Inquiring minds wanted to know of the first scientific evidence in 2,000 years that your haptic (sense of touch) creates a link between sight and hearing in reading.
So what?
Read on and discover the baby-easy method to double your learning speed with the same or better comprehension permanently. Best of all, you or your child can implement this new skill in under twenty-minutes.
For kids learning to read and adults learning a second language, the secret of the Bond Effect (bonding touch to seeing and hearing) makes language acquisition 50 percent faster and far more efficient.
Wait - this system is not just for beginners in a language, but permits students in high school, college and graduate school, and corporate executives to almost instantly double their learning skills. It is the secret of new knowledge acquisition.
Regression
How many of us are aware that the average college graduate regresses up to five times each page of text? Regress? Lose our place on the page and go-back to start over, or find the sentence incomprehensible, and return to re-read it.
Middle schoolers regress up to nine times per page of text, and high school students stop to reread seven times per page. What does regression do to their reading rate?
They snail along at approximately 100 words per minute with about 60% comprehension. So what again? Using their haptic (touch) sense, these same folks can read at up to 600 words per minute with up to 75 percent comprehension.
The difference between 100 to 600 wpm means the student can enjoy reading and learning, and not drop out of school. Snailing (slow reading) is boring and mind numbing, and leads to a loss of motivation and hatred of learning and school.
Research Headline
Touch Helps Make The Connection Between Sight and Hearing.
Get this - to learn new words in your own language or in a foreign one, you must Associate a letter (grapheme) with its sound (phoneme) in that language.
The new research at the University of Savoie (eastern France) indicates, the use of a Multisensory learning method, combining our visual sense and simultaneously, with our sense of touch (of the letters), the result is greater and more efficient.
The lead researcher, B. Fredernbach called the sense of touch, a Cementing role between sight and hearing. The difference is significant for students and lifetime learners.
The full report appears March 26, 2009 in the journal PloS One, Learning of Arbitrary Association Between Visual and Auditory Novel Stimulus in Adults.
Use of a Pacer
The secret of accelerated learning is using a mechanical Pacer in your dominant hand to lead your eyes to speed up, and not regress multiple times per reading task.
How Come? The Homo sapiens brain is hardwired with an instinct that requires the eyes to follow a moving object. This means when there is new movement within the visual field of humans, our nervous system uses an autopilot hardwired system to require our eyes to stop-the-presses and track the new action.
It can be a fly, a bear, or a human enemy. The first is a nuisance, the second and third, predators who wishes have us over for dinner as the main course or just expropriate our property. The Pacer activates our Peripheral Vision to enlarge our ordinary central (foveal) vision and widens our visual span.
Etymology (history)
The first Pacer used almost two-thousand years ago was a thin stick held in our dominant hand like a modern pen. It was used to track the words in sentences while reciting aloud section of the Bible.
The benefit of using a Pacer was to avoid the multiple losing of one's place in the paragraph and looking foolish. Another important value was focusing Attention and Concentration on the specific words recited. It was first used by a teacher (rabbi) in Jerusalem, and alleged to have resided in Bethlehem. He called the Pacer a Yad, < Heb. hand.
Today, the use of a pen as a Pacer, and the Cursor (shaped like a hand) when reading articles on your computer, will literally double your learning speed, while maintaining or improving your attention and concentration.
Physiology
If you learn these few physiology definitions, you will command the knowledge of one-percent of 306 million Americans. Yes, it is a challenge to lifetime learners.
a) Your consciousness is loaded in your Neocortex (< L new brain).
Thinking is activating the left-hemisphere of your cerebral cortex, and in particular your neocortex.
It is your Forebrain in your neocortex that plans and creates new ideas and converts them to new behaviors.
b) Your subconscious (automatic) activities (procedural skills) including touch typing, driving your car, and tying your shoe laces, are located in your Cerebellum.
c) Your eye movements and other bodily movements are activated and managed by your cerebellum (< L little brain) and the Superior Colliculus. Both brain structures are coordinated in the physiological processes of seeing, reading and recreational activities.
Intentional rehearsal and repetition hardwires these learning strategies in your brain. It permits your conscious mind to remain free to be creative and imaginative.
Importance of Lifelong Learning
Sure, you know that we live in the Knowledge Economy, where the acquisition and practical use of information decides our lifetime income. College graduates earn in excess of one million dollars over the course of their working career, compared to high school graduates.
What is not common, practical knowledge is that the amount of education and continuing lifetime learning, appears to create a longevity difference of approximately ten-years. Lifelong learning also reduces up to 60 percent, the risk of Alzheimer.
It appears from neurological research that daily knowledge acquisition improves the structure and function of your brain. It is called Cognitive Reserve.
Endwords
If you have questions about implementing the use of Pacer in doubling your learning skills, ask us how and we will respond by email. If you value a new skill that offers you a unique competitive advantage over your peers, and is alleged to add to your longevity, ask us for details.
No gimmicks, just enhanced learning for your lifetime.
See ya,
