We can see
We can until its time to go
Never thought people imagined the literal words, for me it's like imagining the concept in on itself, the words don't play I just understand the principle
10 per cent of the population do not have the same experience of an inner voice at all, meaning their thoughts are almost entirely silent, relying on images or abstract concepts instead
Sounds like you are one of them
No my imagination or abstract thought process aren't limited, and there's no logical "answer" To actually deep abstract thoughts, and the statistic that says 10-20% of people can't think of words within their head is inaccurate
Well, that's what the research says, about 10% of people are like you
No I don't hear a "voice of words" You don't understand my point, I don't imagine the words subconsciously its not that i can't but what I do instead is materialize the concept or notion within my head, I believe that when you imagine the words you don't focus on your surroundings? As in you put the words into top priority focus?
But how do you materialise a concept without words? To me it sounds almost magical or like your a computer
I do habitually and you probably do too, a concept doesn't have to exist as words.Your brain can represent things in several ways at once for example, imagine a chair without saying the word “chair” in your head. You can still picture its shape,understand that it has a seat and legs,recognize one when you see it,anticipate how it feels to sit on it,distinguish it from a table,none of that requires an internal sentence saying “this is a chair.”
Yes, I conceptualise objects aswell and can visually imagine a chair BUT for complex thought I don't visualise anything- I only hear words because as far as I know talking through it in my head is the only way to rationalise and make sense of something complex
“If A causes B, and B contradicts C, then A can't consistently coexist with C.”
I have no internal monologue and aphantasia while being a diagnosed autist
I have it but you know when you understand something in your brain you just can’t put it into words?
Yeah but that's the problem- what does "intuition " even mean
Damn, your mind must be completely blank
It does sound peaceful ngl
Yeah, but I can only do this with very basic things
I think the key issue is that "intuition" is being used too vaguely.In cognitive science, intuition does not necessarily mean some mysterious, wordless sixth sense. It can mean that your brain reaches a conclusion through processes that aren't available to conscious inspection.For example, someone might look at a complicated situation and immediately think:"Something about this doesn't add up." They might not be able to explain why yet. Their brain may have detected patterns based on previous experience
2nd option i simply just know what im thinking without seeing or hearing it and im a extremely fast reader and can solve simple math by looking at it without thinking
Can you play a song in your head? Can you hear the words?
More machine I'd say, but yeah animals don't have an internal monologue either
Yeah I can play a song in my head and I can hear the words, but if you genuinely ask me randomly in the middle of the street if I can play a certain song in my head, I'll use conceptual representation instead of Auditory imagery
What about when you read a book? Do you hear the characters talking?
