and to tell you the truth i can't honestly answer either (assuming they were born deaf/blind)

a born blind person would have no idea what things really looked like or any type of visual refrence, and i suppose the same would be for deaf people that were born deaf.... they'd of never heard anything, much less our language...

maybe they just think 'visually' with signing?

i dunno..

and if that holds true, here's the real question... how would a blind deaf person think?

i dunon about yal, but i do think in language... with words... would be kinda hard if you never heard them to have an understanding of what they are or how they're pronounced or any of that.... don't ya think?

my best 'girl' friend... was born deafth... and she cant speak really well... but if you have had speach impetiments... or been around pepole with speach impitiments, you can understand alot of what shes saying... some times its hard... but you can under stand alot of it...(someday i hope to relearn sing language though because her boyfriend is a little bit harder to understand sometimes.... but when im around them, ill just send them text messages.... when i cant understand them, or read their sign language... cause i under stand some signing.... but not all of it...)

dude.........

:stoned:

you dont have to have an inner monologue to be able to think

Example: Somebody throws a ball at your face, do you first think "oh shit im going to get smacked in the face, I should duck"?

It would be very interesting to know what it was like but evidently thinking is a process that doesn't require language

hearing becomes a blind mans primary sense...

all other senses enhanced...

Its actually pretty crazy to think about...

blind people can hear shit that normal people cant
