One of these shapes is a booba and one is a kiki. Which is which?

The kiki has the spikes.

The word " onomatopoeia " refers to words the mimic sounds.
Bang, crash, ting, boom etc.
Everyone gets that, no problem - right?

Then tell me why many musicians I come across have no idea what the words " hum", " hiss " and " buzz" refer to ?
They all use the term "noise" but cannot go further.

But it is a speech pathology test. I actually know a speech
pathologist.

Why a word? Why not just a consonant or a vowel? Fricative.
Sibilant. Tone. Musical note.

Circle. Square. etc.

A word or scribbled figure is just too big a step.

Audiophools ( nearly all male) regularly cite the *alleged* opinions of absent female partners to " prove " the existence of non existent audible differences. IMO the phenomenon needs a name.

Perhaps a similar matter as groups that only count, 1, 2, many. If the sound is not music, they don't care what it sounds like. If it's not the sounds they are trying to make, it is an evil sound. Why do they need to know more about than that in their mind?

I can see why you would not be able to appreciate that.

Singers may hum, snakes hiss and bees buzz.

The little quiz was presented to me by a speech pathologist. She works
with all kinds of speech problems, including verbal apraxia, which is
correlated to a nonstandard or nonresponsive reaction to the kiki
booba test. Most people instantly say jagged=kiki. I thought it was an
interesting neural path.

She also deals with errors of kinesthesis, knowing where your body
parts are.

Does anyone here have synesthesia? What sounds and colors are a
schematic?

Lots of engineers stutter. That must mean something. Great movie, "The
King's Speech."

One of my sisters had a bad case of dyslexia as a kid--she couldn't
spell for beans. All on her own, as a young teenager she taught herself
to spell using coloured crayons, which matched her colour impression of
words. The patterning worked--she now spells very well.

(She was also helped by a speech pathologist.)

This test specifically employs meaningless words.

I wish PADS would let me use colors on a schematic.

I can color layers and nets/power pours in the PCB layout program,
which really helps.

Hey, just realized after all these years, I could assign a color to
nets/traces that need impedance control, or fat traces, for my layout
people.

We do that on the CAD schematics using highlighters. For instance,
traces that need to be Faraday-caged, e.g. inside SMPSes, get "the pink
treatment", named after the highlight colour.

Dogs solve differential equations when they catch Frisbees, so
it's not TOO surprising that people subconsciously associate
2D Fourier transforms on images with 1D transforms on sounds.

They catch the Frisbee, so they have solved the differential equations.

It looks more like analog computation, rather than digital, but it is being carried out in nerve cells just like ours which are bistable. It's just not any kind of formal mathematical analysis (which only precedes the process of solving specific differential equation anyway - any specific situation needs it own specific computation.

I've not run into anybody else who does it. Phil does seem to be uniquely psychopathic. If he is somewhere on the autism spectrum, he could be expected to get the finer details of social interaction subtly wrong - not that there's anything subtle about that salutation.

Since Phil snipped all but the first clause of my sentence, any claim that he might be making to have a sane point of view is obviously deluded. Autisitc people are not good at social interaction, and Phil is brilliant at ant-social interaction.

Because selective snipping can make even the most sensible observation look like insane crap. It's called text-chopping, and you do make a habit of it.

But my response was perfectly sane - the insanity here is all Phil's, some of it contributed by more of his text-chopping.

> > Autistic people are not good at social interaction,

Not a feature mentioned in clinical discussion of autistic behavior. Any interaction with other people is social, and autism is a state in which every such interaction is handled inexpertly.

Phil's over-reaction here would be a prime example.

> FOAD you delusional, senile pile of shit.

That's more like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome

but Phil does make a habit of it, so it's more like an error of judgement than an involuntary tic. Another inexpertly handled social interaction.
