I will try this at some point, but
Any advice for those of us with little-to-no mental imagery?
Once when I was sad I used a thing which I think I saw on LW, of typing out my thoughts as they occured. It sounds kind of similar to this; any relation? (It helped me to feel better, but I haven't had occasion to use it since; and it hadn't occured to me to do it when not-sad, but maybe I will now that it has occured to me.)
Can you imagine sound better than sight/spatial stuff? How about smell?
I'd say not significantly? If I try to recall music, it just comes out as me mentally onomatopoeia-ing the melody or lyrics. If I try to recall someone speaking, it takes on a poor imitation of their accent, but never their voice - it's just me mentally reciting what they said.
For smell... like with images, I get a weak impression of something, but I can't smell or "smell" anything.
