The inner voice allows individuals to silently use language to reflect on their lives, the world, or their imagination. It is part of the verbal working memory system found in all healthy human brains. While everyone has an inner voice, its usage varies widely among individuals. People can think verbally, in images, or in a more abstract sense of knowing. The verbal inner voice can manifest in different forms, such as full sentences, poetic verse, inner monologues, or even inner dialogues. Thoughts can occur in sound bites or in a more organized manner, highlighting the flexibility and variability of the inner voice.
