[edit]Category:Pseudoscience on the grounds that said epithet (a highly, and often unfairly, stigmatizing epithet, IMO) was unwarranted, based on the content of the article. Okay?--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 02:20, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Types of reading
[edit]I mean... I use mental reading and I'm at 750 WPM regularly.... Should add in something there that says that those rules aren't so rigid, that those numbers are just average. 24.244.29.53 (talk) 16:07, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- 700wpm reports based on Rapid serial visual presentation shows that content contains legit info, cant find a comprehensive source though.
Howard Berg mentions "schema". Anybody has a link to a wikipedia article on this and we have to mention that in the article hear
[edit]Herewith an assist:
Howard Berg - a fast reading and learning prodigy - mentions "schema" (psychology), as a factor that influences reading speed. The more you know about what you read, the more your brain can pull-up related knowledge and the easier facts stick in the memory. And for reasonings that are made in the article or facts that are mentioned, the (speed) readers can skim-read "jump" over those phrases and paragraphs, because they already know about them and scan the text for new facts to them or viewpoints and words or word-combinations not previously seen in the articles' context.
Anybody with time to weave mention it that in the article here. Thy --SvenAERTS (talk) 22:21, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
therein lies the "rub"
[edit]the aforementioned howard berg was on the old jon stewart show, where he kept calling it "book rubbing", and spoke of chapters of "book rubbers" getting together.
i thought that maybe i was mishearing "book lovers", but no, he later made innuendo-laden cracks making it clear that the word was indeed "rubbing".
i'm guessing it comes from the idea of sliding your hand down the page as a reading guide?
even so, i cannot find even ONE use of the term anywhere online! anyone have any insight? 2601:18A:807C:1C40:4D68:7722:C5DC:4EF4 (talk) 03:16, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
