All the time we program our brains to make automatic assumptions about the way things are. This helps us process thoughts quicker, however, we can also get caught off guard when we just assume things are a certain way.
Try reciting the colors of the words in this image aloud, but do so real quick...
You mean:
ReplyDeleteTry saying the colors of the words, as oppose to reading them. Of course - as fast as possible...
Instinctively we'd have an easier time reading:
Yellow Blue Orange etc. than:
Green Red Blue etc.
Corrected, thank you for pointing that out. Although it does mess with your programming either way, I would assume it would differ from person to person. E.g. a child might have an easier time reciting the colors than reading the words.
ReplyDeleteYeah - I guess before one is fluid in his/her reading he only sees the color, and the conflict isn't strong enough...
