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.

    I wonder if it’s a spectrum. I am probably the same as you, but I am surprised when others mentioned about their inner monologue being constant-- many of which are negative-- and how to “turn it off” when it becomes too toxic. I have never really gotten negative inner monologues.

    Nonetheless, the post made me think that this may explain why I am pretty forgetful. I don’t speak to myself to remember something in inner monologue/first person.
