Thought prompted by reading about musical anhedonia/colorblindness/aphantasia/anosmia/no-internal-monologues... At this point I expect people with no long-term memory: "What do you mean, you 'see' memories? Isn't 'remembering' when a voice describes it or tells you what to do?"
One surreal example from https://www.reddit.com/r/self/comments/3yrw2i/i_never_thought_with_language_until_now_this_is/ … - do most kids... not think with language at all?pic.twitter.com/9MAWaPZABr
I suspect lots of thought starts/happens without words, but as soon as we give the slightest consideration to communicating those thoughts, they get serialized/entangled with words - making it especially hard to discuss wordless thoughts
internal conscious/thinking/remembering experience varies a lot, as with aphantasia, & also this Quora Q I once answered where the asker (if you look at details in comment) had as premise that everyone only has audiovisual, not touch/taste/smell, memories!https://www.quora.com/How-come-our-brain-can-interpret-ideas-and-memories-as-audio-and-visual-but-not-as-odor-taste-or-touch …
Narrating one's own thoughts is an active effort, and fitting thoughts to the proper words requires some knowledge of grammar and lexicon, so i would expect it to be a skill that improves over time
Now I am trying to think of when I had my first “thought with language”. And how many people around me still don’t as adults?
I distinctly remember thinking to myself, "I should think in words more!" at around age 11. Obviously I could do so before, but there was this stark contrast between how quiet my mind was versus how "loud" and busy it is now.
