The effect of subvocalisation on reading speed and comprehension is briefly reviewed. Reading speed is slowed by subvocalisation but comprehension and retention of complex material is improved. In this single case study the activities of the laryngeal and mylohyoid muscles were recorded during reading and other activities. Through electromyographic biofeedback the patient learnt to reduce muscle tension and to discontinue the long term habit of subvocalisation.
