The absence of dream imagery (visual anonoria) tends to be associated with a waking deficit in what?

• A. Visual Imagery
• B. Verbal Memory
• C. Motor Coordination
• D. Olfactory Perception

Answer: (A)

Dream imagery depends on the brain’s ability to generate visual mental images. If someone has a waking difficulty producing visual images, they’re likely to experience fewer or less vivid visual images in dreams as well. The other domains—verbal memory, motor coordination, or olfactory perception—rely on different systems and don’t show the same direct link to dream imagery. So the waking deficit most closely associated with the absence of dream imagery is Visual Imagery.
