1
Changes in reading habits What are the implications of the way we read today?
2
Look around on your next plane trip.
3
The iPad is the new pacifier for babies and toddlers.
4
Younger school-aged children read stories on smartphones, older kids don't read at all, but hunch over video games.
5
Parents and other passengers read on tablets or skim a flotilla of email and news feeds.
6
Unbeknown to most of us, an invisible, game-changing transformation links everyone in this picture.
7
The neuronal circuit that underlies the brain's ability to read is subtly,
8
rapidly changing and this has implications for everyone from the pre-reading toddler to the expert adult.
9
As work in neurosciences indicates, the acquisition of literacy necessitated a new circuit in our species brain more than 6,000 years ago.
10
That circuit evolved from a very simple mechanism for decoding basic information, like the number of goats in one's herd,
11
to the present, highly elaborated reading brain.
12
My research depicts how the present reading brain enables the development of some of our most important intellectual and effective processes,
13
internalized knowledge, analogical reasoning and inference, perspective taking and empathy, critical analysis and the generation of insight.
14
Research surfacing in many parts of the world now cautions
15
that each of these essential deep reading processes may be under threat as we move into digital-based modes of reading.
16
This is not a simple, binary issue of print versus digital reading and technological innovation.
17
As MIT scholar Sherry Turkle has written, we do not err as a society when we innovate but when we ignore what we disrupt or diminish while innovating.
18
In this hinge moment between print and digital cultures, society needs to confront what is diminishing in the expert reading circuit,
19
what our children and older students are not developing, and what we can do about it.
20
We know from research that the reading circuit is not given to human beings through a genetic blueprint like vision or language, it needs an environment to develop.
21
Further, it will adapt to that environment's requirements, from different writing systems to the characteristics of whatever medium is used.
22
If the dominant medium advantages processes that are fast, multitask-oriented and well-suited for large volumes of information, like the current digital medium,
23
so will the reading circuit.
24
As UCLA psychologist Patricia Greenfield writes, the result is that less attention and time will be allocated to slower, time-demanding deep reading processes.
25
Increasing reports from educators and from researchers in psychology and the humanities bear this out.
26
English literature scholar
27
and teacher Mark Edmondson describes how many college students actively avoid the classic literature of the 19th
28
and 20th centuries in favor of something simpler, as they no longer have the patience to read longer, denser, more difficult texts.
29
We should be less concerned with students' cognitive impatience, however, than by what may underlie it,
30
the potential inability of large numbers of students to read with
31
a level of critical analysis sufficient to comprehend the complexity of thought and argument found in more demanding texts.
32
Multiple studies show
33
that digital screen use may be causing a variety of troubling downstream effects on reading comprehension in older high school
34
and college students in stavannah norway psychologist and mong
35
and her colleagues studied how high school students comprehend the same material in different mediums
36
mullins group asked subjects questions about a short story whose plot
37
had universal student appear half of the students read the story on a tablet the other half in paperback
38
Results indicated that students who read on print were superior in their comprehension to screen reading peers,
39
particularly in their ability to sequence detail and reconstruct the plot in chronological order.
40
Ximing Liu from San Jose State University has conducted a series of studies
41
which indicate that the new norm in reading is skimming, involving word spotting and browsing through the text.
42
Many readers now use a pattern when reading in
43
which they sample the first line and then word spot through the rest of the text.
44
When the reading brain skims like this, it reduces time allocated to deep reading processes.
45
In other words, we don't have time to grasp complexity, to understand another's feelings, to perceive beauty, and to create thoughts of the readers on.
46
The possibility that critical analysis, empathy, and other deep reading processes could become the unintended collateral damage
47
of our digital culture is not a straightforward binary issue about print versus digital reading.
48
It is about how we all have begun to read on various mediums how
49
that changes not only what we read but also the purposes for
50
which we read nor is it only about the young the subtle atrophy of critical analysis
51
and empathy affects us all equally it affects our ability to navigate a constant bombardment of information
52
it incentivizes a retreat to the most familiar stores of unchecked information
53
which require and receive no analysis leaving us susceptible to false information and irrational ideas
54
There's an old rule in neuroscience that does not alter with age, use it or lose it.
55
It is a very hopeful principle when applied to critical thought in the reading brain because it implies choice.
56
The story of the changing reading brain is hardly finished.
57
We possess both the science and the technology to identify and redress the changes in how we read before they become entrenched.
58
If we work to understand exactly what we will lose, alongside the extraordinary new capacities that the digital world has brought us,
59
there is as much reason for excitement as caution.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
