Semantic satiation

Psychological phenomenon where repeated exposure to a word or phrase causes it to temporarily lose its meaning, making it seem like meaningless sounds to the listener. This occurs due to neural fatigue in the brain's representation of the word, leading to a temporary disconnect between the word and its meaning. Semantic satiation is often studied in the context of cognitive psychology and linguistics to understand how the brain processes language and meaning.
