People without an inner voice have poorer verbal memory
humanities.ku.dk
The vast majority of people have an ongoing conversation with themselves, an inner voice, that plays an important role in their daily lives. But between 5-10 per cent of the population do not have the same experience of an inner voice, and they find it more difficult to perform certain verbal memory tasks, new research shows.

    For me, my inner voice is muted when I am focused on something, like working on a task or playing a video game.

    The second I stop focusing, the inner voice starts.

    If I do nothing, it’s usually a song that is stuck in my head.

    As for other senses, for me, it is the same as focusing on a task. When my senses are activated, the inner voice stops.

    If I am reading something and I know thr voice of the person that wrote that, I automatically read in their voice and it is extremely hard to read in my voice.

      Does you inner monologue have a voice? Mine is just… Voiceless? Like, pure translation. I never think in “My Voice”.

        My inner monologue has my voice, like I hear myself talk.
