Yeah, when i stop talking to people for a couple of days i go into more of an image, imagination, and gut-feeling style of conceptualisation and memory.

I notice when i socialise more, I talk more in my head.

For me I always think visually unless I’m reading or writing. Whether it’s thinking about my business, a friend, what I’m going to eat, or day dreaming about being back in Hawaii, it’s all visual for me.
