Is this based on any research on speed reading?

I always thought that speed reading was non-linear with a kind of gestalt mechanic at work. This seems more like speed listening which is a 1D stream.

It is based in a competition called Speed-Memory a discipline called shapes and colors. With different velocities you can use different memorization techniques. For example First 6 shapes 1.7 seconds per shape you can use element associations (each element is image) example red square a missile white triangle ice cube (a missile explode in a ice cube) . Next two pass more quickly you use a iconic memory (only see the image). Next five (more quickly) you can use phonological loop (only say the name of the image) las two the most rapid passing figures you only see it as a photography of the shape) when the test finish you first respond the las two figures (that are in your eidetic memory) then the phonological loop and the others...

With this system you can use the different forms of mental processing of the mind.

Here the code of veolocity calculation equal to the speed-memory

count word is (0 to 14)

_n=velocity;

if(countWord>=3) _n = _n + _n * 0.2; if(countWord>=6 && countWord<9) _n = _n + _n * 0.4; if(countWord>=9 && countWord<12) _n = _n + _n * 0.6; if(countWord>=12 && countWord<14) _n = _n + _n * 0.8;

velocity=_n;

Thanks!
