hello photoread4me,

Quote:
I will share an example with you. Attorneys have volumes and volumes and volumes of books pertaining to various laws. They do not go and memorize all these volumes they just find the particular statue or law that pertains to their case.

This is interesting and This is what I want to put forward. Paul also mentions something like this in 'How to read like a PhD' mp3 file shared on the website. He says, books are written so that we dont need to remember the information (giggles).

So, How will one be able to find what she wants in a thick book unless she knows all of it!

I dont want to reproduce the entire dictionary. Thats no use of me. I would want to do with that dictionary the same way as the attorney case you discussed. So now you understand my situation.

In my opinion, photographic recall doesnt guarantee you comprehension. Its a powerful visual recall. So its not my purpose. To locate what I want from the dictionary is what my purpose is, and I believe, to be able to locate all of the words, I would need it all in my brain.

Alex's points about recall and memory are very true. But how do I add those thousands of words in the dictionary to my memory web!!? they arent going to get added automatically with photoreading! I will have to make thousands of associations consciously to attach them to what I already know!
This is where comes handy a photographic recall. But as it is mentioned many times that photoreading isnt about developing photographic memory, this option rules out. This is another stuck state!

I never mentioned I want to memorize it. I want to know it all. all of the words in it. This will increase knowledge and vocabulary. You would find financial material making much more sense since you know the words now. You know the synonyms, antonyms, you can spot an error or mistake, you can use them in your writing, it is also useful in higher studies etc... I apologize if this is too much to read, but I need to be precise.

Dictionary of financial terms, around 300-400 pages, almost 5005-6000 words.

Thank you,
Stweet
