| Research Abstract |
Speed reading is widely recognized as an useful tool. The present study tried to develop an easy training based on human reading mechanism and social needs. The needs research showed that people expect to read twice as fast as present. Three experiments investigated the effect of vision training and oculomotor training. The results suggested that visual span expansion training, such as reading several words at a time or making constant saccade, is the most effective.
