  • Lack of inner speech experience is called anendophasia.
  • Individuals with low levels of internal speech perform worse with verbal working memory and image-based rhyming judgments.
  • Differences in internal speech do not affect the efficiency of task switching.
  • Research on anendophasia adds to the diversity of phenomenal human experience.
