My brain takes two attempts to analyze what was said sometimes? Either I'll have no clue what was said or I'll think something nonsensical was said, but it takes a bit for that second attempt at processing to happen and sometimes I respond based on the initial pass because I think I need you to repeat it.

Do you just understand things immediately generally or do you lack echoic memory, preventing you from making a second processing attempt?

The first one. My brain automatically caches info and provides me with an instant analysis whenever it detects a synthesizing trigger data point in the convo. It’s super useful at work. However if I happen to be reading teams messages or whatever, and someone on a video call asks me a question at the same time, I’m 90% likely to have no idea what they said.
