In order of my ability to call up the relevant experiences: audio, tactile, scent, visual, faces. I am ok at calling up visual memories but terrible at constucting new ones, and using visual modality is quite costly for me. When I read books I very rarely visualise anything, and when I read comics I usually read the text first and look at the pictures more as an afterthought.
I would say this is quite reflective of how I experience reality too, which makes sense—when you use your imagination you’re just extrapolating from memory, after all.
