Reading comprehension

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I gave the 30 dollar program a try again. It's been a while as the last I logged in was April.

I was fumbly with the F and L keys. These are the keys you use for choosing the visual and verbal in the test. Press F for "visual," L for "audio" or both for a visual/ audio perfect match. This is level one. Level one uses only white for the squares. level two uses only red.

I've gotten to level two and with one perfect score in these 20 "blocks" of 10 question/performance matches- 200 of these, per day. 20 days and 40 % better working memory is the claim.

Level three is remembering or going back 3 steps while simultaneously watching the next sequence. I fail completely here. I don't even bother to try. It's a blur.

This testing hurts your brain.... I think it works you to death..... I feel it when done.

I know now from this test, the areas that I feel "worked" is where my impairment lies. Once you work through this, you get a profound visceral sense of "impairment," even though I worked up to level 3. It stretches your RAM to the limit and it hurts. Someone NT would just do it and not hurt, I believe.

I'm not the fastest reader in the world, but my comprehension is quite good. I scored 100% on my LSAT reading comprehension section.

I have an above average vocabulary and can articulate concepts that I understand, but it can be difficult for me to follow the plot in a fictional story/novel. I tend to either lose interest or miss important details even when I'm trying my best to understand the text.

I might have ADHD though, I'm not sure.

Yes, that is similar to me. My vocabulary is fine and I don't have so many conceptual problems. However, I'm not able to maintain focus throughout the entire story.

When I do understand what I read, my comprehension is fine. It's just the getting the concepts into my head the first time around that's difficult.

Also, reading a book for a second or third time (or even watching a movie), I notice just how much I miss... and I don't even realize it until after the fact!

My comprehension is terrible. I think it gets worse over time. I could read like pages of stuff and not remember what I read, or while I'm reading the words, I'm not perceiving the meanings conveyed to me as I try to concentrate. And it's even a lot harder to keep track of the overall rhythm of the whole piece I'm reading or to compare different parts of it. Nowadays, I can barely keep track of what's going on in an entire sentence. It seems a lot easier to read those tickers that come on the screen on news programs.

My reading speed tends to be slower than average, but my comprehension is better than average. If I am reading for pleasure, I tend to prefer reading slowly, in order to savor the nuances and the techniques the author is using.

When it comes to reading comprehension, it isn't easy at all to understand what I've read... my tendancies to mix up letters, skip entire paragraphs without meaning to, mix up words or magically "see" words that make the sentance not make any sense, spend a few minutes reading the same paragraph/page over and over before I fully understand what I've read, become distracted by the littlest amount of external stimuli means I generally never comprehend what I read a hundred percent.

No I'm terrible at reading. I can only read something that i enjoy reading. If i read something on chemistry I can usually read it and want to be interested. If its like psychology or sociology my brain goes crazy and I cant read it. Guess thats the Bio-sociology of it lol
