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?

Fwiw it's not so much without a language as it is there are some people who think without an internal monologue from what I've read here & there. They can speak and write in a language no problem, but their primary mode of thought is different.

I don't know all the different forms that may take, nor how prevalent it is, only that it's not unheard of.
