McGurk Effect
The McGurk
effect is
a
perceptual
phenomenon
that
demonstrates
an
interaction between hearing and vision in
speech perception. The illusion occurs when
the auditory component of one sound is
paired with the visual component of another
sound, leading to the perception of a third
sound.
2. Speech
Speech is
the
vocalized
form
of
communication based upon the syntactic
combination of lexicals and names that are
drawn from very large (usually about 1,000
different words) vocabularies. Each spoken
word is created out of the phonetic
combination of a limited set of vowel and
consonant speech sound units.
3. Mental Picture/Image
A mental image or mental picture is the
representation in a person's mind of the
physical world outside of that person.[1] It is
an experience that, on most occasions,
significantly resembles the experience of
perceiving some object, event, or scene, but
occurs when the relevant object, event, or
scene is not actually present to the senses. [2]
[3][4][5]
There
are
sometimes
episodes,
particularly on falling asleep (hypnagogic
imagery) and waking up (hypnopompic),
when the mental imagery, being of a rapid,
phantasmagoric and involuntary character,
defies perception, presenting a kaleidoscopic
field, in which no distinct object can be
discerned.
4. Sound
Sound is the vibration of matter, as
perceived by the sense of hearing. We
usually hear vibrations that travel through
air, but sound can also travel through gases,
liquids and solids. It cannot travel through a
vacuum (such as exists in outer space).
When the vibrations reach our ears, they are
converted into nerve impulses that are sent
to our brains, allowing us to perceive the
sound.
5. Language
Language is the ability to acquire and use
complex
systems
of
communication,
