AI Thread Summary
Thinking in words involves an internal monologue where thoughts are expressed verbally, either spoken internally or externally. This process is a natural part of cognitive functioning for many individuals, who may not realize they are engaging in it. People experience varying degrees of dominance between verbal and visual thinking, with some relying more on inner speech while others favor mental imagery. Understanding this difference can enhance self-awareness and communication skills. Exploring resources on the topic can provide further insights into developing this cognitive style.

What does thinking in words mean? And what does it involve, I'm trying to learn how to do this.

I don't think this is the correct forum category for this discussion.

Something basic to read:

I would have thought everyone thinks in words (at least for the most part). You have a natural inner monologue which is words, which is your natural thought pattern. As you sit here typing you are speaking the words either internally or externally. This is thinking in words.

When you think, do you "say" things in your head or do you picture them (in image format)?

Right.
Internal pre-expression can be different in different people.
Whereas we all have internal "speaking" and we all have internal "imagery" there is a "dominance" difference.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
