Losing your inner monologue
Your inner monologue is where you tell yourself, "I don't want to get up yet," or "This is a tasty burger."
Aphasia from Ancient Greek means "without speech." Typically aphasia occurs after a stroke. Reduced blood flow or bleeding causes brain cells to start dying, but the neural transmitters signal the brain's neurons to keep firing, even as they starve from lack of oxygen. Any brain cells killed during this time can't come back.

What the voice inside your head says about you
The thoughts in your mind
We are so intimate with our thoughts that we never really stop to pay close attention to our wandering minds. When we do look at our thoughts, they turn out to be more interesting than we imagined....
Inner experiences
There are five categories of inner experiences:
- Inner speaking, which comes in many forms
- Inner seeing, which comes from things you've seen in real life or imaginary visuals
- Feeling, such as happiness or anger
- Sensory awareness, like being aware of the feeling of a carpet
- Unsymbolized thinking, which is a thought that doesn't manifest as words or images.
Different inner voices
Most of us are aware of the internal dialogue – rather than a monologue - where we talk to someone inside our head. Often, that other voice is another aspect of ourselves.
There are four kinds of inner voices: the faithful friend, the ambivalent parent, the proud rival, and the helpless child. We might adopt these different roles to help ourselves get through situations.

Bertrand Russel stated that the task of ...
Language and acquiring information
Take language away, and the amount of information you can acquire decreases.
Many deaf children born into hearing families live in a world unable to communicate properly. They are never exposed to abstract ideas such as "justice" or "global warming." Unless the parents learn sign language, the child's language access will be delayed or missing entirely.
Non-linguistic limitations
The lack of language affects even functions like math. Keeping track of exact numbers above four requires knowing the words for these numbers. The language-number interdependency means many deaf children in industrialized societies fall behind in math because they did not learn to count.
Social cognition is another part of your mind that needs language to develop. Why is your mom upset? Understanding social situations requires inferring what people around you are thinking.

Why Do We Gesture When We Talk?
Gestures and Speech
- Gestures are closely linked to speech.
- People seem to gesture naturally and even blind people who haven't seen anyone gesturing, are able to do so.
- Our words and gestures close...
Gestures Aid Thinking
- Just as speech puts our thoughts into words. pir gestures put our thoughts into our hands.
- Gestures aid our thinking and many problem solving tasks are done in a better way through the help of gestures.
