Talk to yourself – it's useful

For people who love to talk with them, as a rule, have to hide such activity from others. After all, preaching himself as a person in a public place, such strangeness surely will attribute to problems with the head. However, scientists decided to dispel such prejudice and proved that talk with them not only do not point to the madness, but still useful. It turns out that even the lost item can be found much faster, uttering its name aloud.





The fact that the conversations with them help the child's development, men of science proved a long time ago. Like, when the kids are bringing up small talk during mechanical action, like tying your shoes, it helps them better to remember. Now scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) decided to find out the suitability of this technique for adults.





To do this, they conducted an experiment in which volunteers were shown 20 pictures of various objects (or their printed names). After that, subjects were asked to find one of the pictured things. The results showed that those volunteers who had pronounced the name of the desired object out loud, faster coped with the task.
