Did you know that audiences forget 90% of what you present? That is significant. To make matters worse, the 10% people remember differs between members of your audience. So how can you control the 10% they remember? In the past decade, brain imaging technology has dramatically increased our understanding of the brain. We now know more about the way our brains process information and ultimately remember it. Find out how to apply principles from cognitive neuroscience so you can deliver presentations with lasting impact. Specifically, you will learn 3 brain science principles converted to guidelines you can apply to your own presentations immediately.

USE BRAIN SCIENCE

Memorable Presentations Series

TO SPARK ACTION Dr. Carmen Simon, Rexi Media

PROMISE

Handle habituation to sustain attention and

drive behavior

Attract attention by using what your audiences sense,

know, and can infer

Assure deeper processing for better recall

HABITUATION

NEUROSCIENCE PRINCIPLE

Habituation is influenced by 2 factors: stimulus internal variation and subjective arousal

MODERN AUDIENCES HAVE INCREASED THEIR THRESHOLD

LEVELS OF PROCESSING

NEUROSCIENCE PRINCIPLE

The deeper the level of processing, the higher the likelihood that an item will be recalled.

LEVELS OF PROCESSING The deeper the level of processing, the higher

the probability that an item is retrieved
