| Video Discription | Rapid Serial Visual Presentation is the new fad in speed reading. It is supposed to make you a better reader in the 21st century. Can you keep up? Join our Community! Like on FB: https://www.facebook.com/MindfulThinks/ Transcription: Hello everyone. Today we will be talking about rapid serial visual presentation or RSVP for short. RSVP eliminates the need to move your eyes across text when reading and increases the number of words you can read per minute. Right now we are reading at a third grade pace, so let’s speed this up a bit. Still with me? Now we are reading at an eighth grade pace. In addition to reduced eye movement, RSVP reduces subvocalization. Subvocalization is when read out loud in your head. With this method you simply don’t have the time to process subvocalization. You also don’t have the chance to backtrack and check words you may have missed like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Catch that? Of course not. In one study, Elizabeth Schotter and colleagues tested partipants’ reading comprehension when their ability to reread words was taken away. The researchers did this by using an eye tracker and replacing the words the participant already looked at with Xs. They found that when the participants could not reread words in a sentence their comprehension of the sentence suffered. Now we are reading at an average adult speed. If you don’t think I’ll push the bounds of your reading speed by the end of this video you are sadly mistaken. Despite the research suggesting that RSVP leads to poor reading comprehension, companies like Spritz and Spreeder have created RSVP solutions that could possibly help consumers read faster on more devices. Particularly RSVP companies believe smartwatches could benefit from this technology as their screens cannot fit many words at one time. Is this meaningless innovation since reading faster doesn’t mean reading better? Maybe. We are reading at an average college student speed at this point and I think we can agree this is hard. If you have kept up so far I am impressed. This isn’t easy to do on the first try. Which leads to the thought that maybe all we need to do to learn how to read this way is practice. The average college professor reads around this speed. Unless a bunch of PhDs or very fast readers subscribe to my channel, I’m going to assume I lost most of you at this point. Therefore, I will just use this moment to prepare you for the next speed reading that is to come. I will be communicating a secret message to those who can read at 900 words per minute. This is how fast speed readers can read so let’s see if you can keep up.
