Accelerative Learning Techniques

Paper Summary:

The following paper discusses how traditional learning, designed for Industrial Revolution scenarios, now no longer applies. Thus new techniques, derived from psychological theories (gestalt, behaviorism, etc.) which involve holistic brain and personality functions and proclivities, are examined. The discussion, definition and comparison of PhotoReading and Speed reading and how they work to solve the problem of learning in a new society, takes place in this paper.

From the Paper:

"Historically, science has considered "intelligence" as the part of the mind that engages in conscious thinking and problem solving. It was accepted that there was one type of intelligence, focused on conscious, logical thinking. Other factors or methods of thinking were discounted, and the way people were taught in school and in their vocations was through training programs geared to a linear, logical approach. People whose background or heredity was consistent with that system were successful in school, work and academic endeavors because their mental dispositions were a good match, those whose learning patterns may have been different struggled as they tried to fit the mold."
