Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “For example, Emerson and Miyake (2003) compared switching performance across a range of experiments using articulatory suppression and a foot-tapping control.”
Verbal mediation of cognition in children with specific language impairment (2012, background): “Articulatory suppression and foot tapping have been shown to exert equal general dual task demands (Emerson & Miyake, 2003), suggesting the only important difference is that articulatory suppression prevents the use of self-directed speech.”
Design for a working memory. (2009, background): “Declarative representations of instructions can be instrumental in remembering what to do in which situation (Emerson & Miyake, 2003; but see Bryck & Mayr, 2005), especially early in practice, but I assume that immediate control of (cognitive) action lies with procedural representations, and a…”
The roles of private speech and inner speech in planning during middle childhood: evidence from a dual task paradigm. (2010, background): “They show that articulatory suppression impairs performance to a greater extent than does foot-tapping (e.g., Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Liefooghe, Vandierendonck, Muyllaert, Verbruggen, & Vanneste, 2005; Saeki, Saito, & Kawaguchi, 2006), suggesting that task-switching relies on self-directed speech.”
Acquisition, representation, and control of action (2009, background): “In adults, verbalization has been demonstrated to reduce the mental costs associated with switching from one task to another (Baddeley, Chincotta, & Adlam, 2001; Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Goschke, 2000; Kray, Eber, & Lindenberger, 2004).”
eview hat is that little voice inside my head ? Inner speech henomenology , its role in cognitive performance , and ts relation to self-monitoring (2014, background): “The role of inner speech in task-switching was further examined by Emerson and Miyake [107].”
Task switching: interplay of reconfiguration and interference control. (2010, positive): “The contribution of verbalization to task switching was confirmed in other studies (Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Liefooghe, Vandierendonck, Muyllaert, Verbruggen, & Vanneste, 2005; Miyake et al., 2004; Saeki & Saito, 2004a, 2004b, 2009; Saeki, Saito, & Kawaguchi, 2006).”
Inner speech as a retrieval aid for task goals: the effects of cue type and articulatory suppression in the random task cuing paradigm. (2004, methodology): “…automatically activate the task goal information, these results support the hypothesis that inner speech serves as a convenient and reliable medium for retrieving and activating the task goal for the forthcoming operation (Emerson & Miyake, 2003), at least among young adults (Kray et al., 2004).”
Making Working Memory Work: A Computational Model of Learning in the Prefrontal Cortex and Basal Ganglia (2006, background): “memory system that can actively maintain a short chunk of phonological (verbal) information (e.g., Baddeley, 1986; Baddeley, Gathercole, & Papagno, 1998; Burgess & Hitch, 1999; Emerson & Miyake, 2003 ).”
Executive functions and achievements in school: Shifting, updating, inhibition, and working memory (2006, neutral): “Alternatively, the disparity could result from limitations associated with the paradigm used for the shifting tasks (see Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Rogers & Monsell, 1995).”
How useful is executive control training? Age differences in near and far transfer of task-switching training. (2009, background): “This effect is particularly pronounced when external task cues are missing and the need for endogenous control is increased (e.g. Emerson & Miyake, 2003).”
Control and interference in task switching--a review. (2010, result): “…are a number of taskswitching studies that further support this claim by showing that task-irrelevant verbalization decreases task-switching performance (e.g., Baddeley, Chincotta, & Adlam, 2001; Bryck & Mayr, 2005; Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Goschke, 2000; Miyake et al., 2004; Saeki & Saito, 2004).”
Language and Executive Functions: The Effect of Articulatory Suppression on Executive Functioning in Children (2012, methodology): “Together with the studies in which the demand on memory was experimentally varied (Chevalier & Blaye, 2009; Emerson & Miyake, 2003; Miyake et al., 2004), it seems that the more memory is needed, the more speech’s contribution to performance is indispensable.”
How Language Programs the Mind (2016, background): “Conversely, interfering with (covert) verbalization impairs the ability to flexibly switch from one task to another (Baddeley, Chincotta, & Adlam, 2001; Emerson & Miyake, 2003), hinting that normal task-switching performance is aided by such self-directed, covert instruction.”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “…past and future thinking and emotional reflection (D’Argembeau et al., 2011; Morin et al., 2011), while in cognitive research, inner speech appears to fulfill a variety of mnemonic and regulatory functions (e.g. Emerson and Miyake, 2003; see Alderson-Day and Fernyhough, 2015a, for a review).”
