Dictation: Fingers Know When You Type Wrong
原文
Whether you're a hunt-and-peck typist or a Rachmaninoff of the keyboard, you will make mistakes. But it's not just your eyes catching typos when you see them on the screen. Your hands know when you mess up too. That’s according to a study in the journal Science. [Gordon Logan and Matthew Crump, "Cognitive Illusions of Authorship Reveal Hierarchical Error Detection in Skilled Typists"]
Researchers recruited expert typists-college students, of course-and showed them 600 five-letter words, one at a time. And they asked the students to type those words as quickly and accurately as possible. But sometimes, the researchers inserted typos in the word as it appeared on screen, when the students hadn’t made one. Other times they automatically corrected typos the students did make.
And the students tended to believe the screen. So if a typo had been added, they figured they must have messed up. If a typo had been corrected they thought they typed it right. But the hands didn't fall for it. When the fingers slipped up, they paused a split second longer than usual before typing the next letter. But they didn't pause when fake typos appeared on-screen only. So we apparently have two discrete mechanisms guarding against typing errors, one visual, the other tactile. To fox quick brown fixes. To fix quick brown foxes.

Whether you are hunting pack typist, or rockin that on the keyboards, you will make mistake. But it's not just your eyes catching typle when you see on the screen, your hand know where is up to.
Researchers recuit expert typists, college students of course, and show them six hundred five letter words one of the time. And ask students type those words as quicklly as possibile. But sometimes researchers has insert certain of words appear on the screen when the student had made one. Other time they have correct typle when student me. And student tend to believe the screen, so as typle add they fingure they must type start, for typle had been corrected, they thought they typed right. But hands didn't hold for when the fingure slap down they pass the split second longer unusual before typing the next letter. So we apparently have two discrit mechanism describing typing. The fax quick brown fix, the fix quick brown fox
