"Recent work with deaf readers show that skilled deaf readers’ eye movements when they read simple sentences are very different from those of hearing readers of comparable reading skills. Deaf readers are more efficient when they read sentences compared to hearing readers with equal comprehension levels. For example, skilled deaf readers make fewer fixations in a sentence. This means that each time their eyes land on a word (called a “fixation”), skilled deaf readers are able to grab more information within that fixation. Skilled deaf readers also go back in the text (reread) less often than hearing readers do. This shows that even if deaf readers make fewer fixations than hearing readers do, they also do not need to go back in the text as often as their hearing counterpart to check their comprehension".
Some people can read very fast because they do not vocalise (in their mind) what they read.
When I was working in a laboratory I was asked to look through some calculations because there were "mistakes somewhere". I was handed half a dozen pages of handwritten material. I just quickly glanced at each page ... identified three mistakes ... and handed them back.
When people make mistakes their handwriting changes.
