Siempre se ha pensado que a las personas que hablan solas, \u00ables hace falta un tornillo\u00bb. Pero ahora, una investigaci\u00f3n de las universidades de Wisconsin y Pensilvania arroj\u00f3 que esta conducta, aparentemente irracional, tiene beneficios: ayuda a reactivar la informaci\u00f3n visual y eso facilita la b\u00fasqueda de objetos perdidos. Tambi\u00e9n ayuda al individuo a enfocarse en una tarea.<\/p>\n
En el estudio, publicado en Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology (Revista Trimestral de Psicolog\u00eda Experimental), la mitad de los participantes deb\u00edan repetir en voz alta el nombre de un objeto invisible. Por ejemplo, \u00ab\u00bfd\u00f3nde est\u00e1n las llaves del auto?\u00bb.Otros deb\u00edan s\u00f3lo pensar en ese objeto sin decirlo en voz alta. Los cient\u00edficos encontraron que los que hablaban solos pudieron encontrar el objeto m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que los otros participantes.<\/p>\n
Tal como se\u00f1alan los investigadores, \u00ablas etiquetas verbales -el habla autodirigida- pueden cambiar un proceso perceptual continuo\u00bb. \u00abPor ejemplo, escuchar la palabra ‘silla’ puede temporalmente convertir nuestro sistema visual en un mejor ‘detector de sillas’ que si simplemente pensamos sobre una silla\u00bb.<\/p>\n
\u00abEscuchar el nombre de un objeto puede mejorar nuestra capacidad de atender simult\u00e1neamente a m\u00faltiples regiones del espacio que contienen esos objetos nombrados y hacer visible un objeto que hasta ese momento era invisible\u00bb agregaron los autores.<\/p>\n

\nTalking to Yourself Could Have Mental Benefits<\/p>\n
People who talk to themselves while searching for specific objects may be able to find them faster, researchers say.<\/p>\n
Previous studies have suggested that when children talk to themselves it helps guide their behavior. For example, kids may talk themselves through tying their shoes to help remember how it’s done. The authors of the new study set out to determine if the same was true for adults.<\/p>\n
The findings, from Gary Lupyan, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Daniel Swingley, of the University of Pennsylvania, were published online in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.<\/p>\n
In the experiment, adult participants were shown 20 pictures of different objects and asked to find one of them (for example, a jar of peanut butter on a supermarket shelf, or a stick of butter in the refrigerator). In some tests, they saw only a text label informing them what they had to find.<\/p>\n
In other tests, the participants were told to locate the object again. This time, however, they were instructed to say the name of the object to themselves. The study revealed that by talking to themselves, people found the objects more quickly.<\/p>\n
In a second experiment, participants completed a virtual shopping task. They were shown pictures of items commonly found on supermarket shelves and asked to identify those items whenever they appeared. Once again, the researchers found that by telling themselves the name of familiar objects the participants often were able to find them faster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
