Has any one studied whether immersive reading -reading and listening to the text at the same time - has an impact on retention? I am interested in solid research, not intuition.
Sorry, what the fuck? “Immersive reading?” I’ve never heard of this and I’m sure that few of us have. I’m trying to figure out what’s fishy about this post, but it must be SOMETHING given it’s their first post.
I punched the term into Google Scholar. The first hits were patents, and not really having to do with how the term is defined here. It appears to not be a general term of art.
But I’m searching on my phone and may have missed something.
Thanks. I should have thought of that.
Is that when you read in the bath? Does the book have to be immersed as well?
It’s a Kindle ‘thing’.

Which is, presumably, why the OP helpfully defined the term for the rest of us. If you don’t know the answer to a GQ, then just don’t answer. This is a Warning for threadshitting.

I’ve not checked their methodology; the distribution of quality of education studies is . . . broad.
There is research in education on a similar subject. I don’t know what the research showed or what they are calling the study, but there was a belief that learning material through different methods improved retention. So they would have people read on a subject, hear a lecture on the subject, and write down themselves the material, although not simultaneously. I do know this technique worked wonders with my younger son, but obviously repitition will help retention, the different methods may not matter.
