Could you help me understand the sentence?
When a reader has no specific experience or memory from which to draw, imagination can often support visualizing.
In the above sentence, I assume that "which" refers to
"specific experience or memory", but I can't understand "what a reader is trying to 'draw'". What is the object of the verb 'draw'? Is it also "specific experience or memory"? Or in this case, is "draw" an intransitive verb?
One more thing, can I change "from which to draw" to "from which he or she should draw"?
Many thanks in advance.

We draw from our knowledge and experience to make conclusions. (Draw is intransitive.)
This means that our knowledge and experience is a resource that we use in making decisions or drawing conclusions. (Draw is transitive.)
