Speed Reading By Mental Photography

A young child uses natural photographic memory, straight into the vast memory banks of the brain's cerebral cortex. You can see them gaze in awe and amazement as they absorb pictures, vioces, words, people, feelings -- truly, the mind is like a camera. And at that age of 1-5 the mind is clear and uncluttered by thoughts, theories, plans and grand ideas.

Driven by intrigue and rabid curiosity, the child is a mental photographer using his/her whole brain to snap pictures and quickly take in the whole environment, so as to be able to adapt quickly and survive when anything changes. In later life we yearn for these very same agile abilities!

Speed reading by mental photography and improving your memory should best by viewed by keeping the childlike method above firmly in mind. Increased reading speeds of up to 100,000 words per minute and even beyond one million wpm have been achieved by Dr Richard Welch's students in the USA using their natural photographic memory. Because the information goes straight into long term memory in the cortex, recall and retention of material is often tested to be as high as 90 per cent. This beats 'normal reading' using sub vocalization which only holds information in the short term memory briefly, then dumps it!

In that case, you need to use repetition of concepts and phrases, as with the cramming for high school exams -- but wouldn't you be far better off learning the accelerated brain training techniques of Dr Richard Welch's mental photography? I have seen videos of young people speed reading - absorbing whole books as fast as they can flip the pages! This is amazing stuff when you see it for yourself.....reading as fast as they can turn the pages of a book.  Can you see how this is connected with a child's method of learning? Simply soaking the info into the brain just like a camera absorbs an image?

The awesome thing with speed reading using mental photography is the memorizing retention rate of ninety per cent, as tested by Dr Welch, and this is a retention for life! I wish my primary school and secondary school teachers knew about rapid reading brain training for results like these -- but they didn't! Education could be accelerated beyond our present day imagining if only innovations like this were adopted early by the school administrative board. These will always be conservative committees.

So have I planted a seed in your brain and created just a tiny child-like curiosity so that you'd like to discover more about speed reading for yourself? Have I stimulated your intrigue in the potential of the human learning process?  I sincerely hope so.

I wrote a page about this brain improvement stuff on my web site, psychology power dot com. And I'd love you to read it.  Thanks for reading my hub pages. I appreciate it.

Sincerely hoping you derive a huge benefit in life from this new knowledge and go on to succeed beyond your wildest dreams ...
