    Finally(!!) an objective, scientific view of 'speed reading'. Free of salesmanship, testimonials and buy-now hype. This channel is so refreshing!! Even though I have an advanced scientific degree I've struggled with reading since childhood. I always used the multiple-cut method: read several times but at deeper and deeper levels of comprehension. Thank you very much for dispelling many myths. Thank You!

    I have my own way for speed reading. Here is what I do. When I read a line from left to right, I do not move my eyes in a linear pattern. Instead, I go in zigzag pattern on each line. This is less tiring than linear reading. Advantageously, zigzag reading prevents you missing lines.
    At the start of each line of paragraph, I place my eyes ABOVE the first word and then BELOW the next few words, next back up ABOVE another few more words, back down below next more words. At the end of each line, your eyes should be BELOW the last words. From there, when you move to next line, move your eyes on blank space between two lines, right to left on a linear pattern. Go zigzag from left to right when reading, and go linear from right to left when moving onto next line. And so on.

    One thing to remember is that it doesn't matter how fast or how slow you read you're still going to need to read the material 3 to 4 times before you begin to have a good understanding of it. That's why taking notes as you read really helps in recall. Remember learning to read faster is a skill like any other. So, take your time and learn how to do it properly and you'll come away learning a lot over time.

    Summary
    1. You can really only focus on one or two words at a time, with maaaybe a few bonus letters one either side. Physical limit. Can't read with peripheral vision. Only central vision: foveal vision.
    1a. Lingering on words for few 100ms.
    1b. If meaningful, fixation occurs.
    1c. If not meaningful, eye saccades aka saccadic motion.
    2. Regressions are episodes of review. Jumping back from time to time, helps connect what you just read with something you read earlier.

    You do know there are options on say the app play book (note, I didn't say playboy) that is available on your browser on computers, laptops, tables, and Android phones, where you can customize the screen to be two pages. You can then tweak the size of the letters or sentence spaces. That way you can fit as much as a regular book, depending on the size of your device; less or more.

    I have an unrecognized 2e condition involving a gift for logic and a learning disability based on a short term memory disability.
    I was almost misdiagnosed with Reading Comprehension Disorder as a child before starting the first grade and was only saved from that misdiagnosis due to a fervent argument against that diagnosis from my father who had reversed that conclusion.
    Case in point, shortly before taking that test I had learned Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity, General Relativity, some Astronomy and Cosmology, sans the math from two older brothers who were science majors and both of whom scored perfect SATs.
    The lessons were real and so was my perfect comprehension of the material. Otherwise why would I have been so hooked begging them to teach me everything they could about modern science or why would they have bothered teaching it to me if I didn't understand the material.
    After taking the test, I can see why I was misdiagnosed and why my 2e condition was never recognized.
    Please consider if your short term memory was next to non-existent how well would you fair on answering those questions testing comprehension, or if you only had long term memory to work with and tried to commit the entire passage to long term memory then the reading rate would look even worse.
    I fear that children with my condition are also being misdiagnosed so I would desperately like to discuss matter further with those who might be able to make some easy changes in the standard testing methods, possibly to only identify those with poor comprehension or more likely creating another test to separate poor comprehension from poor short term memory recall. I can be contacted at TakenItEasy@protonmail.com if anyone who reads this could help me resolve this problem or suggest a person to contact.
    Thank you very much for your consideration.

    6:07 My mom does that, although maybe not always.

    One thing I do that helps my reading speed, is to read long texts as if I see their abbreviations. For example, I know the International Disability Rights Affirmation Conference, by the abbreviation IDRAC. So, I read the former as if I see the latter.

  • @Tennouseijin
    @Tennouseijin 5 лет назад

    Regarding the statement that you can't read with your peripheral vision: I'm wondering if this assumption is not underestimating one fact. When speed reading, one generally pays little to no attention to 'meaningless' words such as 'the', prepositions, and similar words that you can still understand the text without having actually read those words. Now, knowing the language we can expect where in a sentence those words would appear, and our peripheral vision, while blurry, can give enough information for our brain to confirm this, concluding "the next word is probably unimportant, you can skip it"
    Thus, I think techniques that try to improve reading speed by making better use of peripheral vision should, I think, give better results than scientific estimates based on the size of the fovea would suggest. Yes, you can't "read" with peripheral vision, but it doesn't mean peripheral vision can't speed up reading. At least that's what I'd assume. Would I be wrong?
    Especially considering long words, words starting with capital letters, words written in bold, cursive etc. are often more important to understanding a text, and peripheral vision can draw our attention to those words. Similarly, when searching for a specific word in a text, peripheral vision can quickly give our brain enough information to discern which words could and which could not be the one we're searching for, so we don't have to focus on each word on the page when searching.

    Yes, you can read faster on a PC or Mac - if the text is copyable and pastable (for instance from a text orientated PDF - note some PDF files are saved as pictures, and hence the text is uncopyable) then of course you can read faster, with text to speech - Balabolka reads to you simultaneously, and you can speed up the rate of the voice, to the point you can still understand the paragraphs in the sections, in the chapters. but it is incredible, nor more trial in reading, you are too busy focusing on what has been mentioned, as your eyes follow along.

    I can't read and comprehend a single thing without doing sub-vocalization, The louder I read to myself the better I understand. I currently doing senior year of college and even though I speak and write two languages( French is my second language) , I am unable to read either of them fluently without sub-vocalizing.
    I tried the speed test on the website you recommended and got a cumulative average speed of 130 words per minute. These result are a little frustrating to me given the average adult reading speed on that website is 200-300 WPM (6 grader level) and 350 to 450 WPM for a college student. :-(
