Chris A Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The 'loudness' of our thoughts affects how we judge external sounds Quote "...auditory imagery will decrease the sensitivity of actual loudness perception...that is, after imagined speaking in your mind, the actual sounds you hear will become softer -- the louder the volume during imagery, the softer perception will be..."

baron167 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Ha! Yes, I must admit I let the voice in my head be louder than person talking to me. It works the other way, too. A louder sound source will take over my bandwidth. Sometimes that’s preferable as you allude to lol.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Loud? I guess it really depends on which internal voice I am listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So . . . if you imagine dad screaming "Turn down that gosh darn music" you perceive the music as being actually turned down. Of course then you have to turn it up. Then the real dad asks you why you turned the music up so loud. The teen says, because I imagined you were yelling at me to turn it down. Dad walks away perplexed. This explains a lot of teen behavior WMcD (some edits) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 And folks in the field wonder why psychology isn't thought of as a real science. PWK said it best: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
