Jacquelyn Berry Speaking Topics

  • Culturally Relevant Tests and Measures

    Bilingualism does not only affect speaking, reading, and writing. Indeed, research has shown that basic mental function is impact by different cultures and languages. It is the job of social scientists, psychologists, and technologists to make human-user interfaces that are culture-neutral.

    Attendee outcomes:

    • A new-found respect and appreciation for how bilingualism affects the most basic functions such as perception and counting.
    • A recognition of how our teaching and learning strategies are biased by our culture and language

    Target audiences: Educators, Scientists, Lawyers, and Doctors/Clinicians

  • Social Science is W.E.I.R.D.

    Psychology and other social sciences are W.E.I.R.D., meaning they come from countries that are WESTERN, EDUCATED, INDUSTRIALIZED, RICH and DEMOCRATIC. However, research has shown a distinct difference in the psychological structures of those who are WEIRD and those who are not. The impetus is for social scientists to include researchers and participants with an international perspective.

    Attendee outcomes:

    • Attendees are taught strategies for reaching out to non-wester scientists and potential participants.
    • Attendees are shown how WEIRD bias can affect academia.

    Target audiences: Educators, Scientists, and Policy-makers

  • FIND YOUR CARROT

    Life is not simple unless you make it so. One way to do that is to organize your life around your goals so you are never scattered or lost. What's that carrot guiding you forward? What do you want to sink your teeth into? This talk is motivational and is based on Dr. Berry's book which shows listeners how to properly set their goals.

    Attendee outcomes:

    • New strategies for goal-setting they can institute immediately.
    • Life and spiritual reasons why you cannot wait to get on the path to your true self.

    Target audiences: Motivational contexts, Inspiration, Spiritual groups, General audiences

  • AI is Never Going to Take Over the World. Ever.

    Many fear the rise of Artificial Intelligence and that it might take over key systems making humans it's servants. That's about as likely to happen as 'Planet of the Apes.'

    The reality is that AI is too stupid to take over the world simply because of how machine learning works. In essence, what a 1 year old knows, who can't even talk, a machine learning must be ""shown"" millions of times. Without the capacity for top down learning AI has no hope.

    Attendee outcomes:

    • A high level debate about the capacity for AI to take over the world.
    • What social scientists know that everyone else does not about why that will never happen.
    • An understanding that AI is not a ""colonizer.""

    Target audiences: AI discussions/debates, News (expert opinion), General audiences

  • INSIDE-OUT LEARNING

    As a professor, my extensive experience has shown that people learn far better when they can DO the work behind the theory rather than just being lectured at.

    Dr. Berry has started a new way of teaching cognitive psychology where the students get to participate in the experiments before learning the theory and then conduct their own experiments. This method has produced a new way of teaching and learning psychology.

    Attendee outcomes:

    • Ideas for how to implement inside-out learning in their own teaching
    • An understanding of what engages students

    Target audiences: Educators, Scientists, and Policy-makers
