Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “However, there is also evidence for continuing high levels of private speech use well into the elementary school years (Berk & Garvin, 1984; Berk & Potts, 1991) and indeed into adulthood (Duncan & Cheyne, 2001; Duncan & Tarulli, 2009).”
Private speech on an executive task: relations with task difficulty and task performance (2005, background): “As noted in the Introduction, Vygotsky’s claim that private speech ‘goes underground’ during the early school years has received only modest support (e.g.,Berk & Garvin, 1984; Berk & Potts, 1991).”
Individual differences in children's private speech: the role of imaginary companions. (2013, unknown): “Modern research on the developmental progression of children’s private speech (e.g., Berk & Garvin, 1984; Diaz & Berk, 1992; Winsler & Naglieri, 2003) supports Vygotsky’s (1934/1987) contention that this form of self-talk is gradually internalized during early childhood and transformed into inner…”

Private Speech in Illiterate Adults: Cognitive Functions, Task Difficulty, and Literacy (2013, result): “This finding is consistent with the Vygotskian hypothesis of the progressive differentiation of speech functions that has been strongly supported by empirical research conducted with children (Berk and Garvin 1984; Fernyhough and Fradley 2005; Winsler et al. 2006, 2007; Winsler and Naglieri 2003).”
