Psychology of Verbal Intelligence: How To Articulate Your Thoughts Intelligently.

Why can't you say what you mean, even when you know exactly what you mean? In this video, we break down the psychology of verbal intelligence and how to articulate your thoughts clearly and intelligently. We look at Russell Hurlburt's research on inner experience and why your thoughts often show up as images, feelings, and fuzzy ideas instead of finished sentences. We cover Barbara Minto's answer-first method (the Pyramid Principle) for speaking clearly without rambling. We use Sian Beilock's research on choking under pressure to explain why your mind goes blank when people are watching. We also look at Michelene Chi's 1994 self-explanation research and why speaking your ideas out loud trains your brain to organize them. Which of these is yours: unfinished thoughts, starting without a point, pressure blanking your mind, too many words, or never practicing out loud?
