school book reading concentration and sensitivity. You can even the mental deterioration in old age prevent
From: Brain & Mind, October 2010
texting, chatting, surfing and emailing now reading books have replaced from the list of favorite activities of the Germans - according to a study by the Reading Foundation in 2008. It is now a total read and write no less than before. What has changed but the how: An increasing number of texts not studied in detail, but just fly over and consumed bit by bit. About the possible risks of this trend, the magazine reported in brain & mind his new edition (10/2010).
Regular reading aloud improves researchers not only in children the exchange of signals between different brain regions. Adults also benefit of it: Studies have shown that strengthens reading slip including the ability to mentally in other roles, and stay on task. Seniors who read a lot to stay longer mentally fit and show rare symptoms of dementia. How do we explain this?
"The ability to read changes the brain," said Stanislas Dehaene, brain researcher at the Collège de France in Paris, in an interview with the brain and mind. Even the deciphering individual words activated a number of areas within the organ of thought, especially in the left hemisphere. When reading of scenes and stories simulate the brain is the fictitious events, such as the actions of fictional characters. When reading stories simulate the brain really is happening: So excited, for example, increasing the premotor cortex, which is important for higher performance and mental change of perspective, if the fictional character is busy with a new object.
This could be the reason why avid consumer of fiction is often associated with better social skills. This proved be an investigation of Canadian psychologists from the University of Toronto in 2006: subjects who schmökerten like in novels could not be into place only after they know better stories and characters, but also cut the empathy test performed better.
