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.
