Dr Paloma Mari-Beffa - talking to oneself

“Talking out loud actually improves control over a task, above and beyond what is achieved by inner speech. Much of this benefit appears to come from simply hearing oneself, as auditory commands seem to be better controllers of behaviour than written ones." ~Dr Paloma Mari-Beffa (A senior lecturer of psychology at Bangor University based her research on people who talk to themselves while planning and organising their actions may have higher cognitive function than those who don’t.)
