Study of self-talk and cognitive functions. A 2014 study by Kross, Bruehlman-Senecal, Park, Burson, Dougherty, Shablack, and Ayduk examined the impact of self-talk on cognitive function. In this study, researchers conducted several experiments to examine the influence of third-person self-talk on emotion regulation and self-control. Participants were asked to recall stressful or emotional experiences or to prepare for stressful situations. They were instructed to address themselves in either the first or third person. The researchers measured participants' emotional response, cognitive load, and self regulation through self-report and physiological measures. __________________________________________________________________________ Kross, E., Bruehlman-Senecal, E., Park, J., Burson, A., Dougherty, A., Shablack, H., ... & Ayduk, O.

A study by Duncan and Cheyne in 2002 examined the impact of self-talk on mathematical achievement. In this study, researchers investigated the effects of loud self-talk on performance in solving mathematical problems. The participants were young adults who had to solve various mathematical problems while talking to themselves either loudly or quietly. The researchers compared participants' accuracy and speed in problem solving between conditions and also examined the relationship between self-talk, self regulation, and psychological factors such as anxiety and self-efficacy.

These studies show that self-talk can have positive effects on performance, emotional regulation, and cognitive functioning in a variety of contexts. It is important to note
