Abstract
This preprint presents Noesis Directa, a preliminary cognitive-phenomenological model proposed to describe a specific non-discursive cognitive functioning characterized by the predominance of direct cognitive apprehension in the absence of conscious mediation by mental imagery and inner speech. The work integrates phenomenological description, cognitive science, philosophy of mind and contemporary literature to propose an exploratory theoretical framework for future empirical investigation. Rather than offering definitive conclusions, the model aims to broaden the discussion on cognitive diversity and the relationship between consciousness and thought.
