Recall the times you thought someone said something but they didn't and you mistakenly believed they said something other than what was said. That is because of the McGurk Effect.
What is it?
The McGurk effect is experienced when a person is talking and we hear what they are saying, but see another word visually; therefore determining what the person said through visual perception conflicting with our auditory perception. Videos found on the net show that if you dub someone's voice with another word your brain will tell you that it is the word being mouthed, not heard and your brain will be confused for a moment,. The brain will be forced to "fill in the blanks," and "read between the lines" leading to assumptions about what was actually said.
The reason this happens is because, according to the Youtube channel Ok Science, our experiences with other people talking and sounds have helped shaped our brain into perceiving auditory and visual stimuli. The superior temporal sulcus , which combines both auditory and visual stimuli, is activated when the McGurk effect is taking place.
How does it relate?
If a person misunderstands what someone is trying to communicate, feelings can become broken and anxiety will develop. It is always best to repeat what the other person said so he or she can correct the misunderstanding. The MuGurk Effect portrays that visual speech communicates as much as auditory words is important . Silent words communicated by lip reading can have the same effect as spoken words. If for some reason someone's mouth shows another word then what was supposed to be spoken a person may "hear" different words other than what was said. For some reason someone's mouth shows another word than what was supposed to be spoken, "hears" a different word than what was said this can happen if someone is going to say something but says something subconsciously high and mumbles or is passive aggressive.
The McGurk effect indicates that the brain perceives visual speech as much as it does auditory speech. Mouthing words can have the same effect as speaking them, therefore what we think someone said may not be the truth.
Blaming it on paranoid, BPD, low-self esteem
McGrk Effect explains why people can tell what a person is saying underneath his or her breath. I personally have seen people do this and call that partner paranoid or blame their paranoia on BPD, depression ("you have low self-esteem so you think what I said was negative" even though they said something that was actually mean under the breath after before or after they said something in a calm way) or anxiety (this tactic is known as gaslighting)
The best thing to do to avoid conflict is to repeat back what someone said to you and when you say something make sure that person knows what you said. Always state what you need and want and don't be passive aggressive or say silly things under your breath. Walk away if you need to but to avoid conflict speak your mind instead of being passive aggressive.
