I have another one for you:
You know how to laugh or cry because you've seen it at your parrents or friends when you were a child. So you mimmic it. Well a blind child can't see, thus can't mimmic the face expressions but still blind people laugh, cry and have normal emotions. It is passed through the genes. Blind borned people might not imagine objects in full detail like we see them but they still have knowledge and can imagine it in a basic detail. How come they know how a table looks like ? they touch it, picture the object in their mind and based on that object they start picturing other objects, like roofs, TVs, doors etc.

I would guess that they do imagine images. They might not have sight, but their brains work the same, their idea of colours and what people actually look like might be different to ours, but a large part of the human brain is given over to image processing so it seems unlikely that blind people wouldn't use it.

Probably not. And even some people who can see don't think in mental images. I can't "see" anything inside my head at all, I don't see any images whatsoever.

the other senses kick in and the eyes wouldnt know the difference in the same sense the body just retrains its self to make up the loss. it is like if you are born without one finger the others take over for the missing one.

I think they use taste smell, hearing, and touch. They say that if 1 sense is disabled, the others become stronger.

no as there were never any images for their brain to have known.
