Question

when scientist adam zeman encountered a patient who was unable to visualize things, he decided to investigate the condition. the patients eyes worked fine, but whenever he tried to picture a scene in his mind, he came up blank. finding no similar cases in the medical literature, zeman published a paper about his patients mysterious condition. a reporter subsequently wrote an article about it. several people recognized their own condition in the article and then contacted zeman. the condition finally received a name in 2015: aphantasia. many people who suffered from the previously unnamed condition were relieved to find that they were not alone. text 2 people with aphantasia are unable to picture things in their minds eye. if asked to describe the letter g, they dont \see\ the letter. instead, they simply recall facts—for example, g has a curly tail. research on aphantasia is limited, but a paper by scientist adam zeman stimulated more investigation of this rare condition. aphantasiacs often memorize very specific details in order to get around the visualization problem. for example, they might know how many windows their house has, while people without aphantasia usually picture their house and count the windows they see when asked. which sentence best summarizes how the two texts differ? text 2 provides a general description of aphantasia, but text 1 describes how the condition was first identified. the two texts provide conflicting information about the symptoms of aphantasia.

Explanation:

Text 1 focuses on the identification and naming process of aphantasia, while Text 2 provides a general description of the condition, including symptoms and coping mechanisms. No conflicting information exists; they differ in focus (identification vs. general description).

Answer:

Text 2 provides a general description of aphantasia, but Text 1 describes how the condition was first identified.
