There were 3 situations today where the second case arose:
I asked whether GTP was less stable than ATP in AP Bio (I wanted to understand how it was possible that GTP + ADP → GDP + ATP, and if this was the case, why ATP was used at all). My teacher thought I was asking about it from an evolutionary standpoint, and started explaining the evolution of the system.
I have a tendency to speak in short bursts of content in which I think I often underestimate inferential distances. (My internal monologue normally consists of vaguely used phrases + a sense of what I mean, which I think this carries over into my speech).
I’m realizing that I find it difficult to phrase sentences correctly. I rewrite almost every sentence I type many times over because I’m not sure about grammar and word arrangement (I spent a minute thinking about whether I should wrap “many times over” in a pair of commas at the start of this sentence).
I’m so sorry but I haven’t been able to think of any specific books, although the first case it seems like your problem could be a matter of the Availability Heuristic—your teacher answered a different question to the one you asked because quite simply it was easier for them to recall the knowledge about the evolution of the system than the relative stability of GTP to ATP.
I’m not sure if there is anything in Kahneman’s Thinking Fast, Slow which might offer your practical techniques for priming listeners the right way. If anything you might be better served by the books of Robert Cialdini or even literature on sales—my thinking here is sales people often think about the structure (or in Aristotelian terms the Kairos) that they present different options which in effect ‘primes’ the customer to different Semantic and Mental frameworks.
Sorry that I can’t point to any specific books. I could guess on some specific techniques that I think might aid your communication but I’ve been wracking my brain and can’t think of any books that I know hit the mark.
Thank you for your response!
