I think all of us have associations and our brain creates a picture after reading something like this.
A cat was playing with a white ball of string.
The only thing our brains differ on, is associating what kind of cat it was, how it was playing and how big was the ball of string.

It does not trigger an image. I can certainly create an image, but it would take a conscious effort.
Let's say your image as you read is of a small tabby cat. Later the author provides more description and you learn the cat is a huge polydactyl Maine coon. Isn't that jarring for you? Your specific mental image has to be revised; but since I didn't create one, I think it's easier for me to just keep incorporating the new details.
