A Cognitive Science Approach to Persuasive Writing
Original Program Date :
Length: 01:01
Cognitive science explores how people think and act. Sometimes folks rely upon gut reactions; other times they engage in a drawn-out deliberative process. Sometimes we depend upon biases; others we can set them aside.
In this course, Professor Ann Ching explores what scientists have learned and provides concrete advice for how we can incorporate those lessons in our legal writing.
