Read out loud

Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind.
And better than that: Alzheimer's is a long, long, ways down the road before it ever gets anywhere near you.
Only very good minds can read this. This is weird, but interesting!

If you can read this, you have a strange mind, too. Only 55 people out of 100 can.

I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseaethe huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
 
Yes amazing how quickly I could start reading that :crazy:
 
Yes, no problems
It's all to do with what's called top down processing (rather than data driven or bottom up) :lol: ie previous knowledge and expectation will influence your perception

What do you think this is ?

If you had been presented with pictures of animals before this picture you would be most likely to say a rat. If you had been shown faces then you would see a man wearing glasses. (

Heres another example the Stroop test

and some more examples(and a bit of theory)

I read it OK but did stumble slightly at the word "17" perhaps if it had been written as i7 or I7 I may have aced it

And I saw a face
 
That's funny, I saw a mouse, cat, a sheep and a duck :lol:
 
I read it no problem - and I saw Rolf Harris! :eh:
 
They remind me of - private numberplates ...
I am always trying to work them out when on the motorways

Cant see where rolf harris is though ? :?

I saw a girl dancing in the moonlight - but I'm on some amazing morphine based painkillers at the moment.
 
I'm so peasled taht I culod raed tihs bcuaees I auctlaly ejony wtirnig lkie tihs, ist hsetyiracl.
 
I have mild dyslexia. But these test are revealing good results for me according to my Daughter. (watch me make a few mistakes now).

Thank goodness for spellcheck.

Me too, marvelous thing the human mind WJ
 
Has anyone ever found themselves seeing the same number plate sequence over and over. I once went through months of either finding myself following cars with registrations starting with DEO .... or noticing them oncoming. It happened so often that I told my young grandson about it one day and sure enough we spotted one, then two, then three and he continued counting and we spotted 44 numberplates starting DEO in about one hour's driving. :shock:
 

Isnt it a bit like when you are buying a new car - you suddenly start seeing loads of the same car of your choice
Even if you try to deliberately choose an unusual sporty vehicle , like I do , I am on my 2nd tigra [ hard top convertible]
adored my 1st so much that I have got another one :thumbup:
Its a real 'girly car' and a dream to drive ...
Always had to have the convertible plus air con for my hot flushes with the menapause ... :crazy:

Anna.
 

Agree sid,roy,nigel ...
Its amazing how we can all share a difficult hurdle to overcome and still get around or over it
successfully. [there are some great's in this list - alongside yourselves guys :thumbup: ]
We understand here - and will never judge nor laugh .

It didn't take me long to read either bit, but then I taught for many years and got used to dyslexic spelling and dreaful handwriting.
I had heard the thing about only needing the first and last letters in place.

Out of curiousity - how is dyslexia seen by a person ?

Am asking this to help myself understand more about this ...

Anna.
 
I could read it, too . . . The thing about first and last letters doesn't always work, some of it is about the shape of the word as well.

At one place I worked we advertised for an Archaeological Technician, with the usual things including "clean driving licence".

The ad. went from me to personnel, to the typing pool, back to personnel, quick check by me, off to the Guardian.

2 days later the Guardian phoned me . . "Did we really mean "clean living licence?""

'Driving' and 'living' are shaped the same. We'd all missed it.

This is even funnier if you know any archaeologists! :lol:

My excuse was, that it's very difficult to proofread your own work. But to have it pointed out by the Grauniad, of all papers . . .! :shock:

Private Eye readers will recognise the final spelling of Grauniad. For the youngsters amongst us . . . the paper was once notorious for glaring spelling mistakes.
