Abstract: The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the process of verbal monitoring. Specifically, this thesis investigates whether internal and external monitoring proceeds via the same, perception-based process, as proposed by the perceptual loop theory. We compare verbal internal and external monitoring with the use of eye-tracking, fMRI and Parkinson patient data. The data obtained suggest that verbal monitoring is not perception based, and that is a domain general process. We therefore propose the improvement of current monitoring models by describing a domain general monitoring mechanism for internal monitoring and external monitoring, by which conflict is resolved in a process-independent manner.
