If you cant understand this, basicly, the brain canunderstand words as long as the first and last letters are the same even if the end is completely jumbled up \

Old news, but yeah, it's one of the (pretty obvious) facts of how our brain works.

 

If you think of it, it's perfectly normal; if you quickly see a person's face that you know, even if just for a millisecond, you recognize that person. Some cells in the brain get activated and they trigger other cells that eventually form a track of activated cells that is the face you recognize.

 

The same thing goes for words, and images that aren't complete.

 

we will all be able to read the sentence below, even though the letters aren't complete:

 

 

If you can read this sentence, you're a sane human being.

 

Fun, isn't it? Perhaps this will be a little harder? Ooh, you can still read this? What about this? And This?

 

So you don't have to completely see something to recognize it; just the basic characteristics are enough. And I quickly drew that in paint, so there's no difficult theory behind it; it's plain and simple: we're totally different from computers, our brain works in mysterious ways. We recognize patterns in certain givens that distinguish an object from another, we don't see the whole picture, that would require too much energy of our brain.

is it 1997?

is it 1997?

 

 

 

Yeah, old news, like I said, but it's still a good thing to know for all future psychologists :)

Now try jumbling the first and last letters... It turns illegible.

Yay, a new way to get around the swear filter...Maybe I can use it on people who post this topic for the 100th time.

We see words as symbols, so it makes sense that you don't need the words in exact order.

I dont think this is compleatly true, you see people seem to still get pissed at me if i spell something wrong. Either that, or most people are stupid.

Oh yeah, and how many words do you know that start with t, end with t and have a and h in the middle. Atleast I think 'that' is the only one :\.

Are you saying Landon is stupid? :XD:

Completely. >.<

 

:P

 

 

 

This topic is an oldie but goodie, in my eyes. It entertains me no matter how many times I see it. :D

I'm not saying I'm pissed off with you (I'm not), but there's a difference between bad spelling and jumbled middle letters.

:anxious: :-w *runs before he gets here*

Somewhere I read this was proven false because it only works with words that you are familiar with. If the word was something long like, mlocobriigoy (Microbiology) most people would not know what it was.

^That doesn't prove it false. Just limits it. Obviously, if you write a word that no one has seen before and screw up the letters, no one will know what it is. They can't sound it out.

 

 

 

Yeah, Ive seen this before. I think I was the last one who posted this on these forums. :P

100th time I've seen this. Yo.

Omg i went to bed in 2006 and woke up in 1996 >.

The only thing that gets old around here faster than stuff like this, is all the people bent on making sure everyone else knows they've seen it before.

 

 

 

I mean really, a single "yeah, cool thing, we had a post about it a few months back" is quite sufficient. We don't really need to the "I've seen it before TOO!".

I used it b4 on these fourms

normally topics get posted once, then get reposted once and its annoying.

 

 

 

this topic gets posted at least once every 5 months, and it really, really pisses me off.
