Talk To Yourself To Find Things It used to be that if we saw someone talking to themselves, we would assume they were probably crazy. However, researchers decided to study this and found quite the opposite. The study involved having people search for items and tested the effect of speech on the efficiency of the search. Those participating in the study were shown pictures and told to find a specific item while speaking the name of the item, such as “coke.” The study found that those who spoke the item’s name aloud found them more quickly. It is important to note, however, that the less the spoken cue was related to the item being searched for, the less the trick worked. This should not be a problem, however, as you are unlikely to repeat an unrelated word, like “refrigerator,” while looking for your keys (unless you really lost your keys).
