10. Speed reading and effective learning
Speed reading and effective learning are directly related to a number of factors. Here's how!
- The process of learning is equivalent to understanding the information you want to assimilate
- When you understand an information, it goes from working memory to your long-term memory
- When you need the information you learned, all you have to do is to activate it in your memory
- You can not activate information that has not already been transferred to memory and understood beforehand
- Read also the Blog post about to the functioning of the memory mechanisms and speed reading
- Fast reading is done by scrolling a text doubled by the understanding of that text
- The working memory and long-term memory mechanisms are optimized by quick reading
- The rapid reading emphasizes the processing of the meaning of the information read
- The process of understanding information is dominant over the decoding of visual information
- So, by speed reading you read faster but you also understand better what you read
- If you understand the information, it is automatically transferred to your long-term memory and you can access it at any time
- In conclusion: fast reading -> better understanding -> optimized memorizing -> easy update
- All you have to do to enjoy these all this benefits is to learn and use quick reading
- Optimizing the learning process by shortening your time and increasing memory and understanding is the most motivating factor for continuing to learn what you have proposed
- Rapid reading is just the tool to keep this motivation at optimal level
