ent three experiments aimed at testing this interpretation. In Experiment 1, we replicated the original findings by Kerzel and Bekkering but with audible syllables. In Experiments 2 and 3, we tested the results of Experiment 1 under more stringent conditions, with different materials and different experimental designs.
In all of our experiments, we found the same result: Perceiving syllables affects ...
