutsi yi-hyperphantasia [4] [8].

Lamacembu alandzela indlela bacwaningi lababeka ngayo timphendvulo te-VVIQ, kodvwa imibuto yetfu yehlukile. Ngako-ke, tsatsa lelicembu njengenchazelo yetimphendvulo takho, hhayi njengesilinganiso.

Lokutfolwe lucwaningo

  • Kwabonwa kadzeni. Nga-1880, Francis Galton wacela bantfu kutsi bacabange ngetafula labo lasekuseni, futsi labanye batsi ababoni lutfo nhlobo [5].
  • Leligama lisha. Nga-2015, licembu lase-Exeter lachaza bantfu labangu-21 lababenemifanekiso yengcondvo lemincane noma labangenayo lase libita lesimo ngekutsi yi-aphantasia [1]. Kusukela lapho, bantfu labacishe babe ngu-2,000 labatibonile kulesimo baphendvule imibuto yalelicembu [4].
  • Kungalinganiswa ngaphandle kwemagama. Ekuhlolweni kwe-binocular rivalry, kucabanga ngesitfombe kucala kushintja loko bantfu labakubonako ngemuva kwaloko kubantfu labanyenti, kodvwa hhayi kubantfu labane-aphantasia [6].
  • Letinye tinzwa tivame kuhambisana nako. Esifundvweni lesikhulu, cishe ihhafu yebantfu labane-aphantasia yatsi ayinayo imifanekiso kunobe nguyiphi inzwa; labanye bebakhona kucabanga ngemisindvo, kunuka, kunambitsa noma kutsintsa [4] [7].
  • Inkumbulo isebenta ngendlela leyehlukile. Bantfu labane-aphantasia bavame kubika inkumbulo lebutsakatsaka kakhulu ngaloko lokwenteka kubo kadzeni nangebuso bebantfu, futsi labanyenti basaphupha babona imifanekiso [4] [7].

Loko loluhlolo lolungakutjela nalolungakutjeli

Loku kutihlola lokufishane lokusekelwe kuloko lokubikako: kukhombisa indlela lochaza ngayo kucabanga kwakho lamuhla, usebentisa emagama akho. Bantfu bayehluka ngekutsi basho kutsini nabatsi "kucacile", ngako-ke bantfu lababili labacabangela ngendlela lefananako bangatfola imiphumela leyehlukene. Loku akuhloli sifo, futsi umphumela lophansi noma lophakeme awusiyo inkinga. Nangabe ufuna kwati kabanti, emaqembu elucwaningo avame kwenta tifundvo temifanekiso yengcondvo longatibandzakanya kuto.

Imibuto levame kubutwa

Ngingati njani kutsi ngine-aphantasia?

Yetama kucabanga ngentfo loyati kahle, njengembuso wemngani noma lisango langaphambili lelikhaya lakho. Nangabe uyati kutsi ibukeka njani kodvwa ungaboni lutfo engcondvweni, kungenteka ube ne-aphantasia. Bacwaningi bavame kusebentisa imibuto ye-VVIQ kuhlola loku [3], futsi labanye baphindze basebentise tekuhlola letingasebentisi emagama [6]. Loluhlolo luniketa umbono wekucala losheshako, hhayi kuhlolwa kwesifo.

I-aphantasia ivame kangakanani?

Enhlolweni leyentiwa kubantfu labadzala labacishe babe ngu-1,000, cishe u-3.9% babika imifanekiso yengcondvo lebutsakatsaka kakhulu noma lengasekho, bese u-0.8% babika kutsi abanayo nhlobo [2]. Letinye tifundvo titfola tinombolo letincane leticishe tifane, kuye ngekutsi babeka muphi umngcele.

I-aphantasia isifo yini?

Cha. I-aphantasia ngumehluko endleleni bantfu labacabanga ngayo engcondvweni, akusiso sifo. Bantfu labanyenti labane-aphantasia kusukela ekutalweni baphila imphilo levamile, futsi labanyenti bayeva sebadzala kutsi labanye bantfu bayibona mbamba imifanekiso engcondvweni [1] [4]. Etimeni letingakavami, imifanekiso yengcondvo ingaphela ngemuva kwekulimala noma kugula kwengcondvo; nangabe indlela locabanga ngayo ishintje ngekushesha, khuluma nadokotela.

Ungaba nayo yini i-aphantasia kuletinye tinzwa?

Yebo. Esifundvweni lesikhulu, cishe ihhafu yebantfu labane-aphantasia yatsi ayikhoni kucabanga ngemisindvo, kunuka, kunambitsa noma kutsintsa, kantsi labanye bebakhona [4]. Kungako loluhlolo lubuta ngetinye tinzwa futsi.

Lolu luhlolo yi-VVIQ yini?

Cha. I-VVIQ yilona luhlolo lwemibuto lolusetjentiswa kakhulu elucwaningweni [3]. Lolu luhlolo luseti yetfu lemifishane yemibuto, lebhalelwe lelikhasi, ngako-ke umphumela walo usekulinganiseni kwalo.

Luhlolo lwe-aphantasia lumahhala yini?

Yebo. Loluhlolo kanye nawo wonkhe umphumela wakho kumahhala: akudzingeki ubhalise, unike i-imeyili noma ukhokhe.

Luhlolo loluhlobene

Bona tonkhe tihlolo tengcondvo letingu-43 temahhala

Ufuna kusebenta ngaloku onkhe malanga? Uhlelo lwe-Helibrain (lusatfolakala ngesiNgisi kuphela) luneluhlelo lwamahhala kanye netinhlelo letikhokhelwako.

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.
