ScienceDaily (Feb. 25, 2010) — The human brain excels at using past experiences to make predictions about the future. However, the world around us is constantly changing, and new events often violate our logical expectations.

ScienceDaily (Feb. 14, 2010) — Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests.

Six Minutes Speaking and Presentation Skills is a website with lots of resources for speakers. It is maintained by Andrew Dlugan, a Canadian speaker, trainer and coach. Dlugan is not a 'quick fixer', his information is sound and considered and as far as I can tell, in every way in line with current knowledge and science about what makes a good presentation. He also publishes critiques of video recorded speeches, a very effective way to learn good speaking skills. There is also a form and some good advice on how to do your own critiques. |

ScienceDaily (Feb. 2, 2010) — Despite the common association of "right" with life, correctness, positiveness and good things, and "left" with death, clumsiness, negativity and bad things, recent research shows that most left-handed people hold the opposite association. Thus, left-handers become an interesting case in which conceptual associations as a result of a sensory-motor experience, and conceptual associations that rely on linguistic and cultural norms, are contradictory. |
