The logic behind why BeeLine could increase reading speeds seems intuitive, but does this method work, scientifically? The fading between colors makes the transition from line to line much more pronounced, and within a line, the color gradient seems to help guide your eyes across the page.
Whereas normal black text does not contain any additional bits of information for your brain, BeeLined text leverages the fact that your brain will encode the salient color information and uses it to your advantage.īesides turning the text into a mixture of black and red and blue words, BeeLine has a few noticeable effects. Your brain automatically pays minimal attention to the color gradient of the text, and it quickly adapts to the BeeLined text, letting you concentrate on the content of what you are reading. A similar concept is fundamental to BeeLine Reader. Your brain begins to treat the ink color of the words as valuable information for the task, and you quickly adapt.
Notice that once you find a good rhythm for doing the Stroop task, it gets easier and easier. Now, the theory behind BeeLine Reader is not the same as the Stroop task, but one of the principles behind this task is that color information as well as text information are integrated when we are reading text.
