That phenomenon is an example of something called “jamais vu.” It’s basically the opposite of Deja vu, except where in Deja vu, you have a feeling that something new has happened previously, in Jamais vu, familiar things seem unfamiliar. Researchers actually use the repeated word phenomenon to study what part of the brain lights up during jamais vu, since repeating a word over and over causes it pretty often in about 60% of people.
As a high school teacher, I would like to see the dyslexia series put into a booklet form, either print or electronic. Many kids struggle with this, but feel they are alone or don’t want people to know. Some don’t even realize they hav a problem.

Say “moist” 10 times. By the 8th or 9th time, it’s no longer a word, just a noise.
