I never said that photoreading was reading, or speed reading. I just said it was better.
But anyway, you're right. That is not the first study, and many more studies have proved that it works.
To say that someone can't "read" more than 800 words per minute is just wrong. Even this site has said many times that the mind can process tens of thousands of pieces of information at once. That would mean that reading, or "speed" reading, more words at once would keep more of your mind focused on the material you are reading and comprehend and recall it much better than conventionally reading it.
To Centauro-X:
No, speed readers don't use inner skill as much as a photoreader, and from what I've experienced, you don't link both hemispheres of the brain. That would definitely make photoreading a better way of getting information from a book.
Back to Alex:
You could easily run a list of words through your mind and literally vision in your mind thousands of words at a time. The conscious mind can definitely process way more than 560 words per minute. I mean, just try it. Close your eyes and envision a long list of words going through from top to bottom. The list can contain any words, and just sort of highlight each word as you pass it, to show that you are thinking of real words. You could very well see that your conscious mind can think more than you said it could.
