Private speech is the use of language by young children for self-regulation, such as planning, guiding, and monitoring their behavior. It is called private because it is typically not intended for communication with others but rather for the child's own use. Inner speech, on the other hand, refers to the use of language in the mind without any audible expression, and is typically seen in older children and adults. Inherent and cognitive speech are not commonly used terms in the developmental psychology literature.
