Today, we read on phones or computers every day. 11 A new study says no. It finds there is a 20 to 30 percent drop in understanding hard information when people read on a screen.
Why does this happen? When we hold a paper book, we can feel how many pages are left, or we remember a certain sentence is on the left page. The information can help build a "mind map" of the text. 12 This makes it hard for our brain(大脑) to build a strong memory structure.
This is not based on a single study. A Cambridge University test showed that students reading on screens got lower scores on understanding questions than those reading on paper. Screen readers only looked for key words and missed important connecting words. 13
So, should we stop using screens? No, we just need smarter screens. 14 For example, they use VR to let us "turn" a page or show a moving map of the text's structure. These tools help our brain build a stronger map.
15 It's how designers design it. They should make technology that fits the way our brains naturally learn.
A. Some new apps try to be like a real book.
B. In short, the problem isn't the screen itself.
C. This made them unable to get the full meaning.
D. But is screen reading as good as reading a physical book?
E. But on a screen, all we do is scroll up and down(上下滑动).
F. However, paper readers spend more time on the difficult parts of the text.
