People normally see people who talk to themselves as mental patients.<\/p>\n<p>According to a study published in the <em>Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology<\/em>, talking to yourself makes your brain work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder the smartest people on earth talk to themselves. Albert Einstein was a genius and he was also known to talk to himself.<\/p>\n<p>To arrive at this conclusion, researchers showed volunteers 20 pictures of various pictures and asked the volunteers to look for a specific one, such as a banana.<\/p>\n<p>Half of the volunteers were asked to remain silent when searching while the other half were asked to repeatedly say what they were looking for out loud to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that self-directed speech helped people find objects more quickly by about 50 to 100 milliseconds.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that talking out loud to yourself helps spark memory.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also found that talking out loud to yourself helps you only when you know what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Speaking to yourself isn&#8217;t always helpful &#8211; if you don&#8217;t really know what an object looks like, saying its name can have no effect or actually slow you down,&#8221; Gary Lupyan, a cognitive psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison said. &#8220;If, on the other hand, you know that bananas are yellow and have a particular shape, by saying banana, you&#8217;re activating these visual properties in the brain to help you find them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Phil<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People who talk to themselves&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29245"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29246,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29245\/revisions\/29246"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcrema.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
