Jumbled Words Study

[pevergreen]

Its not another article about how if you mix up the letters in between, no matter what the word, we will read it right if the first and last letters are ther same.

Hlelo I am peeeervrgn

That might not have worked too well with pevergreen, but:

Three wree there of tehm.

There were three of them.

Anyones thoughts?

My only thought at the moment is:

What are you smoking and can I have some!

or more adequately put:

Waht are you sonmkig and can I hvae smoe?

Quid

(Qiud)

[pevergreen]

What am I smoking? I dont know.

It was a fleeting thought. Anyone have any others like that?

[Andres]

Three wree there of tehm.

There were three of them.

I read "Three were there of them". Maybe it's my bad english. Or maybe I should smoke something as well

To be fiar, tihs is a sorty taht has been rptaeeed mnay a tmie. I rlaely dno't see waht the fsus is auobt.

[Motep]

me ntiehr ddue. I jsut dton see the lgioc in tihs nnonsse aymnroe. I need smthing better to do than mix up words....

[Csargo]

I think my IQ was lowered a little after reading this. PSSSSSSH miss spelling words on purpose. I mean come on who does that?

[Caerfanan]

Actually, I think that with long words and heavy permutation this doesn't work. The brain fixes a few "typos", but not a whole mess.

But pllicbuy dynliiapsg the thought is itstnnreeig

Huh?

[Dutch_guy]

I did a study like this a few years ago in school, the results have sort of escaped me, but I do remember that is was quite fun making words barely readable.

I think that a 12 letters long word can turn into something not understandable if you use more than a few letters permutation, and worse, if you can lead the reader into another word... but with a few context one can still sort something out, maybe. what is really impressive is how the brain processes part of the information t receives, if you have only those few ermutations, I think that the reading speed is normal...

[ajaxfetish]

I think that was the point of the original study. The finding was that the brain processes words not one letter at a time but as a whole, so with the beginning and ending in place, it has a remarkable ability to overlook rearrangement within (though as you say, long enough words would foil this, and certain similar words--three and there for example--would complicate things).

Sorry to bump the thread but I was just forwarded this by a buddy so here:

Fi yuo cna raed tihs, yuo hvae a sgtrane mnid too. Cna yuo raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be

This study keeps popping up every six months. As long as I have been a backroomer I have ran into this study occasionally. I guess it's nothing new - but it still amazes me that I can read what Spemtla posted almost as quick as I read normal spelling.


Gah, Gha, Hag, Hga, Agh, Ahg!
