Weird question, when you read do you hear the words

as you read. I do, but apparently not everyone does?

How about when you think?

Dogs think and process, right? what are they hearing in their heads?

I need a drink.

I hear it in that voice. Like emails etc.


Related but not exactly the same-

I listened to the Harry Potter stuff as an audio book and Jim Dale did all the voices. When the movies came out, nobody sounded right.

The great inner monologue phenomenon. I remember that subject

causing a big debate in my psychology class. Not everybody has one and those that don't think those that do are a bit slow. It's just a way of processing information. It's an interesting subject. I failed that class, so I probably don't use my inner voice properly.

I'm probably in my head more than most.

It's why JD on Scrubs really resonated with me. But do people really not talk to themselves in their head?

That's super weird.

And that's coming from a guy who talks to himself in his head.

I seldom remember names.k I've heard that people who don't remember the names of others do so because they have little respect of others.

I remember screen names because there are no faces attached to them. I know I'm a freak, someone who isn't normal. I can recognize the voices of friend I haven't seen or spoken to in 40 years and their names are attached to their voices not their faces.

Writing i speak in my head.

Reading technical subjects, I speak in my head inner dialog to understand.

Reading a story, I world build and only dialog when characters are speaking. Everything else is just images... environment, weather, people, etc.

when reading a dialogue, do you read-hear in a female voice

when say "Debbie" is speaking, and in a male voice when "Tom" is speaking? Do they have accents?


I don't believe I hear voices when I read. Reason I am sure of this is that I don't always know how to say the words I am reading. Like "route" - is it "root" or "rowt"? Or famously...."program"? You say it like Dabo or like most everybody else?

because I'm probably distracted and re-reading something several times.

I also can't remember books that I read and shows that I watch for very long - I evidently have this type of brain:

Based on your description, you likely have a strength in semantic memory (facts and trivia) but a weakness in episodic memory (narrative and story). This is a common and normal variation in memory function, rather than an ailment.

I can remember watching a movie, but prob give very little detail

as to plot, etc.

My wife and son and basically recite the movie or tv show - and it takes them as long as if you were listening to a narrative that someone was currently watching said show.

I have learned not to ask my wife - 'what is this about?' unless I want an in depth detail of everything.

Do they think in their native tongue and translate everything else to speak it?
