How We Read

Have you ever thought about what actually happens when you read?

📺 Watch the following video on the science behind reading.

One of the most interesting takeaways from the above video is that our brain doesn't process exactly what is on a page, instead it processes pieces of what is on the page and fills in the gaps with what it thinks is there. 🤯

So if you've ever taken an exam and missed a question because you read it incorrectly. Or answered a feedback survey question like the example in the image below. It might be because your brain is incorrectly filling in the gaps as it moves between words!

Note: One potential solution to this issue is to slow down when reading and use other context clues to sanity check what you think you have read!
