- Differences in internal speech do not affect the efficiency of task switching.
- Research on anendophasia adds to the diversity of phenomenal human experience.

Mine either only runs some of the time or it’s all the time and I’m too distracted with more abstract thought to notice. I’m not sure which.
Yeah there are good days where i can give the static something (like an old actors name or sports stat) to chew on but other days im trying to think while ‘national anthem’ by Radiohead is banging around up there
