Studying via smartphones or paper books … Which is better??
Studying via smartphones or paper books, many people feel uncomfortable studying or reading on a phone or tablet compared to studying or reading with the help of paper books.
The study reported that it has to do with people sighing more during the reading process, which makes them feel more engaged.
Dr. Motoyasu Honma of Showa University School of Medicine in Tokyo said, “We believe that deep sighing breathing lowers excessive brain activity and has a good effect on memory and reading comprehension.”

Researchers measured the breathing and brain activity of 34 people while they read on paper and on smartphones, discovering that people sighed 45 percent less when reading on a smartphone, and when they were later asked questions about syllables, their score was 17 percent lower on average.
Researchers measured the respiration and brain activity of 34 people while they read on paper and on smartphones, and discovered that people sighed 45 percent less when reading on a smartphone, and their syllable score was on average 17 percent lower.
The analysis showed changes in brain activity in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-order activities like reasoning.
The study, which was published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports, discovered that when people read on a smartphone, their prefrontal brain activity increases, impairing their understanding of the information being read this is thought to be due to the blue light emitted by the screen.
