The brain cannot multitask. So listening while doing another task is counter productive and mostly a waste of time. That’s a scientific fact, not an opinion. This is not the same as subconscious multitasking. Such as driving while singing a song or breathing, as they are learned tasks and hard wired. Try learning a language and driving and see how you get on…

I read Braille and I'm slow, so if I'm reading something really wordy like Charles Dickens where you have to slog through a lot of descriptions, I will space right out during that jazz. If I'm reading Braille and that happens, I'm likely to put the book aside because I'm slogging through a bunch of rambling with no reward. If I'm playing an audiobook, I'm less likely to lose patience and stick with it.

I'm listening to my first audiobook currently and my concentration sucks, my mind wanders a ton or will get bored and start thinking my own thoughts. Idk if I'm retaining the details of the story 😅 but one thing I love about it is the fact that i can multitask with it, like while on a walk or cooking. It gives my mind some mild entertainment so I have something other to pay attention to than my own thoughts. Also love that it feels like someone's reading to me and I'm flying through a book faster than I sit down to read these days

I still think that reading is more effective than that of listening... as I find myself more involved also take notes and review them... reading books feels like a journey to me and finishing reading books gives me a sense of accomplishment.

My attention span is much worse with an audiobook for some odd reason, so I find myself having to repeat passages constantly

For me, listening allows for good retention but causes me to not focus on the task, so you can read between the lines. I think reading requires discipline and commitment.

It's different for everyone. I'm a kinetic learner so prefer and take much more onboard by watching. Readers say films don't let your imagination flow, but I see every frame differently to them. They may focus on the actor whereas I focus on objects in the background they haven't even picked on. We all learn differently, is there a right or wrong way?

I think it's 2 different methods of intaking information, not a comprehension contest. No cheating involved. (Cheating is looking up crossword answers on the internet. 😉😬) Whichever way works for you leads to the greatest comprehension. Some people grasp more with an audio style - listening. Visual thinkers comprehend by seeing and decoding the letters in their own voice. It also depends on the type of material as well as the desired level of comprehension. Sort of like picking a movie. Is the book something you can listen to while doing automatic tasks or does it require or do you want to give close attention to the material? All just personal choice.

Hmm... I wonder how reading & decoding vs listening & multi-tasking plays out. Typically my book listening happens in traffic or while making an every other month one way 10 hour drive.

Looking into audiobooks. I've always loved reading books. Now, with neck pain /arthritis. I would like a break with my neck & hands from holding a book.

One of the main differences between an audiobook and reading is that there is a narrator between you and the book. A good narrator will use his voice to bring out the important. A bad narrator makes it harder to pick up on the details. I also agree that an advantage of an audiobook is that you can listen more frequently. Waiting in line, driving, lieing in bed in the morning before actually getting up are great opportunities to hear a book when you might not be able to read.

I find it hard to read where a book or novel would take me months but when i started audiobooks, i could finish a novel in a week.

They say when you read or listen to or feel the words on Braille of a book, you don’t just ‘read’, you absorb it. So you could say no matter how to tackle a book of choice, you absorb the contents within. Just because another is telling the story in an audiobook doesn’t stop my imagination from running wild picturing something. Reacting to the content within. I’ve been shamed before just cause I share that I enjoyed an audio book, so I guess it will always be like that, but as they say to each their own.

I read along with audiobooks. I love reading but I have a hard focusing ( I got ADHD ) so for me audiobooks help me.

Audiobook is stressful in long run. Feels like listening to my nagging mom for 3~8 hours while reading is kinda relaxing for me since I do it on my own pace. Sometimes I combine both if I have the audiobook and the book itself. As for audiobook, I usually add music like Marconi Union's weightless.

To avoid clutter I use audio books, if I find it in the library or if someone can lend me a book I’ll read and listen at the same time

Makes sense.

2:48 "you get threw books more easily" you mean through right? because threw is a past tense for throwing and you don't throw books.

English has so many homophones like "through" and "threw"....right/write, son/sun, pear/pair etc...

Audiobooks and physical books are definitely not “pretty much the same thing.” Decoding is essential for reading comprehension. When you state “there’s something about holding a book. I don’t know what it is,” you are indicating your need for multiple-sensory learning. With a book, we feel the paper (tactile learning), smell the book (olfactory memory), see the print and use our brains to decode the language or interpret pictures, charts, graphs…or even see the words as pictures (visual learning), and, as you stated, we hear the word spoken in our head (auditory learning). This fully immersive experience helps us to retain the knowledge more completely; more thoroughly. Listening alone limits our retentive capacity. For learning readers, listening to an audio version while reading along can be of great benefit. This method is also quite beneficial for students of all ages, when content retention is essential. Audiobooks are indeed quite different from reading a physical book, and are not recommended for learning readers. For experienced readers, audiobooks allow the mind to wander more easily, thus limiting content retention for some readers. Reading a physical book uses more areas of the brain and is preferred.

Well i think that it is battle between your Eyes and your Ear. Either you read book or listen to it same information is send to your brain it depends on u that u r a good reader or good listener - Things why printed books r better 1. If you don't understand any line while reading u can shift to ur eyes within micro second and read that line again but in case of audio books u need to pause and go back or skip 10 seconds behind 2. U can tickmark important points and find them just by changing ypur pages while no such option is available in audiobooks Advantage of Audio books 1. If you r a gold listner and know English very well then you can listen audio book at ur own speed And complete a book within an hours

For me who is not a native reading is good for learning and memorizing vocabulary/grammar in a natural way, listening is more about understand things without the help of subtitles, etc. Also Audiobooks are great for improving pronunciation and I never went abroad so for me it's better... I prefer audiobooks

The bicycle provides more benefits to your body though. So would the analogy hold true for reading, which would confer more physiological benefits than audiobooks?

I like my video games a lot...so I try yo listen to a book while playing since i play to much lol

Lol, I don't think that's a good idea. Your team mates might flame you hehe

Reading is must better, you can rephrase book quotes much more since you can remember how they were written
