We don't think in words. We think in pictures.
This we is you and who? Neuro Linguistic Programing makes a distinction between visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes of learning and accessing memories. There are people who use pictures, others talk to themselves, others access feelings.
I can do a little of each but oddly and seemingly less usefully kinesthetics are my strongest recall. I can see a somewhat detailed but not sharp image of say an orange. I more vividly can feel the weight of it in my hand, the smooth but bumpy texture of the skin and how that skin feels under my nails as I peel it and the soft texture of the white inner peel of the orange, etc. Now, Schraf may have a vivid recall of flavors and aromas.
I do most of my thinking like I'm doing right now while typing, that is by talking to myself using the English language.

When I wear a watch it's always on my left wrist. I'm like 100% accurate saying "watch hand" or "non watch hand" but maybe only a little better than 50% if trying for "left" or "right". I don't know why other than the watch is a visual memory clue but left and right aren't.
