Long shot here. Could anyone point me to research showing that we *believe* we read better than we actually do?
(IE thinking that we are grasping the full meaning or context we aren't, perhaps between we read faster on screens and skim more.)
I’m sure I’ve read about this, but now I need a reference, it escapes me.
I don’t think Maryanne Wolf mentioned this specifically in “Reader, Come Home”.
Patricia Alexander found that students incorrectly judged their comprehension as better online than in print. But that’s not quite the same as thinking their overall reading comprehension is better than it is.
Any leads would be great, or if you feel like giving this a boost to help spread the net, I’d appreciate it.
