The problem for me is that every time I am aware that I am trying to speed the eye movement up,I practically slow down and comprension is worse than normal.

They also stress that the human eye should move in a pattern to fill in the information that was not properly perceived. The effective limit for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning" title="Scanning">scanning</a> speeds based upon the limit of the human eyes resolution is approximately 10,000 words a minute. It is claimed that such speeds also require great practice, and extremely rapid eye movements, although research suggests that such training is not possible. It has been suggested by some speed reading promoters that the readers who achieve such speeds are on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_spectrum" title="Autistic spectrum">autistic spectrum</a>, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Peek" title="Kim Peek">Kim Peek</a>. Research into reading rate suggests that study strategies, rather than speed reading, explains why expert readers, such as professors and editors, are more efficient than others.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/426F7E82-8965-4497-930C-C9D9484F693C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
