-Writing by hand can boost memory and learning because it engages more parts of the brain, making the information stick more effectively than typing.
Why is active listening important in communication?
-Active listening is important because it helps in making sense of what someone else is saying, using the extra brain power to stay focused, which is crucial for understanding others, solving problems, and building relationships.
What is the brain's capacity for processing speech compared to the average speaking rate?
-The brain can process speech at a rate of up to 600 words per minute, but most people speak at only 150 words per minute.
How does speaking involve the coordination of muscles in the body?
-When you speak, your brain coordinates over 100 muscles in your face, throat, and chest to produce sounds.
What impact does the tone of your voice have on how others perceive you?
-The tone of your voice affects how others perceive you, with studies showing that people are more likely to trust a deeper voice.
How does viewing help in gathering information in communication?
-Viewing helps in gathering information that isn't spoken or written, as the brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text, allowing for instant communication of a lot of information.
Why are visuals like pictures, videos, or body language effective in communication?
-Visuals are effective because they communicate a lot of information quickly and are often remembered more vividly than words alone due to the brain's faster processing of visual information.
What is the main takeaway from the video regarding the importance of communication skills?
-The main takeaway is that these communication skills are important for connecting with the world and with each other, and improving them can make one a powerful communicator.
What does the acronym 'KRW' stand for in the context of the video?

Outlines
đ Essential Communication Skills: Reading
This paragraph introduces the first essential communication skill: reading. It explains that reading involves understanding written symbols like letters and words. The speaker shares a science fact about neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to form new connections between neurons, especially in language and vision areas, when reading. This process makes the brain more adaptable and better at processing information.
âïž Writing: The Art of Expressing Thoughts in Written Form
The second paragraph focuses on writing, the process of putting thoughts, ideas, or information into written form. It emphasizes writing's importance in communication, especially when face-to-face interaction is not possible. A science fact highlights that hand writing can boost memory and learning more effectively than typing, as it engages more parts of the brain, helping to retain information better.
đ Active Listening: The Key to Understanding Others
This paragraph discusses the third communication skill, active listening, which is about truly hearing and understanding what others are saying. It explains that good listening is crucial for understanding, problem-solving, and building relationships. The speaker provides a science fact about the brain's ability to process speech much faster than the average speaking rate, which is why active listening is important to stay focused and avoid distractions.
đŁïž Speaking: The Direct Mode of Communication
The fourth paragraph is about speaking, the act of verbally sharing thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. Speaking is highlighted as a direct method of communication, whether it's casual conversation, a phone call, or a presentation.

đ Viewing: Interpreting Visual Information
The final paragraph discusses viewing, the skill of interpreting and understanding visual information such as pictures, videos, or body language. It explains that viewing helps gather information that isn't spoken or written and shares a science fact that the brain processes visuals much faster than text, which is why visual information is often remembered more vividly than words alone.

Transcripts
hey everyone welcome to communication
with doy and you're watching the one and
only So today we're breaking down five
essential communication skills and I
think you know this already I'll share
some cool science facts along the way so
what are we waiting for let's get
started number one hey let me just ask
you a question what do you call this
skill that is about looking at written
symbols like letters and words and
understanding what they mean as well
that is reading so whether you're
flipping through a book SC scrolling
through social media or checking out the
news reading helps you learn get
informed and even entertain yourself let
me just give you a quick science fact
did you know that reading actually
rewies your brain so whenever you read
your brain forms new connections between
neurons especially in areas related to
language and vision this process is
known as
neuroplasticity it makes your brain more
adaptable and better at processing
information all right the second one
what do you call the process of putting
your thoughts ideas or information down
in a written form using of course
letters and words H think than than well
the answer is
writing writing is a key for
communication when you can't speak face
to face it's how we send emails jut down
notes or even share our stories let me
just give you a quick science fact
writing by hand can boost memory and
learning Studies have shown that writing
is helpful to retain information better
it's better than typing this is because
the act of forming Letters by hand
engages more parts of your brain making
the information stick and more
effectively the next skill is
this this is about really hearing and
understanding what someone else is
saying
it's actually more than hearing words
it's about making sense of
them and and that
is of course
listening well good listening is crucial
for understanding others and solving
problems and building relationships in
fact our brains can process speech at a
rate of up to 600 words per minute
but most people speak at only 150 words
per
minute so this Gap means our brains have
a lot of spare processing power and
that's why you know we can easily be
distracted while listening
therefore everybody listening is or more
particularly active listening is about
using the extra brain power to stay
focused all right next try to identify
what skill is this this is the act of
verbally sharing your thoughts feelings
and ideas with others of course you use
your mouth
there and that is speaking you got it
right speaking is how you communicate
directly with others whether it's a
casual chat or a phone call or giving a
presentation let's put science in it
when you speak your brain coordinates
over 100 muscles in your face throw
chest to produce sounds and here's a
cool fact the tone of your voice affect
how others perceive you Studies have
shown that people are more likely to
trust a deeper Voice last but not the
least try to discern what what kind of
skill is this so this is about
interpreting and understanding visuals
like
pictures videos or even someone's body
language H think think think that is
viewing viewing helps you gather
information that isn't spoken or written
a cool fact you know your brain
processes visuals 60,000 times faster
than text that's why
you know videos and images and facial
expressions can communicate so much
information in an instant that's also
why we often remember visual information
more vividly than words alone I don't
know what floor I am now but that's a
wrap everyone so we've just discussed
the five communication skills and
hopefully all these things will be
helpful as you get to improve in the
