About this study

The goal is to define what is the nature of intern speech, how it manifests itself, who deal with agency in intern speech and finally what is the role of intern speech in attention tasks.

Read the detailed description

Intern speech has a main goal in memory, thinking and self-awareness. So this study might bring information in order to better understand any potential adverse effect on depression or anxiety disorders for example.
