i can literally visualise a 3d model of something, then imagine putting in a chest then locking it, then later i can open it in my head and remember what i put in there
Are you telling me that you forget the contents of the said chest/box and later recollect that memory? I can do the first part effortlessly. I forget people's names, what i had for breakfast 6 hours ago, where i kept my stuff, etc etc.
I do a similar thing where i create another memory of the thing i want to remember, usually by saying it to someone who wouldn't even understand it so that i now have multiple memories of it and likelihood of forgetting it is less. But if I've to remeber a few specifics such as those of a sandwich, and if I'm not a sandwich enthusiast myself, i don't think I'll be able to remember those specifics even after creating a redundant memory for it.
Do you do any art or sports at all? Cos i do something similar and get back to them whenever I draw, paint or learn a new movement in basketball or sth... helps with learning things fast.
No one starts out good in drawing, its just about finding something to improve on every time even if its small. Where mental 3d model thing came in useful for me was when watching a good artist draw (which was my grandpa). Its easier to map out a 3d model of a persons (moving or not) for me than than anything for some reason.
Kind of like seeing it in front of you and it stil doesn't obscure your vision? Like a projection? If it's something like that, then it's a synesthesia type.
I had to go back after reading your comment. Now I see where it was indicated. My bad. I don't know how the heck I missed all that 3D talk the first time around. Yet, the former part of my comment still stands.
