I can't speak for others but for me personally it's not usually words per se unless I'm trying to be very specific and sure of the thought (process it slower?) and if I said that before, I may have oversimplified it a bit... It's usually more of a line of thought - ideas and concepts. * I DO have visual thought too, but it seems to come and go, it's just usually not very clear or consistent so I tend to not put effort into it. Maybe it's there more than I realize and I just don't pay attention?

I'm working on that though since I realize a lot of other skills can be improved with visualization. Just in the past two days I've been spending a good deal of time trying to visualize specific objects as they are or modify them on the fly and I can tell a bit of difference already. Its not perfect of course but it also could be that I have unrealistic expectations of just how detailed an open-eye visualization can or should be.
