What goes through a def persons head when they think about things?

I realize this sounds a bit redundant at first but let me explain. When I think about things I hear the words on my head. If I have to pick my kids up from school, I hear those words in my head. When I read, I know what the words sound like so I am playing them out to myself. So if you’ve never known the sound of the words what goes through your head? I assume you are simply picturing what you need to do. But when you read what’s going on in your head?

Answer #1

Probably the same things that go through our heads. I doubt it’s any different. But, I really don’t know for sure.

Answer #2

I cant really say as I am not deaf, but I do know that deaf people have other parts of their brain which are more developed, largly from reading braille, so maybe they would think in a more tactile way, like the way the words feel to them, or simply in pictures the way many non-deaf people do.

Answer #3

Well I am not deaf and I think in pictures. That is why I remember a face, but not the persons name and also not what they said, but rather their facial expression. I would assume that deaf people think more or less along the same route or at least in their language so to speak (which is their interpretation of the world). Also I don’t think it’s a stupid question.

Answer #4

They probably have a higher attentions span. So they might focus on many things at once. I think that they have better concentration skills, as they are not interrupted by noise. I believe they don’t multitask so they stay on one subject the whole time, probably without getting lost in a book. (Unlike some of us, who have to read a whole page/sentence over just cause we didn’t understand it)

Answer #5

I knew I spelt deaf wrong… I have thought about this quite a bit and I have to think Their mind works in all pictures and visual. I can’t imagine what it must be like to never know what sound each letter represents. obviously it doesn’t bother them as they have never known anything else.

Answer #6

The possible sond of things, they imagine how something would sound, so they have an idea of it and stuff like that.

Answer #7

The same exact way things go through our mind. They obviously can’t hear when people voice their opinion, and can’t hear anything at all. But I’m sure they can hear inside of their head, and think regularly just as anyone else. There is nothing different, besides their hearing abilities.

Answer #8

Actually it is completely different. If you have never heard a sound you can not still hear in your head. Obviously deaf people are no less intelligent than hearing people so it interests me to know how it is thought out in their head.
