Right.
It was proven. Just look at Buzan's books about speed reading - people don't know HOW to read. A lot of eye movements, trying to pronounce what is seen, etc. And they cannot remember but a fraction of what was read.
Besides, yes, when I read a novel, I always imagine heroes, places, etc. The level of imagination depends also on how well was the hero/action/place described. If it was poorly done, I lack details and cannot go beyond the information provided.
Oh, yes, the technical books don't go into this category. No imagination whatsoever - but I think it is normal.
