>The brain can think about things without you "hearing" it. Then it just mashes everything togheter in a coherent result that you can actively think about.
Sounds like intuition based on experience, where a new situation is compared against your experience, with the brain filling in the gaps.
>When I have to think about something hard I try to do it without words in my mind.
Hard in the sense of difficult to solve and unfamiliar, or in the sense of the level of focus or concentration?
When I have to think about something hard I try to do it without words in my mind. I believe this makes it easier for the brain to subconsciously work on those, without having to "translate" it first.
However I still use "pictures" in my mind. I wonder if it's possible to actively think about something without using things linked to our physical senses (hearing, seeing, touch,..).
