Professors who grade the same exam dozens or hundreds of times probably experience semantic satiation (explained in the body of the post).
Semantic satiation happens when repeating word or a phrase over and over makes it temporarily lose its meaning. This was first written about in the psychological literature by Titchener, in case you search it online and find that name.
Because word repetition causes defusion (in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy way), these professors could actually be more cognitively flexible than other people, at least in terms of whatever it is that they're grading.
I'd imagine lots of professions get this. Basically any ofession with lots of repeated text. I've gotten this a couple times while programming.
Security logs for me. "[hour] performed patrol. All well." Repeated hundreds of times per week .
What are you programming to get this lol
Program a widget builder. Couple days of really focusing you'll realize that widget is a very weird word. WidgetBuilder IsWidget ModifyWidget ect
It doesn't happen much. But in a language with more boilerplate, like Java, it can happen very rarely.
Hmm, been a java dev for over 6 years and have never had that happen :D I can recommend intellisense and Lombok for the boiler plate though.
So if I experience Semantic Satiation through listening C418's Semantic Satiation to the point of Semantic Satiation I can change the context of Semantic Satiation and other ideas through training in Semantic Satiation?
I wonder how many times I'll have to listen to Semantic Satiation, it feels like one of the most repeated factlets, to achieve Semantic Satiation
I'm already looking at the word "Satiation"and thinking that looks weird but I can still think of what Satiation and Semantic Satiation means, does that count as Semantic Satiations?
Plan. Plan? Plan. Plan.
