Hi everyone!This week, we give you episode three: “Violins and Violas.”You can find a nice (not Substack-generated) transcript of episode 3, as well as a music-free remix, here. In this week's episode, Joanna and I speak with the psychology researcher Tobi Abubakare about the bewildering history of psychology research connecting autism and theory of mind, as well as the harmful legacy of that research.“Violins and Violas”In the early 1980s, Simon Baron-Cohen, Uta Frith, and Alan Leslie conducted an experiment. They administered verbal false belief tests to a few autistic and non-autistic kids, and their results suggested that the autistic kids had a unique deficit in theory of mind. So they wrote up their results, and published a paper that would end up shaping autism research for decades.But here's the catch: those early experimental results couldn't be reliably replicated. And instead of giving up on the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism, researchers decided to go looking for new ways of measuring theory of mind in order to vindicate the “theory of mind deficit” idea.Tobi Abubakare (they/them), an autistic autism researcher and PhD candidate in clinical psychology, explains what caused those replication failures, why researchers clung to the “theory of mind deficit” view in spite of those failures, and how this type of research has affected autistic people. Plus, they have some important advice for researchers–with the help of a musical analogy.Topics Discussed* Baron-Cohen, Frith, and Leslie's paper, “Does the autistic child have theory of mind?” (00:31)* Why researchers got so excited about the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism. (03:11)* The failures to replicate Baron-Cohen et al.'s results, and the “methodological arms race” to develop new measures of theory of mind that would vindicate the theory of mind deficit view of autism. (06:27)* Tobi's introduction. (09:40)* Tobi's first explanation for those replication failures: small sample sizes. (11:26)* Tobi's second explanation for those replication failures: poorly characterized samples. (13:20)* Tobi's explanation for why the theory of mind deficit view remained influential, in spite of those failures of replication: it confirmed what researchers already believed about autistic people. (16:48)* Value-laden assumptions in autism research, and in research on race. (18:55)* How scientists (including autism researchers) can end up performing “mental gymnastics” in order to hang on to their theories. (20:46)* The strange notion that autistic people who pass false belief tests are “cheating” on the tests. (21:33)* How the theory of mind deficit view of autism causes real-world harm. (23:13) * Tobi's story about how the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism has impacted them personally. (23:54) * How the “theory of mind deficit” view of autism shapes many of our everyday interactions. (29:18)* Tobi's recommendations for researchers: when you're looking for a difference, ask yourself why you're looking for that difference, and then interrogate your assumptions about that difference.

