Don't shy away from people who talk to themselves, they're just trying to focus on something important.
Talking to yourself has long been considered by some to be a sign of madness, but a new study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has determined that children who speak aloud when working through a task seem able to concentrate better. Similarly in adults, repeating the name of an object that you've lost can help you to remember where it is.
Saying a word helps focus the mind on something people are looking for - and it works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the word over and over again helps even more.
