Poor communication speaker

If your speech is full of ums, ers and ahs and feeling ashamed of it. And do you think that this behavior of yours make the listeners mad. Don’t feel dishearten this behavior of yours make you the memorable speaker says the latest scientific research.

This behavior is often described as a poor communication. This disfluency slows down our speech making the listener to better understand and pay more attention.

Stirling and Edinburgh university scientists invited volunteers to listen to a number of statements that include disfluencies sentences. And the scientist conducted a series of test to find out how well the volunteers have understood the statements.

It twisted out that the ers inserted into the sentences had a momentous effect on the knack of the subjects to remember the information. After hearing typical sentences with inserted disfluencies, the volunteers got 62 per cent of words correct compared to 55 per cent for sentences with no trip over.

The disfluency becomes a useful break to the expected practice of things says Dr. Martin Corley. He also said that “It’s better to pay attention now, because what I expected was going to happen is in fact not going to happen” this is same as if we are saying to ourselves.

Till now politicians, broadcasters, lawyers and other speakers try to avoid this type of disfluencies from their speech. But now they might find that their ums may be judged as a part of clear communication.
