Talk to Yourself

I should be very capable, according to the newspaper, because I talk to myself a lot.

Researchers at Bangor University have decided it is good for our brain to talk out loud to ourselves. It helps the brain to absorb material and improves performance.

They tested people with written instructions, and found they took on board more information when they read them out loud, rather than just to themselves.

Dr. Mari-Beffa says: "This can probably explain why sports professionals talk to themselves, saying things like, "come on" to help them stay focused.

So now you know. It's good to talk to yourself.

And Dr. Mari-Beffa is the senior lecturer in neuropsychology.

Re: Talk to Yourself

Well, that's good to know . Feeling more comfortable now .

Wondering if the same applies to mental health patients, or are they still considered mental, because they talk to themselves ?

You and me both Puddles

Rhian, it will be better if you can manage to talk a little louder. It reinforces what we are doing, especially when you prod Tpin. A whisper might not have the desired affect.

The pubs are crap.

The city is scruffy(around the campus).

The only decent bit is the mussel beds and Straits behind it.
