Unsymbolized thinking--the experience of an explicit, differentiated thought that does not include the experience of words, images, or any other symbols--is a frequently occurring yet little known phenomenon. Unsymbolized thinking is a distinct phenomenon, not merely, for example, an incompletely formed inner speech or a vague image, and is one of the five most common features of inner experience (the other four: inner speech, inner seeing, feelings, and sensory awareness). Despite its high frequency, many people, including many professional students of consciousness, believe that such an experience is impossible. However, because the existence of unsymbolized thinking indicates that much experienced thinking takes place without any experience of words or other symbols, acknowledging the existence of unsymbolized thinking may have substantial theoretical import.
非符号化思维——一种明确的、有区别的思维体验，其中不包括词语、图像或任何其他符号的体验——是一种经常出现但鲜为人知的现象。非符号化思维是一种独特的现象，例如，它不仅仅是一种未完全形成的内心言语或模糊的图像，而且是内心体验的五个最常见特征之一（其他四个特征是：内心言语、内心视觉、感觉和感官意识）。尽管非符号化思维出现频率很高，但许多人，包括许多研究意识的专业学者，都认为这种体验是不可能的。然而，由于非符号化思维的存在表明许多思维体验是在没有任何词语或其他符号体验的情况下发生的，承认非符号化思维的存在可能具有重大的理论意义。
