Why i hear words in my head

Post Reply New Topic

When im reading a book it does that and why but how i learn how can i think pictures or something?

This is just your way of expiriencing the world and ideas.
You can try to train yourself to do it in a different way but - what for?

As long as you have an idea what you are reading, the methodology used in getting that idea should not be scrutinized.

It's the final result that counts many times, not the process used to obtain that result.

I've obtained results in very odd ways at times---which people have readily criticized.

Is that good or bad thing?

I do the same thing.

It doesn't particularly bother me, but I do think it slows me down a bit when reading since it basically prevents me from reading any faster than I can talk.

I read everything out loud in my mind, if it's a story, each character has their own voice. It slows me down but I have great comprehension and retention, so it kind of equals out

In speed reading courses it's one of the first things they say you should practice, reading without the internal voice, it helps you go faster.

It's not unusual.

I read with the voice inside but it doesn't slow my reading speed compared to my peers. Like the voice inside could be fast-forwarded without deformation.
As I'm very inquisitive, the factor slowing me the most is not aquiring the text but processing its meaning, so sometimes I go over and over one sentence until I understand what it means.

This study found that 82.5% of readers hear the words in their head:

When reading, the voice I hear is my own, the same voice I hear when I'm thinking. I've read a lot on self-thought, inner and expressive speech development and this is "normal". When a person has no inner self-thought/inner voice or they have multiple distinct voices then they may have other issues.

Yeah like the long word i cant even say that word because im deaf i haven't hard of it while im reading and if i cant say i skip a word or i could write it down to work it out its frustrating at times but i dont have dyslexia or adhd but i havent taught well in school for speech but i can talk really well in my head but but long words its harder to say

What's the "long word?"
