Psychology of verbal intelligence
Why do your thoughts feel clear in your head but come out scrambled when you speak? In this video, we break down the psychology of verbal intelligence and how to articulate your thoughts clearly, without a bigger vocabulary.
We cover Daniel Oppenheimer's 2006 study on why fancy words make people seem less intelligent, Willem Levelt's model of speech production, Steven Pinker's web, string and tree framework, Nelson Cowan's working memory research, Frieda Goldman-Eisler's work on pauses, and Lev Vygotsky's ideas on thought and language.
Which of the five reasons is yours? Tell me in the comments.
