Los Angeles (California): Recorded lectures have become a new staple in the course instruction given the COVID-19 pandemic. College students often try to cram more learning into a shorter span by watching these recordings at double their normal speed or even faster. But does this affect their comprehension?
A new UCLA study has answered this question. The study, published in the journal 'Applied Cognitive Psychology', showed that students did retain information quite well when watching lectures at up to twice their actual speed.
