How false info might change audio perception/behavior
In this food example, providing false feedback about the reality of
something affects later perception and behavior related to it. We have been discussing the role of hi fi mags in the feedback and formation of belief systems among audiophiles. As an editor has said, he considers his role to provide support for those belief systems as the product for his customers and wants to avoid resistance from them by being very careful not to rile the belief system. This illustrates the psychology of how such are formed and how they can change subsequent perception and behavior, as though there is valid info when there is none that can be demonstrated outside the process of belief formation in fact. The authors probably aren't making it up, they also are part of the feedback loop in the process by which the belief system is formed and continues. If you will recall, I also posted an article about research showing a similar process where soft drink users thought themselves consuming one brand using taste alone based on false visual clues, a perfect analog to the sighted "test" of which the subjective enterprise is constructed. http://today.uci.edu/news/release_detail.asp?key=1246 |
