Saying what you're trying to remember out loud
I was reading this webpage:
http://www.wikihow.com/Overcome-Short-Term-Memory-Loss
There I read this sentence:
10 - Saying what you're trying to remember out loud, involves another sense thus adding to your chances of retaining the thought.
I don't get it. If I'm unsuccessfully trying to fetch some information off my brain and not able to retrieve anything, then what would there be to say out loud? Okay, I went to a party a week ago and met several people there but can't remember exactly who. I remember there was a party but can't work out the details. Would saying out loud 'there was a party', etc., help me in any way? Which extra sense would I be using while saying things loudly, my own hearing sense? Please help me with this.
