The Difference Between Reading Listening To A Book

There is no real difference betweenlistening to a book and reading as the mental processes involved are the same.Studies show that listeners and readers retain about equal understanding of the passages they’ve consumed.

There are slight differences between them, one being that it’s really easy for your mind to wander when you’re listening to an audiobook, but some scientists believe it amounts to the same as the involuntary rereading eye movements we do while reading.
