Science experiment i'd be interested in doing: how fast can people with/without an internal dialog count objects? Does not having to use language to count in your head speed up the process?
Apparently this is a known issue in the speed reading community! Once you get to a certain speed you have to train yourself to not read out loud in your head to go faster. So hypothesis confirmed i guess!
@metalcrow That certainly explains why I'm such a slow reader. Thanks for sharing it!
