Do we absorb information better on paper, rather than screens? It depends on the screen.
Erik D Reichle, Professor of cognitive psychology, Macquarie University and Lili Yu, Senior Lecturer, Cognitive Psychology, Macquarie University ask us to acknowledge the critical fact that reading might appear to be an easy task, but this impression is false. Reading is arguably the most difficult task one must learn – one that requires years of formal education and practice to master. In contrast to spoken language, it is a skill we are not biologically predisposed to learn. As digital reading has overtaken reading print books and journals, this research dovetails with increasing dominance of AI in education and the work place.
