listen whilst watching.....then with your eyes shut.
Interesting how when listening to someone your brain give priority to what you see as opposed to what you hear.
Never knew I could lip read.

You can´t, that is the point. He said Ba Ba but when you watched his lips it sounded like Da DA
I think :huh:
I didn't watch it, although I've seen things like this before.
You can lipread - a little. But since you don't rely on it, you probably haven't developed it very far as a sole means of interpretation. Example - even with the TV on mute, I'll bet you know when somebody says "Tango You". If we don't lipread even to a small extent, how would you have known he didn't say "green cat"? It would make mouthing insults at people from your car completely pointless otherwise.
We use mouth shapes to reaffirm the words we're hearing without having to focus as hard on the sound itself. The film shown undoubtedly has somebody saying 'da da', even though the sound played back with it actually says "ba ba" - it's a nice little psychological trickery.

oh yeah? I saw an example on tv. They put you in the shoes of a barman in a noisy pub listening to the order of some bloke. When you could not see blokes mouth you missed most of the order.... when they did it again but this time could see blokes mouth I got the entire order..... wow I learnt something off TV :-)
