Peripheral vision training in reading speed and comprehension.

A L Sailor, S E Ball

    Perceptual and Motor Skills
    |December 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Peripheral vision training enhanced reading speed in college students. While both groups improved peripheral vision, only the group receiving additional training showed faster reading speeds, with no change in comprehension.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Educational Psychology
    • Human Performance

    Background:

    • Speed reading training aims to improve reading efficiency.
    • Peripheral vision plays a role in visual span during reading.
    • The impact of integrating peripheral vision training with speed reading is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of supplementary peripheral vision training on speed reading.
    • To determine if enhanced peripheral vision improves reading speed and comprehension.

    Main Methods:

    • Two groups of 8 college students participated.
    • Both groups received 15.75 hours of speed reading training.
    • The experimental group received an additional 2.25 hours of peripheral vision training.

    Main Results:

    • Peripheral vision improved in both groups.
    • Reading speed significantly increased only in the group that received additional peripheral vision training.
    • Reading comprehension scores remained unaffected for both groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating peripheral vision training into speed reading programs can enhance reading speed.
    • Peripheral vision training may be a key component for optimizing reading efficiency.
    • Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and applicability across different populations.
