Do you think in complete sentences? Or in concepts?

Quote:

As a deaf person with hearing aids, I can tell you I'm not thinking in my own voice, just in a 'neutral' voice... Man, that would be annoying as hell if you're male and got a very high-pitched voice, both when talking and when thinking... :lol:
It's hard to describe, just as it is hard to describe to a blind person what color the vanilla ice cream has...

I philosophized with a buddy of mine before about how people that don't know words think (humanity started out as that at some point). But keep in mind that when you're thinking, you're using the words to represent a concept (which can describe an object or an action). If a deaf&mute person doesn't think with a voice, I'm pretty sure they're not imagining text, I'd think they'd think in concepts or something like that.

I'm trying to find the answer I've had to that question from someone who was born profoundly deaf and doesn't know what speech sounds like (unlike my friend above who speaks but cannot hear)

EDIT: Here we go:

Quote:

As far as inner voice goes, when you read to yourself you will read faster.
However, I think you are confusing thought with speech. You don't have to know how to talk to be able to think. Again, I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing the ability to read to yourself has more to do with your brain than vocal activity.

Quote:

I not fast reader, no inner voice either. Stone deaf, from birth. Aaverage speed read I think.

Quote:

I see images, too, when I read. But sometimes it is accompanied by this inner voice. It doesn't even have to be an understandable voice. It usually is just mumbling to me. But if you were trained to read Hooked on Phonics style, then you will probably have a "reading voice." Probably only people who hear a little bit would have this.

Sometimes my mind will put in sounds when I'm lipreading someone on TV and I don't hear them. I think it's kind of the same phenomenon. If I read Closed Captions, same thing.

I see pictures and images with this.

Kinda weird, I know. lol

I think everyone is different in that respect. I only tend to think in complete sentences when I am carefully working something out, such as writing this sentence, or mulling over a problem.

Mrs Metal and I agreed that we don't read in any particular voice either - if you were to ask us what a particular character in a book would sound like we could tell you, but we don't read their dialogue in their voice. For this reason I find books where they go out of their way to convey the character's accent in text very jarring, with the exception of the Geordie characters in Viz.

Yes. I was thinking more along the lines of the manservant in Scarlet Traces.

when talking or reading in foreignese I have to think in that language. To the extent that i find it bastard hard to translate anything. I imagine its something similar to that.

Because someone put a dog jaw on it, obviously.

I preferred his beard's four-track demos, in all honesty.
