If you believe you are immune from this effect, you can have your susceptibility demonstrated via a quick 1.5 minute youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8fHR9jKVMVery interesting...
But we must remember that the processing of sound speech is a social interactive proximity phenomenon where the sound is totally associated with the mouth movement of the speaker at ALL time....Then the visual information associated with the PRESENCE of the person who speak dominate the isolated sound....
I am surprized but not so much if i think about it....The most important encompassing information dominate the secondary one and condition it ...
Very interesting.... The general fact that the multidimensional stack of information superseed the partial one is a universal phenomenon.......
A lot of people want to argue that we can’t hear differences between gear because we’re susceptible to such effects, but that’s clearly not the case.Many people dont think.... They own an opinion and their process of thinking is a search to conform anything around this opinion.... The use of the "placebo" concept out of his medical context to explain an audio experiment is an illustration of this fact.... For sure we are all suggestible beings and thats play a role.... But using this fact to reduce anything that does not conform to our a priori opinion is not thinking very much nor experimenting either....
An example of this universal conditioning is the conditioned prejudice by the market practice that only an upgrading of gear will give to us a new better S.Q.
Most dont even think about that problem, they throw their money without thinking about the way to embed in all his working dimensions their system in the first place... 😁
I know it and for the last 2 years i made experiments and discoveries each week....
My last discovery is astounding for me..... It is about acoustic working dimension controls...
But it is another story for another post....
My best to you....
