16.Self-talk helps us allTalking Io yourself may seem a little shameful.If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech,you'll know the social problems it can cause.(36)ATalking to ourselves,whether out loud or silently in our heads,is valuable.Far from being a sign of madness,self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do,manage our activities and control our emotions.Psychologists call self-talk private speech-language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself.We do a lot of it when we are young.As children,we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others.(37)C
Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking.One recent study suggests that self-talk is the most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person:as"you"rather than"I".
We keep the private speech we use as children inside-but we never truly put away the out-loud version.(38)BYou're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself.
(39)G Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places,leading to a solution to a problem,just like a regular dialogue,and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.
Both kinds of self-talk-silent and out loud-seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking.(40)E
A.But there's no need for embarrassment.
B.If you want proof,turn on a sports channel.
C.As we grow older,we keep this system inside.
D.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with toys.
E.Words to the self,spoken silently or aloud,are so much more than just chatter.
F.According to the well-known saying,talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.
G.Self-talk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.
