Self-talk refers to the narration inside your head, sometimes called inner speech.

自言自语是指内心的叙述，有时也称为内部语言。

So, it may become part of your inner speech. In other words, you start thinking in that language.

所以，它可能会成为你" 内心语言" 的一部分，换句话说，你开始用这种语言思考。

Processing images or music, participating in inner speech, and recalling memories all require complicated neural pathways that are nowhere close to the linearity of the knee-jerk reflex.

处理图像或音乐，参与内心独白，进行回忆都需要复杂的神经通路，它与线性的膝跳反射截然不同。

As the researcher Elizabeth Schotter noted: “Attempts to eliminate inner speech have been shown to result in impairments in comprehension when texts are reasonably difficult and require readers to make inferences.”

正如研究人员伊丽莎白·肖特所指出的：“当文本相当难懂，需要读者进行推断时，试图消除内心语言会导致理解障碍，这一点已得到证实。”
