We know from everyday experience that when we need to keep a small amount of verbal information "in mind" for a short period, an effective cognitive strategy is to silently rehearse the words. This basic cognitive strategy has been elegantly codified in Baddeley and colleagues model of verbal working memory, the phonological loop. Here we explore how the intuitive appeal of the phonological loop is grounded in the phenomenological experience of subvocal rehearsal as consisting of an interaction between an "inner voice" and an "inner ear." We focus particularly on how our intuitions about the phenomenological experience of "inner speech" might constrain or otherwise inform the functional architecture of information processing models of verbal working memory such as the phonological loop; and how, indeed, how ideas about consciousness may offer alternative explanations for the dual nature of inner speech in verbal working memory.
我们从日常经验中知道，当我们需要在短时间内记住少量口头信息时，一种有效的认知策略是默默地重复这些词语。这个基本的认知策略已经在 Baddeley 和同事的言语工作记忆模型——语音回路中得到了巧妙的体现。在这里，我们探讨了语音回路的直观吸引力如何基于内省性复述的现象学体验，这种体验由“内心声音”和“内在耳朵”之间的相互作用组成。我们特别关注我们对“内在言语”现象学体验的直觉如何限制或为言语工作记忆的信息处理模型（如语音回路）的功能架构提供信息；以及，事实上，意识观念如何为言语工作记忆中内在言语的双重性质提供替代解释。
