    Memory or recall of facts. No.

    Memory or recall of life experiences. Yes.

    From my understanding people can play a “movie” of something like their last birthday party. See who was there, what they were wearing, etc.

    Unless I make note of something I’m not going to remember it. I can “subconsciously” make a note of something and recall it but I cannot re

    But other than a list of facts I have about my last birthday party, I cannot recall or experience it again.

    As for reading. There’s no difference between me reading a biology textbook or a romance novel. I read, soak up knowledge, critically think, and remember.

    I have to subvocalize to read. I’m curious on why you assumed we had to read outloud. I don’t know how other aphants read.

    Edit: Wait, subvocalize is different than inner speech is what I just read. I have to have my inner voice speak the word.
