Is this for real? It sounds like a superloadofcrap. Possibly its real bunk pseudoscience... Is there an external link to back this up, or is it VfD material? --Mouser 05:31, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Same question. Does it really work?--Jondel 03:52, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
If the evidence presented in the book is true, the system is irrefutable. You can probably find some information, and there are printed materials that can be tracked down. As soon as I can dig up a copy, I'll be able to provide detailed publishing information on the book, if you'd like. Actually, there's probably information on a web site, but I don't feel like looking. :-D - Herbert 06:26, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
I think this page is not correct (neither NPOV) saying Lozanov was the father of superlearning. Please check http://www.gu.edu.au/school/lal/japanesemain/whatsnot.html and let me know your opinion
I've read the book - without really knowing whether or not it is bogus or not. There are some critisism about the evidence in Bulgarian Lazanovs experiments. It has been claimed that his students learn far more quickly than in other learning situations - however, the setup hasn't been validated. For example Lozanov hasn't been willing to try out "just any group of students" - his school is/was(?) in very high demand at a time, which allowed the school to handpick their students. With talented and gifted students you stand a better chance of getting good results, so it is therefore not possible for me to believe whether or not his theory is water-proof or not. However, there has been lot of talk about "The Mozart effect" - difficult children calm down, music played in public spaces keeping drug-addicts and violence away in at least the capital of Denmark that I'ved come across in the news, etc. etc. But also the so-called Mozart effect has been drawn into doubt. In other words, get enough sleep, eat variated food and sit down - concentrate and get to it. Expect no "easy" short-cut - or at least: spend time looking for an "easier" way to learn AFTER you have done your homeworks. Aputsiaq, Nov 29, 2004.
If it wasn't bogus it wouldn't have fallen into obscurity. things that work grow and gain acclaim, this is jsut more psudo-science, for sale on amazon.
[edit] Superlearning
I suggest you have not read the history and mission of Superlearning authors. They wrote a research book on music and Superlearning. Not for marketing but as academics. Vist www.superlearning.com and www.superlearning.ca for the history. All learning materials have been at the request of students to speed their learning process along. 24.82.209.203 05:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
