restoration effect

restoration effect

a phenomenon in which the mind nonconsciously restores information missing from a stimulus. The best known example is the so-called phonemic restoration effect, in which the perceiver fails to notice that certain phonemes have been masked out in speech recordings. The restoration effect is considered evidence of top-down processing.
