I wonder if visualizing when reading has anything to do with reading speed? When I read fast, I do not visualize. But when I slow down (usually because I am really enjoying a book), the images come without conscious effort on my part. It only happens when I am really enjoying a book and slow down on purpose to savor it. There is another thread about purposely slowing down one's reading, which got me to pay attention to my own reading styles. Anyway, I usually read quite fast, and I don't visualize. But when I purposely slow down, I do visualize.
