What is it like to NOT think in images? Is it just as simple as when you think, it's just words and descriptions and stuff, or is there no imagery at all?


I don't think in images. I think in words. It's like hearing a conversation in your "mind's ear," like remembering something that somebody said. Sometimes (like when I am studying vocabulary or trying to remember how to spell something), I just see words on a vague, dark background. Sometimes, I will hear a word, and a song with that word in it will pop into my mind.
