They may not answer but what they'll realize is that the "placing" comes consciously after the "thinking of" which does not happen with others.

That is, they have to ascribe a placement rather than describe one in the image their mind conjured up.

How fair is it to ask people to self report whether details existed in their original image before or after a second question? Does the second question not immediately refine the imagined image? Or is that the point, that there’s now a memory of two different apple states?

Edit: This iDevice really wants to capitalise Apple.
