People talking to self-are usually branded as crazy ones but according to studies, having a conversation with oneself is a sign of being a genius. How possible is the negative stigma against soliloquy is eliminated from the society then?
How could this be possible? You're probably thinking, don't crazy people talk to themselves? Society has built this negative stigma around talking to yourself, so many feel embarrassed when caught.
Psychologists Daniel Swilley and Gary Lupyan published their study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggesting that talking to yourself could be beneficial. Albert Einstein himself "used to repeat his sentences to himself softly," as reported in AlbertEinstein.org.
Wrigley and Lupyan suggested that oral stimulation altered ongoing perceptual processing. Hence, when one is repeating the name of an object can help participants of the study become more receptive to the object when said aloud. This way, memorizing becomes easier as well.
The brain is said to work more efficiently when talking to self. Live Science conducted research about this by testing subjects that repeated objects. They found them to have had a better memory. Speaking something out loud to oneself is said to solidify the actions of the body and how the brain should respond.
The study also emphasized that talking to oneself out loud can help validate critical decisions, and achieve more goals. Such technique can reinforce attention and focus. Walking oneself through the steps will make things even clearer, compared to a moment of blending all measures together. By saying it and hearing the steps, the mental condition of the brain is set in a way that it is motivated to achieve the goal.
Babies and toddlers can be practiced with this technique because their ages are the best period where the brain are critically developing as well as the values. Nonetheless, they should be guided accordingly and become balanced with this technique by not growing up like weird people.
