This isn't directly related. It's likely a product of how you were taught to read. You can learn to read without it by trying to have the inner voice say something different like 'a, e, i, o, u' while reading. It takes practice but it increases your reading speed.
- weaksauce 5y agoIs comprehension changed?
- Aethylia 5y agoI don't know of any particular studies on this, but in my own experience comprehension is changed by how quickly I read, not whether the voice is used. Learning this just raises the speed limit for when you want to read easily comprehensible texts such as news or comments.
- state_less 5y agoThanks for the pro tip!
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI just reread your post with my inner voice repeating “foo” over and over. Is that the kind of thing I should practice? I don’t understand.
- Aethylia 5y agoYes that works too, probably a nicer one for the HN audience as well! If you can learn to read that way, eventually you won't need to repeat any more and you can read without the voice.
- junga 5y agoHmm, I then hear my inner voice repeating that text and shouting FOO at the same time. It makes me feel stupid because I can't stop repeating what I read.
