8 Against the Odds ◉READING Read the text. Then answer the questions below. Déjà vu The term déjà vu comes from French and literally means already seen. It's a feeling that people have of previously experiencing something that they couldn't have experienced before, a feeling of an overwhelming sense of familiarity with an unknown place or experience. We have all had the experience of déjà vu at one time or another. For example, when we meet people for the first time and feel that we have already met, or we have a strong sense of recollection of having said something or done something when we are actually saying or doing it for the first time. Even when we travel to faraway places for the first time, we may have the feeling that we have already been there, sometimes wearing exactly the same clothes and being with the same people. The déjà vu experience is very common. The percentage of the world's population that reports having experienced it is as high as 70 percent. The high rate of the occurrence has triggered great interest in this phenomenon. There are many different theories from psychoanalysis and psychiatry that try to explain déjà vu. Some experts believe déjà vu to be the expression of a simple fantasy or wanting to fulfill a wish. Others have offered a more scientific explanation, claiming it to be a mismatching in the brain that causes it to mistake the present for the past. A phenomenon that is the direct opposite of déjà vu, jamais vu, a French term meaning "never seen before," also occurs frequently. This is explained as a disorder in memory that creates the illusion that what should actually be very familiar is being encountered for the first time. Much research is already being done into déjà vu, but more needs to be done before it can be considered as something other than a mysterious phenomenon. وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 What are two theories mentioned in the text that have been offered to explain déjà vu? 1. 2.
