The left side monologue sounded twice as loud. I had problems hearing even when I looked on the right side.

[@xoTalim]

Wow that was really hard, haha. I searched this up cause today in my neuroscience class we talked about dichotic listening and I wanted to see how it worked/how I would do. Cool stuff!

[@jamiesureshkumar2763]

You've worked so hard for the video! Very useful and gripping! Helped a lot! I'm wondering how much would have gone behind the scenes... Superb!

[@XRogerMellieX]

Your vid was used in our first year university psychology class. Really helpful vid!

[@yugandharv4110]

Same here

[@bunnysinc5267]

how come I am unable to drown one side out and only focus on one? I'm hearing both equally no matter how hard i try.

[@Hyro_Thod]

same

I Know this answer comes late, but in neuroscience there is a phenomenon where you look at the "lateralization of the brain". In regard to language this means, that most people fall into a category, where they tend to be "right ear, aka. left hemiphere dominant" in regard to language, or at least auditory input. Then we have most of the left-handed people, who typically show the opposite tendency. And lastly we have a small group of people that, for reasons I am not qualified to try and explain, does not seem to be "lateralized" and therefore experience trouble with dichotic test, for example. That said, some cognitive scientists would be likely to explain away this phenomenon with theories about attention. So then again, maybe you brain is actually lateralized but you have trouble with your selective attention - focusing your attention exactly where you want it when you want it. Hope that helps a little bit :)

Idk, I don't think it's a bad thing! I can hear multiple things at once. I'm actually downloading audio books and listening to one in each ear at the same time!

[@AreeshaBukhari]

When the split screen talking started, I instinctively wanted to punch you x2 lol. Great video!

[@eternalreality4346]

Thank you Allen!

[@brendawellen1314]

Thanks for taking themystery out of this!

[@dragonladyisrose7350]

My problem with the first one is that I couldn’t remember any of the words cause my memory sucks. The words and numbers, I didn’t remember the numbers, just that one side was words and the other was numbers.

[@phoebedaisy351]

I’m studying morays study for psychology and this helped so much thank you!

[@laurencevmms2443]

Hi ! i'm french and i'm studying psychology in university (lately but in France we say better late than never). i'm working on this topic for my exams happening in one week ... cause we have nothing like that in french ... so i tried to do the exercices ... but as it's not my language it's useless to say how difficult it was ! so difficult that i finally only focused on your beautiful face !!!! :D :D :D (take this just for a compliment) and thanks for your work !!

Bonjour Moi aussi je suis étudiant de psycho au Maroc nous étudions la psychologie en arabe. Voila le problème ici c'est que nos professeurs ils traduisant leur référence a partir des livres/leçons français 😂 Alors je fais Quand je cherche leur origine de ces cours j'ai trouvé plupart sont basé a partir des références et des études anglo-saxons surtout la psychologie en Amérique vraiment "Crazy" 🤪 ce que je fais encore je photocopie des livres pdf en anglais en format de papier et je suivi et essayer de comprendre bien et Cette méthodologie se fonctionne très Bieen.. En conclusion je peux comprendre et expliquer a mes collègues les leçons "To learn To teach" aussi avoir des bien Notes aux examens Hahaha

[@minaali9008]

[@ubaid436]

It was better if there were two different person, and one thing the right side speaker's voice was quite low.

[@armaankhiroya8322]

[@NewNew-xf2pm]

Did he switch the 5.17 image with the audio. The right image is playing the left audio

[@matthewgreymartin2726]

I feel like my left ear is overpowering my right

[@dianariverjackson5123]

What if you can concentrate on both simultanouesly?

[@benetiamckenzie1349]

I was tracking the right-hand side and correctly remembered pizza. however, Thought the last word was tonight Where the listed the end revealed it was the word two. may have just blended the last two words said on each speaker.

[@mwanzaMbongeni]

Right ear advantage💪🏻

[@Nina-wg2dr]

I tried this then forgot the instructions so I had to rewind wjdjfjfg btw I’m doing this because I wonder if I have adhd... been wondering for 7 years and never had the chance to diagnose.

[@casprican]

My right ear is worse than my left so that was really hard

[@tayebebonyadi2277]

[@explorewithshahab1480]

Once again i can understand the second part also

[@Lucy-il9mo]

Great video!

[@Louis_H_]

Earned my sub

[@VahidNesro]

I'm getting both. I pay attention to one at a time, but I can process one and quickly process the second one before it leaves my sensory memory. Is that possible? becuase I missed only a single word on the first trial

[@elektric3938]

You must have an iq of over 150

[@fatimahagh2110]

Amazing

[@CoachCricket]

I couldn't do either. It gave me SO MUCH anxiety that I had to pull my headphones off and not look at the screen both times. My chest still hurts :(

[@NewNew-xf2pm]

I heard the pizza one right

[@petersimon7266]

[@legion4698]
