Understanding the Inner Voice

The inner voice, defined as our ability to silently reflect on our lives using language, is a common feature of human cognition. Research shows that people rely on this inner voice, although its nature and function can vary among individuals. While some engage in inner monologues or poetic verses, others experience inner dialogues. The verbal inner voice can range from rapid sound bites to elaborate thoughts, demonstrating its flexibility and complexity.
