Background noise – like the chatter in a coffee shop or the drone of passing traffic – might slow our reading speed, but according to a study of Russian readers, it doesn't affect how our brain comprehends written text.
shop or the drone of passing traffic – might slow our reading speed, but according to a study of Russian readers, it doesn't affect how our brain comprehends written text.
"Overall, previous studies reported a detrimental effect of both auditory and visual noise on reading fluency and comprehension, though their results varied,""So far, none of the studies exploring the influence of noise evaluated it in the framework of the language processing theories.", which posits that our brain deals with noise by looking at the meaning of individual words more and at entire sentences less.
When it came to the auditory noise test, background chatter from overlapping podcasts caused people to spend longer looking at the key section of sentences before completing their reading. This extra time could compensate for the noise, meaning sentence comprehension isn't affected.
