Interesting. I do the same but would never refer to this as thinking. Probably something more like "visualizing" or "feeling".


It works for coding or system architecture and things like that, as well. For you, when you start thinking, a narrative voice appears? Is it debating yourself?


No, I have plenty of non-linguistic mental processes, I just tend to define thoughts as linguistic to distinguish them from the other mental processes.
