    My worry with speed reading is comprehension. I also saw headline about a study that concluded that reading aloud aided comprehension better. I've found this to be the case in my experience too. When I speed read I get through the content faster but I'm less clued up on what I just read. On the other hand hearing myself read the content helps me form a mental image that will last longer, which is helpful especially when I read academically.

    On the matter of reading faster while music is playing, this is just a guess, but it may be that it interferes with sub-vocalization.
    I've noticed that if I'm attempting to remember or listen to a song in my head it becomes very difficult while a different song is playing in the background.
    As for why classical music? ...Got me.
    Maybe they're one of the best balances of easily able to interfere and ignore simultaneously.

    Sir. But what if we have to read big academics books. How to compensate for the loss of comprehension? For example, medical books have lot of terms and facts. Plz suggest to how to speed read them without loss of comprehension.

    • @madeleineluchsinger1475
      @madeleineluchsinger1475 5 років тому +23

      Practice on things that don't require as much comprehension. Once you get good at it, you start comprehending more until your comprehension rate is the same as it was before you started speed reading. My sister is an attorney and speed reads through cases so fast you'd think she didn't even look at them, and that's because she's been speed reading since college.

    • @LadyD1979
      @LadyD1979 5 років тому +8

      I agree. To read academic books sometimes one needs to read the examples to understand context.

    • @jowildcat40
      @jowildcat40 5 років тому +17

      Currently reading through an academic book 600 pages thick. I'm not worried about how fast I read it, instead I'm worried about how well I understand the key concepts. Sometimes I can spend about one day (couple hours) flying through over a hundred pages because I get it, and sometimes I'll spend a couple days on just ten pages because I need to be able to verbally explain that concept out loud with confidence and without having a doubt. When I get to this point, then I know I got it. Started a week ago and I'm less than 150 pages from completely understanding the book to its entirety.
      Key thing that I remember is that I'm looking for groups. You have big groups indicated by the table of contents, sub groups indicated by headers, smaller groups within those groups (if any), and key words and/or algorithms. Apply the techniques from this video with this in mind and you won't get bogged down on complexities.
      Lastly, understanding the why do I need to know this, for me at least, puts a subconscious need to want to know if I understand the why. Kinda like how people need to feel the value they put in their work to want to appreciate the quality. If you apply the why it needs to be explained to you, incorporating it into the groups you can understand, then it's kinda like "oh I can't forget this because I know it's there." Even if it's something extremely complicated and tough to memorize, just knowing it's there and knowing where to find it is enough mental relief to give your mind enough motivation to continue forward onto the next thing.
      Hope this helps because its been working for me, and I have a lot of fun in the process. :)

    • @SvenAERTS
      @SvenAERTS 4 роки тому +5

      Correct, different types of books require their own strategy and speed of reading. Adapt your strategy. What does help is to read in "waves": words that belong together i.e. till you reach a word that puts a pause or connects 1 part to another part of the sentence. Your foveal view can indeed read without moving your eye these "chunks of words" and the reading rhythm of the waves helps to increase speed and keep focus and understanding.

    Get a metronome, between two signals you read on line. Now you put it as quick, that you are so fast that you can barely get what the meaning of the text is, now you put it a little higher, so you dont get the meaning of the text anymore. Now you keep reading with that speed until you start to get the meaning of what you read, then you put it quicker again. By that technique, called "drill" you always train on the edge. Its just to train, not to actually read what you read. So lets say you can barely understand the core when using 70 ticks per minute, then you go up to 75 and keep reading at that speed, until you understand most at 75 ticks. Now you can read at 75ticks/minute. Keep doing that until you reached a good speed. You should train 30mins a day for just a few weeks, to already get massive results.

    @Egoistic_girl 3 роки тому +1

    Except for sub-vocalisation, and pointing the words, maybe the music one too but it doesn't work on me, those techniques aren't speed reading, they are about skipping words. Skimming through text can give better comprehension, especially if you read the table of content and titles, but if you read something like phenomenology, actually reading will be better. Also if you plan to skim through the text of a novel, doesn't that remove the pleasure of reading a novel ?
    There's a wikipedia article on speed reading, the speed reading competitors have been tested in studies and they have ridiculously low comprehension of the text they "read". It's more about being able to flip the pages fast than reading fast.
    So, if you're a slow reader like me (140words per minute), you can try these tips, but don't fool yourself and read properly. I personally think it's more relevant to retain more than 50% of a book and reading it slowly than barely understanding what you read.

    1:20 Uhhh.. That's actually the opposite to what I've read and have learned. Music, especially music with lyrics, distracts you and therefore slows you down. However, I agree with the classical music note as I've also heard about that one.
    So, yeah, my tip is to remove distractions. Whatever they may be. It really helps when reading/studying, as you will waste less time being distracted, not reading.

    He actually talked about *speed* reading. You read the middle of the sentence, then train your peripherals to read the corners
