Do we know what's going on in the brain that makes this happen?

There's two schools of thought.

One is that it's a thing called overshadowing, which is where the kids are hearing something and seeing something, but they're processing that auditory information much, much more, so to speak, than the visual.

And so when they go to recall what they've seen, they just have access to way more auditory information than visual information.

The other school of thought is something called response competition, and that's where they process both signals just fine, but when they get asked then to make a response, They just rely on what they hear for whatever reason.

Maybe it's a more salient emotional cue for them.

So we're going to dig in and a lot of different variations of this experiment to basically find out what's happening.

I mean, should this change anything about, I don't know, how things are done in schools or what parents should do?
