Learn to Speed Read!

Hi, krismadden789. Good job! Here's an interesting question for debate: Is it not true that subvocalization is a critical part of the phonological loop, wich is itself an important part of working (and short-term) memory? I've heard that working memory is a significant factor in reading comprehension, particularly when reading more demanding passages. If this is true, what happens to comprehension when subarticulatory processes are supressed (and thus, STM/WM-span shortened)?

Great comment, but your question assumes that when a person reads they only utilize the phonological (articulatory) loop when comprehending portions of text.
It also assumes that the Baddeley & Hitch model for the phonological loop is fact, when really the model still being debated:Jones, D. M., Macken, W. J., & Nicholls, A. P. (2004). The phonological store of working memory: is it phonological and is it a store? Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 30, 656-674.

so when your reading you just say aeiou or 1234 and your reading fast

Damn this really works! This really made me realize that my mental pronounciation is in fact the reason I'm reading so slow!

I'm glad it helped, you can read the course book "Learn to Speed Read" on Google Books and Scirbd, or my website. It's got a lot more exercises to help out.

nah it works, before even watching this video i noticed you tend to think about saying the words without actually saying them, now i focus on the words and not how how i would pronounce em and readings way faster

My method is using Speakonia and highlighting all the sentences and hitting Ctrl-C and it will play like that. It worked that way and I'll be looking for the longest article to read on Google. (The longest I found was the Bill of Rights, sorry.)

...fail much?
im not hatin its just real wierd

this is stupid....
