This study introduces a nonlinear dynamical model for the verbal transformation effect, an auditory illusion. The model accurately replicates the complex phonemic variations observed in this perceptual phenomenon.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Auditory Perception
  • Dynamical Systems Theory

Background:

  • The verbal transformation effect is an auditory perceptual illusion where repeated listening to a word leads to hearing different words.
  • Existing models often focus on simpler perceptual illusions with fewer alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a nonlinear dynamical model based on synergetics to explain the verbal transformation effect.
  • To extend a previous synergetic model used for visual ambiguous figures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized principles of synergetics to create a nonlinear dynamical model.
  • Extended the model to accommodate a larger number of alternative phonemic structures characteristic of the verbal transformation effect.
  • Derived model properties using basic psychophysical principles.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully accounts for the properties of the verbal transformation effect.
  • Demonstrated a strong agreement between the model's predictions and empirical data from previous studies.
  • The model's ability to handle numerous phonemic alternatives was a key extension.

Conclusions:

  • The developed synergetic model provides a robust framework for understanding the auditory verbal transformation effect.
  • The model's success highlights the applicability of nonlinear dynamical systems to complex auditory perception.
  • Further research can explore the model's potential for other auditory illusions.
