Do we think with language or pictures?

I'm a very visual thinker. I know some people can't visualize things in their mind and that seems weird to me, I don't know how those people function. If I was like that, I reckon I'd be screwed.
What about you?

I am not sure. I think am more of a language thinker in the sense that I tend to think in sentences/convo with myself the majority of the time. But of course I think in images when it comes to memories.

However I think it's awesome that you think more in visual, I think I would be screwed if that was me! Lol

I think more in pictures. My sister once told me she thinks in words rather than picture

@Curiousguy833: By different you mean?

Well I don't think that everyone thinks the same way, so I find it pretty cool that some people might think in words/ full sentences or the opposite (only images) and am not talking about remembering a memory etc, am talking about analyzing the problem or thoughts when you are in a convo etc.. do you understand what am saying. Maybe I sound crazy I don't know lol

@Curiousguy833: i see. I think in my case, I use both words and 'visuals'. Sometimes words can be superfluous, so one would do better just 'seeing', but words do perhaps have a certain ability of adding clarity or reinforcement to our thoughts, so they may be needed/helpful at times. It's indeed interesting and I don't really know how it actually is, for others, or with complete certainty for myself.

When you think about something.. do you think in language/words or maybe pictures/events?
