DAF Delayed Auditory Feedback 1.2.1

Try saying "toy boat" repeatedly. It can be quite challenging due to words like this that might bring extra stress during important presentations.

With this app, the phrase "toy boat" becomes extremely difficult to articulate. Contrary to what you might expect, it actually intensifies the challenge. This application falls into the category of serving niche purposes.

What this application essentially does is utilize Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) by capturing your voice via the microphone and playing it back through headphones or earphones with a slight delay.

Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) is recognized for its intriguing impacts on speech, making articulation tougher. Consequently, uttering the already tricky "toy boat" turns into a notably strenuous task with DAF in play.

From a cognitive psychology standpoint, this seemingly niche app offers an engaging perspective on a unique phenomenon. While DAF doesn't uniformly complicate speech, its disruptive effect varies based on factors like delay duration and speech patterns.

This app stands as a straightforward tool for conducting psychological experiments, allowing you to explore the most pronounced effects of DAF firsthand by utilizing yourself as the subject. Test different conditions using "toy boat" as your benchmark.

• Important: Be sure to use headphones or earphones with a microphone while using this app; these cannot be substituted with the device's internal microphone and speakers.

It is essential to reiterate that you cannot substitute the device's built-in microphone and speakers with headphones or earphones with a microphone while using this application.
