AB The word “echo” has different meanings depending upon the context. Its simplestdefinition is “a sound that is repeating after the original sound ended”(www.yourdictionary.com), yet the meaning that seems most popular makes reference tothe repetition of a sound, typically heard in big, empty spaces (mountains, caves). Inliving creatures, such as bats, the term “echo” (or echolocator) refers to self-generatedsounds that permit them to orient through labyrinthic environments in complete darkness(Wenstrup & Portfors, 2011). The noun “echolocator” is also used to designate some blindpersons who make clicking noises with their mouths and use the reflected echoes toestimate the size and distance of perceived objects and surfaces (Milne, Anello, Gooddale,& Thaler, 2015). Also in humans, the definition of echo is “one who closely imitates orrepeats another's words, ideas, or acts” (Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage,1994).
