How do our brains process speech? Gareth Gaskell

The average 20-year-old knows between 27, 000 and 52, 000 different words. Spoken out loud, most of these words last less than a second. With every word, the brain has a quick decision to make: which of those thousands of options matches the signal? And about 98% of the time, the brain chooses the correct word. How is this possible? Gareth Gaskell digs into the complexities of speech comprehension.

I speak Dutch and English fluently. Still, when I try to explain something in Dutch that I've either learned in English or am used to talk about in English I find myself occasionally having lost the Dutch translation for it. Sometimes I think the English word might have overwritten the Dutch one.

With my poor hearing, my brain is constantly trying to figure out a word. It eventually inserts, what it thinks is correct, a word. Often it has nothing to do with the actual word. I often get a completely different meaning to what was said.

I think the fact is we can memorize a new word after multiple nights of sleep by listening or practicing them frequently in various contexts during the days. For me, otherwise, I hardly remember a new word I googled while watching a video.

Is this the reason why when I wake up in the morning, my head is hotter than during the rest of the day (unless I have been in the hot sun or other external cause?
