Deaf People think via their inner voice, some of them think in American Sign Language. Some others think in the vocal language they learned.
Hearing-impaired (also referred to as deaf) people think in terms of their “inner voice”. Some of them think in ASL (American Sign Language), while others think in the vocal language they learned, with their brains coming up with how the vocal language sounds. Additionally, their thinking process is a little different from hearing people. When they think, they’re seeing themselves signing from first person point of view or third person point of view. When they imagine a hearing person speaking, they imagine him/her actually signing instead of speaking because they can understand him/her that way. Because there aren’t signs for every word in ASL, sometimes when deaf people want to think of a word that doesn’t have a sign, they finger-spell it. It’s like imagining letters in hand shapes. Finger-spelling occurs more frequently if a deaf person is reading words instead of signing them.
these factors may participate in the problem , they represent complementary elements , so in order to achieve a better result they have to collaborate their efforts.
sign languagge is the language of deef people and its the means of communication for them and they try to improve and to simplify it to become easier for other people
Deaf people use APL to think in, this acronym is referred to American Sign Language
SPEAKING ANY LANGUAGES IS MORE EASY TO WRITE IT
I'm with Nadia on this one ... the deaf think like everyone else, they just don't have access to the same communication faculties, so their languages, i.e., sign languages, make use of the faculties that are available. Unsurprisingly, studies have shown that sign languages more-or-less conform to what we would expect from any language.
