Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “Inner speech in adulthood has largely been studied as a cognitive tool supporting memory and other complex cognitive processes (see Sokolov, 1975, for an early review).”
Error monitoring in speech production: a computational test of the perceptual loop theory. (2001, background): “’’ The representation being monitored would be ‘‘inner speech’’ (Anderson, 1982; Dell & Repka, 1992; Sokolov, 1972; Weber & Castleman, 1970), which Levelt called a ‘‘phonetic plan.”
Belief attribution despite verbal interference (2011, methodology): “Experimental approaches have involved measuring muscular contractions of the articulators while performing reasoning tasks (Sokolov, 1972), studying reasoning in patients with various forms of aphasia (Varley, Siegal, & Want, 2001), and studying healthy participants under conditions in which inner s”

Schizophrenia, consciousness, and the self. (2003, unknown): “These peculiarities include omission of explicit causal and logical connections, a tendency to presuppose rather than assert, and absence of explicit markers of identity of speaker, listener, time, or place (Vygotsky 1962; Sokolov 1972; Sass 1992a, p. 194).”
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): “Inner speech also plays a crucial ole in future situation planning, in thinking [9] and in consciousess, self-awareness and self-regulation (see [4,10,11]).”
The Illusion of Conscious Will (2018, background): “Someone persevering on the muscle explanation here could reply that thoughts can involve unconscious movement of the vocal muscles, which in fact is sometimes true (Sokolov 1972; Zivin 1979).”
Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences Self-reported Frequency, Content, and Functions of Inner Speech (unknown): “Despite decades of empirical work on normal inner speech (e.g., Sokolov, 1972) and private speech in children (e.g., Winsler, 2009), as well as disturbed subvocal speech in brain-damaged patients (Levine, Calvanio, & Popovics, 1982), little is known about naturally occurring self-talk as reported…”
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): “It can also shape and support intrapersonal thinking processes in various ways (Carruthers, 2002; Gentner & Goldin-Meadow, 2003; Sokolov, 1972; Vygotsky, 1934/1986).”
Inner speech is used to mediate short-term memory, but not planning, among intellectually high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder (2012, background): “In a reanalysis of Whitehouse et al.’s (2006) data, Lidstone, Fernyhough, Meins, and Whitehouse (2010) found that 60% (n 1⁄4 12/20) of the ASD sample was substantially negatively affected by articulatory suppression, indicating that the majority of the group were employing inner speech to mediate th”
Possible links between self-awareness and inner speech: Theoretical background, underlying mechanisms, and empirical evidence (2004, background): “…in verbal self-guidance and self-regulation (e.g., Harris, 1990), problem-solving (e.g., Roberts, 1979), planning (Meacham, 1979), and memory (Sokolov, 1972); some psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression would be mediated by dysfunctional self-talk (e.g., Beazley et al., 2001).”
