Repeating
Words demonstrates a sound illusion. Through earphones, listen
to a word or series of words repeated over and over with no
pause in between them. Notice what word or words you hear,
then find out what you have been listening to by looking under
the sign "Repeating Words." You will find that you
can hear sounds that are not there. These illusory words are
heard quite clearly and it is hard to believe that you have
not actually heard them. Repeating sounds quickly loose their
context. As you look for meaning in a situation, you come
up with different interpretations of what is being said.
