Research has it that People who talk to themselves have better memories than those who work in silence,If you want to remember something, it will help to say it out loud to yourself or a friend.
While people who talk to themselves may get funny looks, their memories may be better than people who think in silence.
The findings could potentially help everyone from pupils revising for exams to people simply trying to remember to do something.
The research, by Montreal University, involved getting 44 undergraduates to read words on a screen.
The subjects were instructed to read the words in their heads; read silently but moving their lips; repeating aloud while looking at the screen, and repeating aloud to somebody else.
The researchers found the strongest results when addressing someone else, followed by talking to yourself.
Professor Victor Boucher of the University of Montreal said: ‘The simple fact of articulating without making a sound creates a sensorimotor link that increases our ability to remember, but if it is related to the functionality of speech, we remember even more
