Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel casasanto

Have you heard? In episode 65 of Overthink, Ellie and David continue the series on the five senses as they discuss hearing. From wanting to close your ears to stop overhearing a conversation to the noise pollution outside your bedroom window, how does the sense of hearing make its way into our everyday lives? They also discuss how Deaf culture calls upon us to retool our understanding of the importance of hearing for human life.

Dr. Daniel Casasanto has a knack for explaining complex and abstract concepts in a such a digestible way that you're left leaving the conversation inspired. And this comes at no surprise. After receiving his PhD in Cognitive Science from MIT and currently a professor and active researcher at Cornell, he's spent almost two decades exploring how language, culture, and bodily experiences influence the way people think, feel, and make decisions. By exploring how people with different experiences think differently, we can better understand universal processes by which people turn concrete interactions with their environment into abstract thoughts. During our conversation, he shares his insight into how language affects our perception and relativity of time, how our right- or left-handedness affects our subconscious understanding of what is good, and how these same hand tendencies affect our approach-avoidance behavior. We discuss all this and more.

Höger och vänster är begrepp som genomsyrar hela vårt samhälle. Vi har högertrafik, står till vänster eller höger i politiken och är antingen vänster- eller högerhänta. Men vilken betydelse har de här orden i det verkliga livet?Daniel Casasanto, professor i psykologi vid The New School for Social Research i New York menar att vår höger- och vänsterhänthet påverkar hur vi väljer. I sin forskning lät han personer titta på två ansikten och det visade sig att högerhänta hade en tendens att ge mer positiva omdömen om personen som stod just till höger, vänsterhänta var däremot mer förtjusta i den som stod  till vänster.Även vår hjärna delas upp i vänster och höger, förenklat brukar man säga att den högra sidan är mer känslomässig medan den vänstra står för det logiska tänkandet. Men hur väl stämmer det här egentligen? Hamid Ghatan, hjärnforskare vid Karolinska institutet, reder ut begreppen. Dessutom: Det viktigaste i livet är hälsan, men vad kan man egentligen få veta om hur man egentligen mår? Kropp och själ går på hälsoundersökning. Programledare: Danjel Nam
