Lanuageless thinking.

Please explain whether it is possible to think without using language.
If you believe it is possible, can you please describe how a person might enact “languageless” thinking.
If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as the problems with languageless thinking.

Thank you so much to anyone that can help.

If thoughts are the product of activity in our brain, we think without language every day. Language is very helpful to think through a problem and absolutely necessary to communicate with others. Inside our minds though, we can think with images, think subconsciously and react by impulse.

When you remember a scene you saw on vacation last summer, you don't describe it in a language unless explaining what you saw to someone else. The picture is there in your mind as one complete graphic. When you are eating dinner, you don't say to yourself, "take another bite" over and over. If a mosquito lands on your arm, you don't say, "swat it," you just do it as a reaction.

Language helps us organize our thoughts and express them to others but our primal instincts work just fine without it.

It is definately possibele. I catch myself doing it all the time. That is part of how the brain is able to function quickly and efficiently. If we had to take each though word for word and think it all of the way out, it would take to long. Someone can think a 20 word though in a fraction of a second whereas, if you had to think it all of the way out, it would take a few seconds.
