Back to EpisodesAre you are putting your kids under more stress during lockdown by ignoring the picture superiority effect in your home school instructions to them.
Description
We are now subjecting our children to intense stress by ignoring the picture superiority effect, and we can do something about it. The PSE says "Items studied as pictures are better remembered than items studied as words even when test items are presented as words." Then why am I receiving all my 11 year old daughters' home school instructions as long form bullet pointed list which an 11-year-old is supposed to both understand and comply with and finally to be motivated by.
In this episode I invoke Wiio's law of miscommunication, and urge everyone to start to send information in the format that the audience is going to find most appealing; and to an 11 year old that's got to be moving images! It's not much different for the big kids who are working from home also using MS Teams.
