Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario described fits the definition of the McGurk effect, which is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when the auditory and visual components of speech contradict each other, resulting in the perception of a third, hybrid sound. In this case, the viewer hears "da" even though the visual component shows the speaker saying "ga," because of the overlapping auditory cue of "ba."
