Audio has many upsides, but when it comes to understanding difficult concepts, there’s no substitute for reading.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaturdayMorning?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SaturdayMorning</a>: <a href="https://t.co/IxagzGhukC">https://t.co/IxagzGhukC</a></p>

<br />
Some more nuance beyond the Grant tweet here ...<br />
<br />
"So although one core process of comprehension serves both listening and reading, difficult texts demand additional mental strategies. Print makes those strategies easier to use. Consistent with that interpretation, researchers find that people’s listening and reading abilities are more similar for simple narratives than for expository prose. Stories tend to be more predictable and employ familiar ideas, and expository essays more likely include unfamiliar content and require more strategic reading."<br />
<br />
"This conclusion — equivalence for easy texts and an advantage to print for hard ones — is open to changes in the future. As audiobooks become more common, listeners will gain experience in comprehending them and may improve, and publishers may develop ways of signaling organization auditorily."<br />
<br />
Plus the flip side of the coin - Scientists are hoping we can use more narrative / story to help with complex concepts ..<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Use storytelling so that: <br/> -the research is better informed, and grounded in, the reality of local communities and stakeholders, and <br/>
-the results are presented in an engaging and empowered way.<br/>

<blockquote><p><b>Neurodiversity: A Concept Whose Time Has Come</b></p>
<p>Over the past sixty years, we’ve witnessed a phenomenal growth in the number of new psychiatric illnesses. The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, first published in 1952, originally listed about 100 categories of illness. By the year 2000, that number had tripled. We’ve become accustomed to hearing in the news about “learning disabilities,” “ADHD,” “Asperger’s syndrome,” and other conditions that were virtually unheard of fifty years ago. A report from the National Institute of Mental Health indicates that about one-fourth of the American population suffers from a psychiatric disorder in any given year, and an article in the Archives of General Psychology suggested that over the course of a lifetime, approximately half of all people may suffer from a mental illness sometime during their lives. Add to this the observation by Harvard Medical School professor John Ratey that many people have milder versions of psychiatric conditions (he calls them “shadow syndromes”), and we come to the conclusion that when all is said and done, nearly <i>every </i>individual in the country may have a psychiatric illness to one degree or another. </p>
<p>This epidemic in the growth of mental illness suggests that there is a crisis in the making. How much longer can we continue to add new psychiatric illnesses to the list, before it becomes apparent that we have moved too far in pathologizing a sizeable chunk of the American populace? There is, however, an answer to this crisis. The concept of neurodiversity provides a paradigm shift in how we think about mental functioning. Instead of regarding large portions of the American public as suffering from deficit, disease, or dysfunction in their mental processing, neurodiversity suggests that we instead speak about <i>differences</i> in cognitive functioning. Just as we talk about differences in bio-diversity and cultural diversity, we need to start using the same kind of thinking in talking about brain differences. We don’t pathologize a calla lily for not having petals (e.g. petal deficit disorder), nor do we diagnose an individual with brown skin as suffering from a “pigmentation dysfunction.” Similarly, we ought not to pathologize individuals who have different ways of thinking, relating, attending, and learning </p>