Hello again, and welcome back! I bet you weren't expecting one of the “four horsemen of New Atheism” (a) to have come up with the most famous way of measuring “theory of mind” and (b) to appear on a neurodivergent philosophy podcast to discuss his smoldering hatred of the very concept of “theory of mind”—but here we are.You can find a nice (not Substack-generated) transcript of episode 2, as well as a music-free remix, here. “An Intellectualist Fossil”In 1964, Daniel Dennett (he/him) watched an Italian puppet show. And that puppet show gave him two ideas. Idea #1: scientists could (sort of, maybe) measure “theory of mind” by testing whether someone can track other people's false beliefs. This idea led to the development of the most well-known way of measuring “theory of mind”: false belief tests.Idea #2: false belief tests should not rely on verbal questions, because that would make the test results impossible to interpret. Instead, false belief tests should look for certain types of spontaneous behavior, like laughter.Unfortunately, psychologists ran with Dennett's first idea, while ignoring his second idea. And thus the ultimate autism mind-myth was born.Topics Discussed* The general concept of theory of mind (00:38)* The theory of mind deficit view of autism (02:08)* Joanna's encounter with the theory of mind deficit view of autism “in the wild” (i.e., at a philosophy conference) (05:32)* How Daniel Dennett came up with the idea of using false belief tests to measure theory of mind (08:59)* Dennett goes to the Punch and Judy show (10:38)* Dennett writes his commentary “Beliefs about Beliefs” (13:06)* Heinz Wimmer and Josef Perner use Dennett's idea to develop a false belief test for young children (14:38)* “Sally-Anne” false belief tests (15:11)* Psychologists' big mistake when deploying false belief tests to measure theory of mind (15:54)* Dennett's alternative to “theory of mind”: the intentional stance (18:05)* On Dennett's view, maybe some autistic people “do” theory of mind more than non-autistic people? (21:58) * Different strategies for perspective-taking, and their respective trade-offs (24:33) * Baron-Cohen, Frith, and Leslie's paper, “Does the autistic child have theory of mind?” (26:55)Sources Mentioned* Daniel Dennett, The Intentional Stance (MIT Press, 1989) and Breaking the Spell (Penguin, 2006).* David Premack and Guy Woodruff, “Does the chimpanzee have a theory of mind?” The Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 (1978), 515-526. https://carta.anthropogeny.org/sites/default/files/file_fields/event/premack_and_woodruff_1978.pdf * Daniel Dennett, “Beliefs about Beliefs,” Behavioral and Brain Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 (1978), 568-570. https://dl.tufts.edu/concern/pdfs/r207v163n * Jon Thursby's Punch and Judy Show (Punch and Judy Inc: https://punchandjudyinc.co.uk/)* Heinz Wimmer and Josef Perner, “Beliefs about beliefs: Representation and constraining function of wrong beliefs in young children's understanding of deception,” Cognition, Vol. 13, Issue 1 (1983), 103-128. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1983-27705-001 * Temple Grandin describes some of her experiences with perspective-taking (Dennett mentions her first-person account at 22:52): https://www.iidc.indiana.edu/irca/articles/social-problems-understanding-emotions-and-developing-talents.html * Simon Baron-Cohen, Uta Frith, and Alan Leslie, “Does the autistic child have theory of mind?” Cognition, Vol. 21, Issue 1 (1985), 36-47. https://docs.autismresearchcentre.com/papers/1985_BC_etal_ASChildTheoryOfMind.pdf CreditsHosting, Research, Fact-Checking, Script-Editing: Amelia Hicks and Joanna LawsonGuest: Daniel DennettMusic and Audio Production: Amelia HicksAdditional Voicework: Rach Cosker-RowlandThank-YousThank you to Rach Cosker-Rowland for lending us her voice to read some pieces of text for us!

Programa Vivir Rodando 177 (16ª Temporada / 19 Agosto 2023) Invitada: Irene Morán García El TEA (Trastorno del Espectro Autista), o el autismo, es un tipo de trastorno invisible, lo que aumenta la dificultad de las personas que lo tienen con su entorno y con los demás. El autismo sigue hoy siendo motivo de investigación, desde que Leo Kenner y Hans Asperger, allá por los años 40, publicarían investigaciones sobre el autismo para intentar caracterizar la naturaleza de la alteración subyacente. La profesora de desarrollo cognitivo Uta Frith lo definió como "un desconcertante trastorno, de efectos tan sutiles y atroces a la vez, que permite que haya un progreso evolutivo, pero impide cruelmente la plena integración en la comunidad". Y, como se insiste en VR, para que llegue esa integración todas las personas deben tener acceso al ocio y a la cultura. Para una persona con autismo, ir al cine muchas veces puede ser una tarea complicada; cuestiones como puntualidad o la iluminación pueden hacer que una persona con autismo no disfrute de la experiencia. Además, en el caso de los niños pueden determinar las actividades familiares que se pueden hacer o no. Para intentar solucionar esto una pionera llamada Irene Morán García creó hace siete años venTEA. Un proyecto de ocio inclusivo que, de forma individual, ha levantado para que, especialmente niños autistas y sus familias, puedan disfrutar de experiencias en cines, museos, restaurantes... En el caso del cine, el llamado venTEAlcine, se crean sesiones adaptadas, con unas condiciones para que el niño (o adulto) autista pueda disfrutar de la experiencia completamente. Sesiones adaptadas que no son excluyentes para personas autistas, sino que están abiertas a todo el mundo, y que actualmente se pueden encontrar con varias ciudades españolas. Toda la información de las sesiones de ocio inclusivo que hay, cómo se hacen o la manera de ayudar el proyecto se encuentra en la web venTEA.es Hoy en VR está Irene Morán García para hablar sobre el proyecto venTEA y sobre la experiencia de las personas con autismo como espectadores de cine.

