Most interesting to learn that pausing actually helps students' brain refocus and retention of new information is higher.  I teach cooking and yes, there is often an "uncomfortable pause" while waiting for the next step in a demonstration.  I try to use that time to reinforce the technique...but I am now going to incorporate more of the pause into both lecture and demonstration.  I see now how this can also help with building the critical thinking skills of students (allow them the time to formulate their own answers).
