Now pick some other aspect of subvocalization to change—perhaps the accent, or the speed, or the pitch—and read the next sentence in that way.
When I imagine a higher- or lower-pitched voice, I can feel my larynx actually moving up or down, whereas I can’t detect any movement of tongue or lips if my subvocalization is at normal speaking speed or faster. Anyone else finds the same?
I had the same experience with the pitch changes, but when I altered speed I could feel my pulse change. It didn’t feel good to think quickly.
I also tried switching the gender of my subvocalizations (male to female). It was incredibly disorienting, which makes me curious about how my mind distinguishes between ‘thinking like a male’ and ‘thinking like a female’.
