The paper is highly inaccurate and was in fact hidden from Paul Scheele so he could never address it. At my insistence Learning Strategies obtained a copy last year.
You will note that the researcher is also the test subject. In true research this invalidated the work immediately.
The PhotoReading instructor refused to participate in all of the experiment under normal research. This would null and void the experiment.
If you can class this as research then you will find 1000's of people have conducted their own experiment in similar vein on the discussion forum The paper has also been discussed on the forum.
I have investigated numerous brain research articles since learning to PhotoRead myself and found independent evidence that the PhotoReading step is indeed a capability of the brain. It's also evidenced by the technique of direct learning.
I can point you to an equal number of documents that prove that reading doesn't work and one cannot learn to read. because 49% of the population cannot read the instructions on a medicine bottle. Yet that does not explain how 51% of the population can read. There is no proof that anyone can read. Just because you're reading this is not proof. It's a skill you opted to give time to learning.
PhotoReading is something you do. To learn it you must try it and see.Same as those people who can sleep on nails. walk on coal, break bricks with their bare hands. Seeing them do it is not proof that you can do it. Research does not prove that the masses can do it. The only one who can conclusively prove whether you can PhotoRead or not, is if you conduct your own experiment.
It won't prove that every one can learn PhotoReading by the it will prove whether you can or cannot.
Okay to be sceptical. However, scepticism unchecked can prevent you moving towards your goal.
Does Painting work? I don't know if there is any scientific proof that elephants can paint. Lucky this one didn't wait for science to convince it. check it out on my blog
