You don't have to hear to think so I'm gonna take a wild guess and say they think just like a not deaf person thinks.

this is like on the same level as do blind people dream...

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?

a deaf person thinks just like any other person, they just cant hear, a blind person thinks just like any other person they just can't see... come on people use your own heads.

btw slip.. blind people do dream, studies have shown that even congenitaly blind people have dreams in wich they feel, smell, taste, and experience things.

i know they dream lol... i don't debate that... they just woudln't be able to visually dream as we do... or most do atleast...

it would be diffrent (maybe even better... i prefer dreams where i can feel what's going on.... if you catch my drift )


and i am using my head, a baby doesn't come out with visual refrences nor refrences to our language as it would be heard, it's stuff they develope along the way of growing up.... with that being said, if there is no refrence how could it be done in the exact same way as we would? again, no point of refrence...

it's a mind boggling question to me...

wow, thanks for that wonderful input:thumbsup: lol





ghosty... i am using my head.... haha
...it doesn't seem like a stupid question to me.

i think and read in my own voice... for someone that was born deaf, what voice would they hear when they think or read?

if you all are right, deaf people think like everyone else......then why can't they speak right? what does hearing have to do with voice?

you kinda answered your own question

they 'can't speak right' (although i have heard some who you'd never know were deaf....) because they can' thear themselves talk...

well because it's hard for them to heaqr thier own voice, so to put the proper accents and intonations into every syllable that they cant quite hear is considerably difficult. I'm sure though that the internalizing thoughts would take the form of a voice that the person fabricated as an idea of what thier own voice would sound like

intresting idea/theory... i've never actually thought about that.... the brain is wired to precieve and accept sound... just because they had aproblem with their ears doesn't mean that part of the brain was just instantly erased..

o.0 so i suppose that theory would hold ground/merit.
