Regression 回读


Your eyes normally progress in a left-to-right direction, seeing each word in the order it was written. Occasionally, your eyes will move backward, or regress, to a word already read instead of moving to the next word. Regression is often unnecessary and slows you down.
What Is Key Word Reading? Key word reading involves skipping nonessential words and reading only those words and phrases that carry the primary or core meaning of each sentence.

Fixation 注视点

As your eyes move across a line of print, they move and stop, move and stop. When your eyes stop, or focus, this is called a fixation.

Example 1
Key word reading is a new technique. Although it is faster than most of the careful reading techniques, the reader must expect a decrease in factual comprehension skill. In some situations, it is worth the loss, depending on the reader’s purpose and the type of material being read.
Example 2
Our point here is really very simple: many books are hardly worth even skimming. Some should be read quickly; and a few should be read at a rate, usually quite slow, that allow for complete comprehension. It is wasteful to read a book slowly that deserves only a fast reading; speed reading skills can help you solve that problem. But this is only one reading problem.

Eye Span 视幅，视距


As your eyes stop, or fixate, while progressing from left to right across the line, they see a certain number of words or letters. The amount you see during each fixation is called your eye span. Eye spans varies individually according to the type of material you are reading.

Experiment 1: Observing Eye Movement Ask the other person to hold up the book so that you can see his or her eyes as he or she reads. Then direct the person to start reading a paragraph. As he or she reads, notice how the eyes move and stop, move and stop. Also notice the return sweep to the beginning of the next line.
Return Sweep

When your eyes reach the end of a line of print, they return to the beginning of the next line. This return motion is called the return sweep. Although your eyes are already trained to return automatically, the speed with which they make this return is variable.

Reducing Regressions

Frequent regression interferes with your comprehension and slows you down. You can reduce regression by using the following techniques:

Reducing Regressions

1. Force yourself to move your eyes only from left to right. Do not regress in the middle of a sentence. Instead, if the meaning of a sentence is unclear after you have finished reading it, reread the entire sentence.

Experiment 2: Counting Fixations As the person reads, count the number of eye stops or fixations made on each line. By counting the average number of words on the line and dividing it by the average number of fixations per line, you will be able to work out the person’s eye span.

2. Use a card to prevent regression to previous lines. As you read, slide the card down the page so that it covers what you have already read.
