Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Psychological Review, Vol. 2: Monograph Supplements In an age when the thinker writes his best thoughts and the investigator records his most important discoveries, when almost the sum-total of human knowledge is preserved in the form of books, and he whose ambition is scholarship spends his days in the alcoves of some great library, it needs no argument to show that a large part of the culture of modern life depends upon this source of information. If in these days ´the true university is a collection of books,´ and that university is extending indefinitely, it is clearly important that we should understand the art of gaining the most from an author´s words with the least expenditure of time and energy. We have books and articles innumerable telling us, from both the literary and the pedagogical point of view, how to read. But the psychical processes involved in reading have not been experimentally investigated. On the physiological side much has been done; but psychologically, almost nothing. The present research is an attempt to consider some of the problems which are presented in the processes of ordinary reading: for example, What are the factors which make a rapid reader? Does rapidity depend on mental capacity, alertness of mind, quickness of visual perception, amount of practice - on any or all of these? What sensory type of persons obtains and retains most - those who gain their knowledge principally through the eye, or through the ear? Some of the recent articles are: Cattell, Ueber die Zeit der Erkennung und Benennung von Schriftzeichen, Bildern und Farben, Philos. Stud., II., p.635, Ueber die Trägheit der Netzhaut und des Sehcentrums, id., III., p.94; Sanford, Relative Legibility of Small Letters, Amer. Jour. Psych., I., p. 402; Griffing, Visual Perception and Attention, Amer. Jour. Psych. VII., p.227; Griffing and Franz, On Conditions of Fatigue in Reading, Psych. Rev., III., p.5I3. A study from the psychological laboratory of the University of Wisconsin, undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Jastrow, and pursued under his sympathetic direction.
