Have you ever noticed that you hear the words you read in your head, like an audiobook playing silently?
This mental voice, known as subvocalization, is a common phenomenon that helps us understand and remember what we read.
Scientists believe that subvocalization acts like a mental storage system, allowing us to keep track of words as we read and understand the meaning of sentences.
While some people try to suppress this internal voice for faster reading, it actually plays a crucial role in comprehension and helps us appreciate the text we read.
