People without an inner voice have poorer verbal memory
humanities.ku.dk
The vast majority of people have an ongoing conversation with themselves, an inner voice, that plays an important role in their daily lives. But between 5-10 per cent of the population do not have the same experience of an inner voice, and they find it more difficult to perform certain verbal memory tasks, new research shows.

    Wow l, i didnt know this was a thing. I’m the visual version of this - which i already know sucks less.

    I wonder whether you don’t get songs stuck in your head… like as a consolation prize at least?

      I’m almost the opposite. I can recall a song I know and “listen” to it in my head. However my dreams tend to be like comics. A static image with accompanying sounds or, on a couple of occasions, my dream was like listening to an audio book… This was before audio books were a thing.

      I get songs stuck in my head almost every day! Drives me crazy and keeps me awake. There’s no music, just the urge to say/sing the words
