The partners in one group held video 📹 conferences, while the others held audio-only 🎙️ conferences. The researchers evaluated each pair’s ability to take turns speaking while also rating…

People’s capacity for memory is enhanced when numbers are CONVERTED INTO CONCEPTS they can comprehend 🧐 📍A number may not always be necessary to communicate a point. CREATE A STORY INSTEAD, ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR NUMBERS 🤔 📚In “MAKING NUMBERS COUNT: The Art and Science of Communicating Numbers” Stanford Business School professor Chip Heath and co-writer Karla Starr find that “nobody really understands numbers.” 🤯 🧠 The human brain IS NOT CAPABLE of quickly recognizing quantities BIGGER THAN FIVE.
