11. Inner%Voice
(A)$The$words$or$the$language,$as$they$are$written$or$
spoken,$do$not$seem$to$play$any$role$in$my$mechanism$of$
thought.$The$psychical$entities$which$seem$to$serve$as$
elements$in$thought$are$certain$signs$and$more$or$less$
clear$images$which$can$be$“voluntarily”$reproduced$and$
combined.
There$is,$of$course,$a$certain$connection$between$those$
elements$and$relevant$logical$concepts.$It$is$also$clear$that$
the$desire$to$arrive$finally$at$logically$connected$concepts$is$
the$emotional$basis$of$this$rather$vague$play$with$the$
aboveAmentioned$elements.$But$taken$from$a$psychological$
viewpoint,$this$combinatory$play$seems$to$be$the$essential$
feature$in$productive$thought$— before$there$is$any$
connection$with$logical$construction$in$words$or$other$
kinds$of$signs$which$can$be$communicated$to$others.

12. Inner%Voice
(B)$The$above,mentioned$elements$are,$in$my$case,$of$
visual$and$some$of$muscular$type.$Conventional$words$
or$other$signs$have$to$be$sought$for$laboriously$only$in$
a$secondary$stage,$when$the$mentioned$associative$
play$is$sufficiently$established$and$can$be$reproduced$
at$will.

13. Inner%Voice
(C)$According$to$what$has$been$said,$the$play$with$the$
mentioned$elements$is$aimed$to$be$analogous$to$
certain$logical$connections$one$is$searching$for.

14. Inner%Voice
(D)$Visual$and$motor.$In$a$stage$when$words$intervene$
at$all,$they$are,$in$my$case,$purely$auditive,$but$they$
interfere$only$in$a$secondary$stage,$as$already$
mentioned.

15. Inner%Voice
(E)$It$seems$to$me$that$what$you$call$full$consciousness$
is$a$limit$case$which$can$never$be$fully$accomplished.$
This$seems$to$me$connected$with$the$fact$called$the$
narrowness$of$consciousness$(Enge des$Bewusstseins).
Remark:$Professor$Max$Wertheimer$has$tried$to$
investigate$the$distinction$between$mere$associating$or$
combining$of$reproducible$elements$and$between$
understanding$(organisches Begreifen);$I$cannot$judge$
how$far$his$psychological$analysis$catches$the$essential$
point.
