I’m more interested to know if you “say” or “hear” the words in your head as you read.
Thought you made a great distinction there, but I think maybe you missed it.
“Saying” is not the same as “hearing”, and in the subvocalization business, people don’t ordinarily make that distinction. I think I hear, but don’t say, when reading.
One way I tried to test this was by humming while reading. If I were saying, I’d expect that to interfere with reading, while hearing would not. Tried the same while literally biting my tongue.
Reading felt the same to me with either intervention.
I don’t think it was meant as a distinction but as a description of a mental process that might not be exactly the same for everyone. So the dichotomy is between say/hear on the one side and not say/hear on the other.
