Talking to youself? You're not insane...

I just read an article in New Scientist that I thought people might be interested in, so I immediately said to myself, 'Jack, you should post it in the blog!'  The good news is the article actually is about talking to yourself, and apparently the fact I do it doesn't make me crazy, but in fact could help develop my intelligence.  It seems that language helps people memorise things by categorising them in our memories - by saying the name of the thing out loud or even in our heads, we reinforce whatever the memory of it.

So relax, you're not getting sent to an asylum yet.
