People with aphantasia exhibit the inability to voluntarily generate or form mental imagery in their minds. Since term “aphantasia” was proposed describe this, it has gained increasing attention from psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and clinicians. Previous studies have mainly focused on definition, prevalence, measurement of aphantasia, its impacts individuals’ cognitive emotional processing, theoretical frameworks synthesizing existing findings, which contributed greatly our understanding aphantasia. However, there are still some debates regarding conclusions derived research theories that were constructed various sources evidence. Building upon endeavors, this systematic review emphasizes future is much needed refine definition diagnosis strengthen empirical investigations at behavioral neural levels, and, more importantly, develop update theories. These multiple lines efforts could lead a deeper further guide researchers directions.
