With comprehension, my reading speed is approximately 900 WPM, yet I tend to perform poorly on reflex tests, why is this?

Answer 1

Interesting question: Making kinesthetic/physical movements involving the reflexes are very different from eye recognition and cognitive awareness in the brain. Of course, physical movements receive messages from the neurons in the brain, so neuron paths are very important aspects of learning. For instance, if your brain stem were damaged, maybe you couldn't receive neural messages from your brain to your appendages (including satisfying amounts of oxygen). Reading comprehension involves different areas of the brain that might be accessed in cognitive reading development. Think about right-brain and left-brain roles in communication, kinesthetic movements, drawing what you see, and mathematical functioning. For instance, I am very aware, cognitively; however, my reflexes might not be very functional since I have been involved in some car wrecks that physically affected my body's kinesthetic movements and reaction times. Also, when you read approximately 900 wpm, are you answering the comparison and contrast questions effectively, or have you skimmed over the material too quickly without comprehending the possible questions that might be asked? Benchmark questions are different from SAT or ACT test questions, for instance. Just a thought to ponder. I hope this helps you. (my opinion)
