Cognitive Benefits When Talking to Yourself
United States, - Many people would never talk to themselves, at least almost every day or even every hour. When viewed, the purpose of this kind of behavior as irrational. However, a new study says that self-talk can help determine their stride.
Quoting Franklin P. Jones, author of motivational quotes the United States, "One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least a listen yourself."
A new study beginning in 2012, published by the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, psychologists Gary Lupyan of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Daniel Swingley of the University of Pennsylvania conducted a series of experiments to determine whether self-talk can help when someone wants to search for an object.
This research was inspired by the observation that people are often heard muttering to themselves when trying to find something.
In the first experiment, participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and asked to find one of them. In some experiments, the participants saw a label containing the text to find an object or objects. In other trials, the same subjects were asked to search again by allowing them to say the word themselves.
This study found that people who talk to themselves will more quickly find what they were looking for.
In a follow-up experiment, participants performed a virtual shopping task in which they saw photographs of items commonly found in many supermarkets and are asked to find an item as soon as possible.
Participants will be asked to find an apple, or a bottle of ketchup. Here too, the participants talk to themselves about the name of the object sought. For example, say soy sauce when they are looking for will be very helpful, while saying ketchup is currently looking for a deodorant will actually slow down the search.
"When you lose your keys, you may want to mutter 'key lock' to yourself while looking for the key and you will get it," said Gary Lupyan. (sd / MBA)
