L = Lectures don't allow for Learning

Post by najmus96 »

Too often we think that our brain is a simple tape recorder, but this is the furthest definition from reality that we can say. This is because our attention span is really short, we are even talking about less than 10 minutes…

To keep your audience from falling asleep, introduce a new concept every 10 minutes.
Many studies have been conducted on various conferences and lessons held within American universities and it has been discovered that after the first 10 minutes of presentation, where the attention of the audience is very high, there was an inexorable decline until the last 10 minutes of presentation where the audience wakes up from its lethargy…

What's going on? Why does attention hungary phone number data peak in the last 10 minutes?

Usually the speaker pronounces the fateful words: and to sum up …

At this point, with these precise words, the audience thinks that it is possible to really learn something from the talk without having to spend too much energy and reactivates their attention. Obviously this depends a lot on the presenter's ability to summarize, but surely there will be connections and concepts that the audience will have inevitably missed...

How can we solve this?

What you can do in your presentations is to implement concepts that are presented 10 minutes at a time , in this way we could always rekindle the attention of our audience and make sure that they are able to follow the whole presentation learning as much as possible.

Inserting multimedia files such as video or audio allows your story to stay active and to rekindle the attention of your audience, although, most of the time, it is enough to let the audience speak out loud and discuss the topics that have just been presented to improve both attention and learning processes.
