Question

Jan hears her brother say, "don't forget the *ist". Although her brother coughed while saying the last word, Jan is certain he said list. Her ability to perceive *ist as the word list is referred to as the ____ effect

a. continuous perceptionb. semantic completionc. phonemic-restorationd. phonemic-segmentation

Answer 1

c. phonemic-restoration

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'phonemic-restoration' refers to the situations where an individual restores a missing sound or word based on their perception. This restoration of the missing word which in this case is 'list' is conducted by the brain itself and the person actually believes that they heard the other person say it. The word is selected based on the previous events, the context and the perception of the one hearing it. Here, Jan perceived the coughing sound as a word due to phonemic-restoration.
