Thanks for the listen. All of my tests are always using Youtube's playback controls btw. Were you able to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast at 2x? Skip somewhere in the middle and listen for 15 seconds maybe. You are right in that I speak slower in that video. Most of my more recent Youtube videos are unscripted so I'm just thinking about things with zero preparation, where as I script my courses word for word (which leads to faster speaking generally) but I don't have any course videos with the same audio equipment to compare side by side. I didn't read the paper but I wonder what they classify comprehension as. Personally I wouldn't listen to hardcore technical things at 2x because understanding the words isn't usually the goal of listening to it. It would be to fully absorb and understand what you're listening to so you can apply it on your own later. There's a big difference between a mechanical understanding of the words and really "getting" what you're listening to. I typically reserve 2x for listening to tech talks where my goal is to get a high level overview of something quickly.
