Talking alone makes you smarter

Good news for those who often engage in long and complex conversations with each other: This does not mean that you are going crazy - but these lonely conversations can boost your intelligence as they accelerate the cognitive side of the brain.

The research that came to this conclusion was conducted by two psychologists who were intrigued by people looking for items in the supermarket whispering the name of the food. To prove that this helped in the search, they did a pretty simple test.

In one of the dynamics, they needed to find a picture of a specific object among several others. Some volunteers needed to do this quietly - and they took longer to complete the task than were allowed to speak the name of the figure.

In the second activity, an online shopping site was used in a similar experiment - and those who talked about the products ordered to be searched were much faster in the search, but only if they knew the name of the object. The full article can be checked by clicking here.
