Samuel Renshaw was a psychologist. His work was famous for a short period of time during WWII when he taught soldiers to identify enemy aircraft in a split-second. He generally worked with fast-reading and enhancing the latent ability of the mind. He believed that most people used only one-fifth of their available mind-power to process information and, through methods of flashing pages boasted students that could read upwards of 2,000 words a minute.
