timloudon Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) I did start reading that sentence thinking he was talking about scores, I had to read it twice. This is fascinating. The question I want to ask is does this help in any way when trying to improve one's sight reading? Surely the mention of looking too far ahead and 'overloading' the brain, among other points, could be useful pointers. Planethead, Where did you find this article? Was it in a journal?
