The paomnnehil pweor of the hmuan mnid.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe, within context.

Amzanig huh?

  1. Wow…the amazing thing is I caught all of that except : paomnnehil

    I still can’t imagine twhat thats supposed to be. Maybe the fact that I am slightly dislexic is hindering the approach…

  4. Yup, same here. I got everything but phenominal, but then I guessed it after. All I can say is that top-down processing is truely amazing and I wonder what my cognition prof would think of that…

  5. I missed phenominal as well, but was amazed on how I could read the rest. I think the reason most people miss phenominal when looking at “paomnnehil” is because of the intended pronounciation of “f” and the presented one of “p”.
