Here’s a summary of a recent study that suggests that sounds people hear (and by this I assume they mean the internal auditory phenomenology) can vary depending on what words people read when they hear the sounds.
The more I encounter these cognitive science studies about how our ordinary perceptual experiences can be fooled under certain experimental conditions, the more convinced I am that recent work in experimental philosophy aimed at showing that there is something wrong with relying on intuitions fails.
At a minimum, I think some explanation is needed as to why these cognitive science studies on ordinary perception don’t show us that there is something wrong with relying on our ordinary perceptual inputs.
