Has anyone else noticed that the priming persists? I didn’t understand the weird sound the first time I heard it, then got it after hearing the rest of the audio clip. I’ve listened to the clip again several days later, and I still understand the weird sound effects.
Yep, that’s part of what’s interesting about it. I think that as long as you remember the sentence, your expectations are still doing their top-down work on the samples; and since the effect itself is so memorable, you’re likely to remember them for a long time.
“As long as you remember the sentence” is a bit fuzzy, though: I remember encountering this particular sentence when I encountered this effect before (more than 14 but less than 24 months ago), but it still sounded garbled to me the first time I heard it.
