Wrong sub-forum to argue the details of that sentence, but in this particular study I have difficulty thinking that they have really proved anything substantial. I have my doubts whether a short term(?) study based on excerpts says anything much, except how it is possible to provide short term training to achieve particular results. The results possibly say more about the skills of the researchers to pull out excerpts they need, than it does about the effects of reading different types of literature.
