How Our Brains Process Speech |
|
|
"The average 20-year-old knows between 27,000 and 52,000 different words. Spoken out loud, most of these words last less than a second. With every word, the brain has a quick decision to make: which of those thousands of options matches the signal? And about 98% of the time, the brain chooses the correct word. How is this possible?" In the video below, Gareth Gaskell, Head of the Sleep, Language, and Memory Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of York, digs into the complexities of speech comprehension. |
