Most PowerPoint presentations are: BLcompelling BLilluminating BLinformative BLclear and to the point Answer: False Make a change following the principles of Stephen Kosslyn: BLa world authority on the visual brain BLa clear and engaging writer Making PowerPoint presentations that are clear, compelling, memorable, and even enjoyable is not an obscure art. In this book, Stephen Kosslyn, a renowned cognitive neuroscientist, presents eight simple principles for constructing a presentation that takes advantage of the information modern science has discovered about perception, memory, and cognition. Using hundreds of images and sample slides, he shows the common mistakes many people make and the simple ways to fix them. For example, never use underlining to emphasize a word--the line will cut off the bottom of letters that have descending lines (such as p and g), which interferes with the brain's ability to recognize text. Other tips include why you should state your conclusion at the beginning of a presentation, when to use a line graph versus a bar graph, and how to use color correctly. By following Kosslyn's principles, anyone will be able to produce a presentation that works! 318037 13 8 2007 Clear and to the PowerPoint: How to Use 8 Psychological Principles to Produce Brilliant PowerPoint Presentations total:5|4:3|3:1|2:1| 5 17 25 1 4 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 29 09:39:09 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 19 21:20:49 -0700 2009
