yes the brain actually calculates and fills out most things for you, words, pictures especially, distance calculations, depth of field etc etc
in fact you dont really do much yourself

And it gets better at it through practice - which is why DMD/GPS thingies are not essential; give an unfair advantage (the manufacturers themselves market them as 'gain an advantage') and should not be allowed in competitions...but let's not go there as the manufacturers marketing has done it's job and too many devices are now out there and clearly too many are incapable of using their brain to work out anything themselves.

What's even more remarkable is that the brain can pick up the most minor speling error when reading quickly. It is essential when proofe reading and oddly is more difficult if read slowly.

But oddly, never in something you have typed yourself.

Just show it a picture of what you want it to do, then don't interfere by trying to consciously control your swing.
No idea if it works, I can't let go.

This is very old..... HOWEVER....... for a bit of research I just got my kids to read it... my 11yr old breezed through it.... so did my 7yr old!!!

I'd have been impressed if the 7yr old had read it if it had been spelt properly!!!!

I was wondering if the prior knowledge of the words made a difference... apparently not eg: Cambridge was said correctly even though neither of them have ever heard of the place. The 7yr old reads at a slower pace (giving the brain more time to figure out that the word isn't spelt correctly?) and even that didn't make a difference as she plodded though it without hitch.
