Does photoreading work?
In January of 2000 Dr. Danielle S. McNamara submitted a preliminary report to the NASA Ames Research Center on photoreading. McNamara enrolled in a PhotoReading workshop under the tutelage of an expert who, in three years, had trained about 150 individuals in PhotoReading. The trainee spent two months learning the PhotoReading technique. The two participants named in the study were "(a) the PhotoReading trainee who participated ina two-day photoreading workshop, and (b) the photoreading expert who provided the PhotoReading workshop." (McNamara 4). The study design included two normal pretests, followed by parallel versions of five reading tests employing the PhotoReading technique. One test was the Nelson Reading Comprehension Test (forms G and H) and the Verbal Reasoning section of the MCAT. The other two tests were generated by the experimenter. This study tests only difficult expository texts because "PhotoReading has been claimed to be particularly effective for this type of text" (McNamara 5). The texts used here involve subjects like physiology, perception, and biology. Each question from these texts were generated around a single idea or sentence within each text. According to McNamara "The information in the text that is targeted by the question generally requires little prior knowledge and little active processing of the text to understand" (McNamara 6). The results of the study generally follow the pattern that PhotoReading and normal reading require a similar amount of time to complete. For example, the expert scored 37 of 38 possible questions correct with normal reading taking 19.43 minutes to do so. Then the expert took a similar test after PhotoReading the passage and scored a 38 out of 38 possible questions correct in a time of 18.13 minutes. McNamara took the same test, and scored a 92% both times. However, photoreading took 21.30 minutes whereas regular reading took 15.80 minutes. These results show that photoreading can work, but they do not support the 25,000 words per minute claims. In a text about perception, the expert took 8.82 minutes to read the text using normal reading. Then, he photoread the text in 0.87 minutes and proceeded to read the text for another 8.12 minutes before he completed the process. In the text involving normal reading he answered three questions correctly out of eight. Photoreading, he scored only 1 out of 8 correctly. These results do not support assertions that Photoreading help one study faster and with greater comprehension than with ordinary reading techniques. To conclude the study, McNamara noted that, "In terms of words per minute (wpm) spent reading, there was no difference between normal reading (M = 114 wpm) and PhotoReading (M=112 wpm)" (10). So why is it that so many people tout photoreading? In her conclusion, McNamara states that, "One aspect of the PhotoReading technique is that it leaves the reader with a false sense of confidence." (12).
How does Eye-Q help improve speed reading for a person?
"Eye-Q is a ""brain enhancement"" program that uses different eye and brain exercises to increase reading speed and increases ones abilities to process information more quickly."
Can you increase the speed on a speed hack program?
Yes, only on some stuff
When you are optimizing program operation which action provides the greatest speed increase?
Analysis.
Who is the author of Breakthrough Rapid Reading?
Breakthrough Rapid Reading was authored by numerous professionals in the academic field. The software is designed to help a person increase their reading speed.
How do you make reading plus go slow?
To make Reading Plus go slow, you can adjust the speed at which the text scrolls on the screen by using the speed control feature within the Reading Plus program. This will allow you to set a slower pace for reading the text.
Can you increase the speed on a speed hack program Edit Where would i find the delay in the program?
It depends on the design of the program. Usually programs designed to slow down games do so by introducing a delay as an interupt. If you can chage the rate of the interupt then you can alter the speed that the game runs at.
How do you increase your fastball pitch in softball?
If you've had your mechanics checked and is consistent with your pitches conditioning is next for you. Having a conditioning program will surely increase your speed. A program focusing on core, leg strength will help.
If a free falling ball is somehow equipped with a speedometer by how much would its speed reading increase for every second?
The speed reading on the speedometer would increase by approximately 9.8 meters per second for every second the ball falls, assuming it is falling under only the force of gravity. This rate of increase is due to the acceleration of gravity pulling the ball downwards.
Is speed reading real?
Yes, speed reading is a technique that involves reading quickly without sacrificing comprehension. It typically involves minimizing subvocalization (saying words in your head while reading) and utilizing techniques like chunking and skimming to increase reading speed. While some people may naturally read faster than others, speed reading can be learned and improved with practice.
