    Subvocalization, or covert speech, plays a crucial role in language comprehension and memory access. This muscular component is integral to cognitive processing, not merely an epiphenomenon.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Science
    • Neuroscience
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • The role of subvocalization in language comprehension and memory access has been debated.
    • Previous arguments against its significance are re-examined based on new data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the role of subvocalization in cognitive functioning.
    • To propose a multichannel processing model for language comprehension and memory access.

    Main Methods:

    • Critically analyzed existing arguments against subvocalization.
    • Presented data supporting the presence and function of covert speech.
    • Proposed a psychophysiological measurement approach for neuromuscular events.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Arguments against subvocalization's role in memory access were found to be erroneous.
    • Covert speech is present during all cognitive functioning and phoneme processing.
    • Phonetic encoding via speech musculature may access linguistic memory.

    Conclusions:

    • Subvocalization is a functional component of cognitive processes.
    • A multichannel system involving speech, visual, and kinesthetic modalities is hypothesized.
    • Neuromuscular events associated with covert speech can be measured and analyzed.
