Is incremental reading through SuperMemo the same as Photo reading? And how come schools and universities haven made it mandatory as of yet?
No. Incremental reading helps you read many electronic articles in parallel. But it does not mean that you see all those articles in front of you all at the same time. It means that you read a tiny portion of one article, and then a tiny portion of another article, etc. SuperMemo manages this process and makes it possible to read pieces of dozens of articles on the same day and thousands of articles in parallel. All that without getting lost and with a solid recall of what you have read and learned. Photo-reading is supposed to help you photographically “scan” entire pages of articles while reading. Sort of super-speed-reading in which a human brain is said to work like a scanner. However, Photo-reading is missing on the science side. Its principles quarrel to a large degree with the physiology of perception. As for mandatory use in schools, incremental reading is not well suited for class-room environment. It requires quality learning conditions, quality concentration, solid speed-rea
