Frontiers | PowerPoint® Presentation Flaws and Failures: A Psychological Analysis | Psychology

Electronic slideshow presentations are often faulted anecdotally, but little empirical work has documented their faults. In Study 1 we found that eight psychological principles are often violated in PowerPoint® slideshows, and are violated to similar extents across different fields – for example, academic research slideshows generally were no better or worse than business slideshows. In Study 2 we found that respondents reported having noticed, and having been annoyed by, specific problems in presentations arising from violations of particular psychological principles. Finally, in Study 3 we showed that observers are not highly accurate in recognizing when particular slides violated a specific psychological rule. Furthermore, even when they correctly identified the violation, they often could not explain the nature of the problem. In sum, the psychological foundations for effective slideshow presentation design are neither obvious nor necessarily intuitive, and presentation designers in all fields, from education to business to government, could benefit from explicit instruction in relevant aspects of psychology.

PowerPoint AI gets an upgrade and Designer surpasses a major milestone of 1 billion slides | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it
We’re excited to announce a major milestone in PowerPoint Designer usage, new Designer capabilities, and that our AI effort is moving beyond Designer with our new Presenter Coach.
Peter Mellow's insight:
Presenter Coach looks interesting. I've always said you need to practice talking with your PPT deck slides before the actual presentation. Multiple times! But being able to get some feedback is really valuable. People are best, but AI is good if you don't have people around.
