But that's not what the evidence you cited supports. The evidence you cited weighs against the _comprehension_ claims of speed-reading practitioners. That's fine, but I'm not defending those claims. I'm merely reacting to your suggestion that we can't _perceive/recognize_ things in parallel, and instead recognize words serially by saccading. This can be immediately disproven, just by trying the no-saccade line at a time technique of speed readers, and noting that one does in fact recognize all the words on a line, simultaneously/in parallel. > If one reads a lot, > one forms chunks up to the size of phrases. Of course, but that's a subsequent stage; to form primitives into chunks, one must first recognize the primitives. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=56458830-31b7f7
