Came here just to comment this, but yes, memory palaces don't really work for people with aphantasia


Several memory champions have aphantasia


didn't know that! do you know if they use memory palaces? can you share info about 'em?


Dr. Lynne Kelley the author of The Memory Code and Memory Craft has it. She uses memory palaces. With aphantasia you still have a hippocampus so thinking about the concept of space to encode info works just the same. :)
