This research examines speech errors as reflections of the cognitive mechanisms involved in language production. By synthesizing findings from psycholinguistic literature, it explores how errors such as substitutions, omissions, and reversals provide insights into processes like lexical access, phonological encoding, and executive control. Through the analysis of various studies, this paper highlights how speech errors reveal both the limitations and efficiencies of the human language system. The findings demonstrate that speech errors are not merely incidental but serve as critical evidence of the brain's language processing dynamics. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significant implications of understanding speech errors for advancing psycholinguistics, improving speech therapy practices, and enhancing language learning methodologies.
