i can't picture much of anything. i think it's a problem of detail and memory, actually. for some reason, in my mind, i focus on little details and fail to get a bigger picture. i'm really bad at people. some other stuff i can "construct" in my head, but i'm bad at remember faces and names, and sometimes even people in general. really bad short term memory, i guess.
i think this part of the reason i took up drawing at a very young age. the only way i could concentrate on the whole image of something in my head as to put some of it down so i could come back to it.
i suspect this might also be the reason that photography appeals to me. it produces results that are terribly unlike what goes on in my head.

Re: A similar phenomenon?
Could this shed some light into the linguistic centers of the brain?
possibly. iirc, the written and auditory language centers are not only separate, but on different hemispheres. but i could be wrong.
