Kindle Notes & Highlights
that your mind sees the written letters, thinks about the sounds those letters represent, and then connects these sounds to the meanings. This process is called subvocalization.
process of subvocalization can actually slow down your reading speed, because you’re trying to pronounce each word in your mind.
The aim is to decrease subvocalization. Since words are directly related to meaning, controlling what you “hear” in your mind means that you can decrease the amount of time it takes to construct meaning.
regression negatively affects your reading speed because your eyes are not moving forward all the time.
Remember that sentences, not individual words, have meaning. When your eyes stop, pause or wander, it means that you’re probably trying to derive more meaning out of an individual word rather than out of the sentence’s complete meaning.
Suboptimal physical and mental conditions • Distracting physical environment • Reading out loud • Subvocalization • Regression • Erratic eye movement
