Anyone ever read along to an audio book? I was contemplating it, thinking it may lead to better retention, but have found no concrete evidence either way.
“We found no significant differences in comprehension between reading, listening, or reading and listening simultaneously”
Wondering if anyone has tried it. I know I'm better with visual memories than audio, so why not mix the two?
As most audiobooks are heard during another activity, I wonder if reading along would help focus thought on the subject.
Granted I can't walk my dog and read a book, so I wonder if one would have better luck with any audio if that was the only stimulus experienced.
I've never just sat there and listened to a book, have you?
- I've listened to some non-fiction audiobooks in the past, purely to fall asleep to.
Spaced repetition is 'the best' method for retention - have you looked into?Nairn - I have not. I like the idea. I wonder how I would create check points to review my progress with a marketing book that we are reading as a group.imbecile
- new thought: listen to the book multiple times, hoping each time I garner something new. like watching a movie several times noticing new details.imbecile
- Have a look through here. There were two things in particular I remember liking, but I'll be damned if I can remember which they are..Nairn
