Inner speaking, the covert talking that goes on inside a person's mind, can shape creative thought. How the phenomenological properties and quality of inner speaking correlate with a person's creative potential, however, is an open scientific problem. To explore this, participants ( n = 267) filled in the revised Varieties of Inner Speech Questionnaire and the revised Launay Slade Hallucination Scale (auditory subscale), and performed three tests of creative potential: one divergent (Alternative Uses Test) and two convergent thinking tests (Compound Remote Associates Test, short Hagen Matrices Test). The results showed that a tendency to engage in condensed and evaluative/ critical inner speaking negatively correlated with convergent thinking ability; and the results pointed toward a potential negative correlation of auditory hallucination proneness with divergent and convergent thinking ability. No evidence was found for a correlation of the dialogicality, imagining of others’ voices, or positive/regulatory aspect of the participants day-to-day inner speech, with creative potential. Herewith, the presented study contributes novel insight into the relationship between the varieties of inner speech and creative potential.

Inner speech is the voice in our heads that serves a variety of functions, and impacts individuals’ thoughts and behaviours. It is thought that young offenders have misguiding inner voices, and there is hope that professionals can change this through inner speech modification. During treatment, practitioners attempt to teach young offenders to use skills and tools. Ideally, this will reduce recidivism rates and allow these youth to become contributing members of society. In this literature review, the relationship between inner speech and young offender reoffence is examined. The purpose of this research is to bridge literature on inner speech, cognitive behavioural therapy, and young offender research to provide a source of suggestions for reducing delinquent behaviours. I advocate for inner speech modification programs in young offender rehabilitation because the research presented in this review supports the use of innerspeech in behaviour modification. I argue that the programs designed for young offenders need continued flexibility, and that there needs to be an increase in program availability for young offenders, especially ones involving inner speech modification. I also suggest that researchers should examine more preventative, earlier intervention programs, and investigate the relationships between inner speech and language deficiencies in young offenders.

Background. A variant of the ‘inner speech’ theory of auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia suggests that there is an abnormality of the relationship between the ‘inner voice’ and ‘inner ear’, such that hallucinators are unable to distinguish inner ‘imagined’ speech from real external speech, and so misrecognize inner speech as alien.Methods. Five experiments were carried out comparing 12 schizophrenic patients who were highly prone to hallucinate, with seven patients who were not, on a series of auditory imagery tasks that are differentially dependent on inner voice/inner ear partnership for successful performance: parsing meaningful letter/number strings; the verbal transformation effect; phoneme judgements; pitch judgements, and homophony and rhyme judgements.Results. Contrary to our hypothesis, there was no evidence that the group with the propensity to hallucinate were impaired on tasks requiring normal inner ear/inner voice partnership.Conclusions. Together with previous work indicating no impairment of the phonological loop in patients who hallucinate, these results suggest that inner speech and auditory verbal hallucinations are not connected in a simplistic or direct way. Indeed, a reappraisal of psychological models of hallucinations in general may be warranted.

ResumoApós extensa e inconclusiva pesquisa bibliográfica por replicações de um estudo de Berk (1994) que relatou positivamente a relação entre o uso do Inner Speech, tão argumentado por Vygotsky, e o sucesso na resolução de problemas em crianças viu-se a oportunidade de elaborar um novo estudo, desta vez utilizando uma amostragem diferente de participantes composta em sua totalidade por alunos do curso de Matemática da PUCRS. Assim, fazendo uso de uma TIC, propomos investigar se há correlação entre o uso do Inner Speech e o sucesso na resolução de problemas matemáticos mesmo após a infância. A análise estatística usando SPSS resultou no valor-p 0,0357 e assim a hipótese nula (“Vygotsky’s Inner Speech não ajuda na solução de problemas matemáticos em TICs?) pode ser rejeitada.AbstractAfter extensive and inconclusive bibliographical research by replications of a study by Berk (1994) that reported positively the relationship between the use of the Inner Speech, so argued by Vygotsky, and children’s success in solving problems, we realized that there was an opportunity to elaborate a new study.  However, this time using a different sample of participants that is composed in its entirety by students of the Faculty of Mathematics at PUCRS. Thus, making use of an ICT, we proposed to investigate if there is a correlation between the use of Inner Speech and the success in solving mathematical problems even after childhood. Statistical analysis using SPSS resulted in a p-value 0.0357 and therefore the null hypothesis ("Vygotsky's Inner Speech does not help solve mathematical problems in ICTs?") can be rejected.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.
