UNJUMBLED SCRIPT:
Hello everyone.
Are you a little confused that you can understand what I am writing?
It does not make sense that you can read all of these words.
Or maybe it does.
Let’s take a look at this meme from 2003 that gives us an explanation of this phenomenon.
"According to a researcher at Cambridge University, it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be at the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself but the word as a whole."
Now at first glance, this makes a lot of sense.
Essentially, all of the words that I am writing right now have the first and last letter in the correct place.
A cognitive process called typoglycemia helps us decode the inner letters of these words by using the outside letters as clues to what the word is.
It should be noted that the theory behind typoglycemia only seems to be correct and is not widely studied.
But having the first and last letter in the right place does not really tell the whole story.
For example, let’s take the below words: teenage, council
Pretty hard to decipher at first, right?
Comment what you think the words are below. I want to see if you can guess them.
While it is helpful to keep the first letter and last letter of each word in the correct place, it does not tell us the entire story when it comes to more complicated words that are more jumbled or less common.
This is because our brain likes to predict what sentences are going to say.
It is easy to read the sentence “I drove a car down the street”, but harder to read “I drove a car down the crocodile”.
This is because the second sentence is never used and our brain has a hard time contextualizing the last word.
The harder it is to predict, the harder it is to understand.
Our brains also chunk information together to help decipher meanings.
Chunking is the reason why you are not reading every individual letter when you read a sentence.
Instead, you are reading every single word as a whole.
This allows us to ignore spelling sometimes since we are seeing words as chunks.
So let us review what your brain has to do in order to read what I’m writing right now.
First, your brain has to chunk the letters in the word together to form a whole word.
Then, it has to decode the word through typoglycemia.
Finally, it has to predict what the next word will be in the sentence.
And the process keeps repeating.
In conclusion, it is fun to read jumbled words and our magical brains allow us to do it with general ease.
If you got a headache from this video, don’t worry. I have the unjumbled version of the script in the description below.
Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time.

Maybe you have dyslexia but the words are already reversed so you just reversed them back to normal

@@MindfulThinks Awesome! Glad to hear it.
There is only one word in this video that i completely lost it and that one word is "contextualizing". For the rest, I can read it easily (even though there are parts where i can read it only if i slow down my pace a bit) I wonder if other people failed at the word "contextualizing" too. Its just a bit long, complicated and too jumbled up for non-English people to read it lol, especially because we as non-English peaple are more unfamiliar with that word.

I agree being of multi language but British English 1st . And this reminds me of the high IQ learning curve of some of my Asian musician friends who show me how reading sheet music is like learning to read in visual shapes of other languages. Just amazing.
