In Reply to: Reading + listening is a slightly different experience posted by Feanor on January 8, 2024 at 04:24:27:
it divides the attention. If you are concentrating on reading then music becomes background. You can go back and forth, that's it.
If you are concentrating on music then reading is lost. Try studying for a College final doing this. This is why College Libraries are silent spaces. What percentage of road accidents involve cell phone use at the same time as driving? Plenty, but I don't have any honest stats.
Unless you can do both at the same time with full comprehension... I was told many years ago that women can do this both at the same time, but I have never met a woman who could accomplish this, it's fantasy. You can approach a stop light while having a conversation in the car but you can manage this only with divided attentions over time as you acquire the ability learned. I remember my first Driving Road Test and my instructor yelled at me to shut up and concentrate on the road.
If anybody reading this thinks they can do both with full exact comprehension, please don't follow me when I'm driving my car.
