It seems unobvious to me.
In one experiment, people looked at video screens with animated dots and described whether they saw them going up or going down. Separately, they read the sentences "It is going up" or "It is going down" without any visuals.
In watching the dots go up, their pitch rose as they followed the action, and lowered when the dots went down. The same thing also happened when they read the sentences.
I wouldn't have guessed this, nor have I heard anyone theorize that we unintentionally dramatize descriptions like that.
If people would stop talking about cats, maybe I could lose this "Cat came back" earworm. It's been days.
If we did, it would just come back the very next day...

If you let the dogs out, maybe they'll chase the cats away.

For whatever reason (the rhyme with Snakes on a Plane?) I've had "driving that train, high on cocaine" running through my head all morning.

At first I read this as "cat" for "cake". I wonder why.
If only Gerry Garcia had lived long enough for the Grateful Dead to do the soundtrack to SoaP....
I am earworm proof this morning.
Is it a given that The View must replace Starr with another black woman? Every time I catch a glimpse, the guest host they are testing out is black.
And this one's crazy. But that's a whole 'nother story.
