The impact of inner talk on critical thinking

Inner talk, or the self-referential inner narrative, is a normal part of human experience, but it can also be a barrier to critical thinking. In order to overcome this barrier, it is important to observe and analyze our inner talk. One common critical thinking barrier is the use of personal anecdotes or fallacies as evidence for the truth of the world. Another barrier is being in a rush, which impairs our ability to think critically and leads to mistakes. By becoming aware of these barriers and employing techniques like the WRAP method and enhancing scientific literacy, we can improve our critical thinking skills and make better decisions in our lives.
