ok not sure whether this is the right place for this...someone emailed this to me (apologise if you have already seen it) and i think it is really interesting

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't
mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny
iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the
rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed
it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed
ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

:( sorry...

i think it shows how amazing the brain is, and that there is sooo much we do not know about our brains...and the psychological aspect and also the implications for teaching

Indeed it has been about a for a couple of months but not everyone goes to your campus or to the site I saw it posted so its something that can still be interesting to others.
It's a strange thing indeed but probably explains why I can read some of the rubbish that my Nephew leaves notes on my PC about ;)

no need for a researcher to tell us that, i knew that it was the case, yep i did read it mentally without correcting it.

I read it anyway, but slower than normal and my brain did start to get a little confused :( still get the meaning though.

Aparently you can spead read a book by reading the five words on each side of the centre fold and still understand what is going on.... can't say i have tried it myself though!

I found it easier and quicker to read than the 'correct' version would have been :)

Then again I am dyslexic ;)

my question is why do they make dyslexia such a hard word to spell! hardly seems fair does it!?!

Just a thought, if the mind can organise letters into words that make sense, what about pictures and other things, and how big a word can it cope with.


Gonna be up a while now thinking :D oh well, back to the fridge to see my good mate Mr. Carling :pp

It's cool, these clever guys called McClelland & Rumelhart made a neural network model of it in the late 80s, with very impressive results :) - it could also learn grammar as well, in its own special way :Yikes:

No, it would be 'mrege', 'mgree' or 'mrgee', you need to keep the first and last letters the same ;)
