(I would also like to check out any long-term studies that follow up and see if these participants went on to work or have a hobby in a related field or not)
@terdon yes it's way more flexible...I know if I'm working on something important I'll always print to review it first... seems to give me fresher eyes
I'll remember "there's a 2015-2017 Muse magazine from the first half of the year with a red cover that talks about retaining information from paper VS ebooks", for instance, but not remember the details of the article all that well.
@user1306322 Interesting question, why do you ask? I certainly remember the physical position of something on a page, yes. But I think I only do so when reading from paper. I hadn't thought of it before. But I can remember that I read something on the top right of the page, for example.
And I know that since I started reading e-books, the books I read get very jumbled up in my mind. I used to remember author, title, cover etc. Now, you ask me what I'm reading and I need to look it up.
But that's probably cause I don't look at the cover every time I pick up my book.
@terdon interesting, distinct or memorable layouts help some people remember the information visually. Could be better for people with ADHD, idk I'm not a psychologist, I'm just a bullshitter engineer :p
@user1306322 Nothing distinct or memorable though. I just often remember a visual image of the thing I read, so I'll recall that it was at a specific position on the page.
Ha!
Which is mentioned in the paper
> Another navigation issue is related to the ways in which the two types of media determine and restrict one’s access to the texts in their entirety. Evidence suggests that readers often recall where in a text some particular piece of information appeared (e.g., toward the upper right corner or at the bottom of the page) (Piolat et al., 1997; Rothkopf, 1971; Zechmeister & McKillip, 1972). We know from empirical and theoretical research that having a good spatial mental representation of the physical layout of the text supports reading comprehension (Baccino & Pynte, 1994; Cataldo & Oakhill,…
I've heard people recall specific memories from the times they read and finally understood some concept from a book or a digital source (programming, maths, physics, others) like when they read it their dog really wanted to pee, or it smelled like pancakes, or it was raining pretty hard. People are interesting.
Ah yes. For some reason, I still remember very clearly that I read a particularly sad passage in one of the Narnia books while sitting under Aphrodite of Milos in the Louvre when I was 8 or 10 years old.
@terdon I read a delightful quote from our prime minister (of what he wrote in 2012): ”…the order of faith, religion and creation is diverted towards a godless cosmos by irreligion and the scientific world view…”
I think multiple choice quizes are designed to guide every students to at least remember the information from how obvious the answers are in them, kinda of a "last resort" studying method
like, you could just skim titles and hear a few terms from the book, and with that answer most of the questions because you knew which terms were associated to which concepts
like the excitement from having "figured out the pattern" or "breaking the test" could help students remember the actual correct answers, and thus finally learn the material they were supposed to have learned by then
i placed in a national competition for a subject i had never focused on just by skimming the chapter titles the day before, i feel it was because it was just a massive multi-choice quiz. There were many questions throughout the quiz such that given previous questions you could use the process of elimination to come to the right answer
@user400654 there's also a pretty cool method of cheating on exams - check out the questions of your neighbours and chances are they'll have mutations of your question but with hinting information that allows you to deduce the answer to yours
my favorite way of cheating that i saw was people finding out that certain scant trons had predetermined right answers. like based on the serial number, you could figure out the pattern of predetermined right answers,
