I wondered what a study's results would show. I was always taught to preread a text before a first assignment.
Open text and check out how it is sectioned and the chapter title divisions below that. Then check out the back of the text for conversion tables, index, glossery, etc.. Some texts even had the glossary in two languages.
Next was to open to the assigned chapter and read the intro and the ending summary. Read the bolded chapter sections, the side notes, and bolded words. Then check all the tables/charts, pictures, and the text attached to them.
Finally, start reading the text chapter assignment. At this point is where I do my mark up.
I remember information for reference by where I recall I saw it. Top of page, bottom of page, left side, right side, by this picture or that chart, etc.
Even now, I can pick up a text and recall where to find something by where I remember seeing it in relation to what was around it.
I wonder if this is something related to how our generation became accustomed to learning and future generations will be brought up to learn to gather and recall information differently?
