Irish researchers studied 24 healthy older adults aged between 55 and 70 who undertook six weeks of rote learning by memorising a newspaper article or poem of about 500 words, followed by six weeks of rest. The context should place the students in a situation similar to the one in which they are going to apply the knowledge where understanding is much more important than memorising facts. These repeated paraphrases created a Bible Babel, where true understanding is obscured, not enhanced, where memorising the Bible becomes impossible, and where the old Bible culture of the Christian West is weakened almost to a vanishing point. |
