NanceXToo Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) The McGurk Effect: Watch your ears lie to you. http://www.wimp.com/mcgurkeffect/ Neat illusion...I'd personally never even heard of it before today. I actually rewound the video and closed my eyes to listen a second time to see if it was for real. It was! :D ETA: see my post right below this one, too :D Edited December 23, 2010 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That's really interesting. My spectrum child (likely nonverbal learning disability/has issues with visual input) only hears ba...even when I'm pointing to and he's staring at the mouth. What in the world...

Chris in VA Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Any other place to see the McGurk Effect? Safe Eyes won't let me on wimp.com Never mind, I went to youtube. Know what's weird? I saw/heard him saying THA THA THA, with a TH, not a B or a D. When I closed my eyes, it became Ba Ba.

That's really interesting about your DC only hearing the "ba" sound... We have the opposite effect here since I and both DD's are hard-of-hearing. We rely on speech-reading to differentiate most consonants so we aren't really good examples, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this more and more all the time. It's probably time for a hearing test. (Either that or everyone mumbles. :glare:) My dad was hard-of-hearing and we always assumed it was because of noise in some of his work environments when he was younger. He had worked in machine shops and as an excavator around lots of loud equipment. I'm sure that was part of it, but I'm starting to wonder.

What in the world... Huh! That's interesting! Well, if he has issues with visual input I guess he's effectively blocking it out and hearing what's really there instead of being tricked! That's kind of cool :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That is pretty cool. I can't wait to show dd. She'll get a kick out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool until he needs to drive. I have one that doesn't seem to see what's in front of her at times. I really need to show her this. It'll either put my mind at ease, or freak me out. :001_unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
