How do "nonverbal" thinkers experience their conscience? (lemm.ee)

Not sure if nonverbal is the right word for it, but those ~~that~~ who think not as if they're speaking in their mind, through some other ways like imagery, feelings, or however.

Often the conscience is described as a little voice in one's mind saying what's right/wrong to do, but for those ~~that~~ who think differently, how's that experienced? Good/bad imagery or feelings instead?

I think the term you're looking for is internal monologue. I can't really answer the question, but as I am bilingual I do sometimes catch myself thinking without having an internal monologue and I can tell I'm thinking but haven't reached a conclusion almost like watching a progress bar while the language part of my brain catches up.
