Private speech, or self-talk, is a common phenomenon in childhood where children talk to themselves while performing tasks. Eventually, it becomes internalized as inner speech and forms a part of a child's thinking process. This phenomenon is also known as Vygotsky's theory of the zone of proximal development.