Scientists are busy. Always with the next deadline in sight. Looking back at a century of technological progress and theoretical debate is quite a daunting task. Yet, taking some distance is always a good idea to ground your work.During their visit to the IMC, Arnault had the opportunity to organise a recording session with two lifelong researchers: Chris and Uta Frith. As we discuss the past 60 years of theoretical, technological and cultural changes they experienced in research. Their stories will take us through the beginnings of the IMC, the early days of neuroscience, and the evolution of research in the field of social cognition.To learn more about  the topics and resources mentioned in the episode, visit the Show Notes.

How many published articles and grant awards would you like to add to your CV this year? The more the better, right? But is life in the fast lane really the best way to do science?In her Trends in Cognitive Science (January 2020, vol. 24, no. 1) article, Uta Frith (University College, London) asserts that Fast Science is bad for scientists and for science.  She provides suggestions for ways in which researchers might pursue Slow Science and make faster progress as a result.  Slow Science may also lead to a shift in research culture that is more sustainable and healthier for researchers.LINK TO PAPER

Ground-breaking work by developmental psychologist Professor Uta Frith has revolutionised our understanding of autism. Beginning in the 1960s, Professor Frith's research has overturned the long-held belief that autism was a social or emotional disorder, showing instead that it's the result of physical differences in the brain. Uta Frith has been talking to Louise Hidalgo. Picture: Uta Frith at her desk at the Medical Research Council Developmental Psychology Unit in London in the late 60s/early 70s (exact date unknown). From the personal collection of Uta Frith.

Professor Uta Frith is a developmental psychologist with a special interest in autism and dyslexia. In this episode I chat to Uta about her career as a scientist who embraced public engagement at a time when most of her colleagues still saw it as something that serious scientists shouldn't be wasting their time with.

As part of Radio 3’s celebration of female composers, Michael Berkeley draws together some of his guests who have championed works by women. Turner Prize-winner Helen Cammock introduces the 17th-century Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi, and actor Greta Scacchi tells the story of her discovery of the 18th-century musician and composer Maria Cosway. There is music too by Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century writer, abbess and mystic, who is a role model for scientist Uta Frith; and a discussion of Clara Schumann and her complex relationship with husband Robert from biographer Lucasta Miller. Architect Daniel Libeskind champions the work of the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, whose work for him conjures up the glittering beauty of modern glass buildings. And Michael Berkeley reveals the answer to the question he’s frequently asked about this programme: which composer gets chosen most often? And the answer is that, apart from Bach, probably the most popular choice of all at the moment – from men, women, young, old, artists, scientists, writers – is Nina Simone.

Famous for writing some of Edwardian Britain’s most terrifying ghost stories, M.R. James FBA was also a respected paleographer and medievalist scholar. Psychologist Uta Frith FBA recounts fond memories of growing up with his tales and talks to Dr Christopher de Hamel about why we love to be scared.

For forty years, Uta Frith has dedicated her life to understanding the enigma of autism; she was one of the first neuroscientists to recognise autism as a condition of the brain, rather than the result of cold parenting. She works at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, alongside her husband, Chris Frith, who’s a specialist in mapping the brain through neuro-imaging. Elected to the Royal Society in 2005, she’s passionate about encouraging more women into careers in science. When Professor Frith first published her influential research into autism in the 1980s, she says it evoked “strong emotional reactions”, and autism remains controversial today, as it is increasingly viewed not as a disability, but as simply a different way of seeing the world. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Uta Frith talks about the little boy she met very early on in her research who inspired her, and about why autism is so fascinating – because of what it reveals about the mystery of human communication. Music choices include works by Smetana, Hildegard von Bingen and Beethoven, a Berlin cabaret song from the 1920s, and a work by Professor Frith's great female role model, Clara Schumann.

Dame Professor Uta Frith is a developmental psychologist. Her capacity to break down barriers began at school, where she attended the local boys' school in Germany to pursue her interests in science and maths - the start of a long and illustrious career. Uta arrived in London in the 1960's at a time of liberation and exploration, and her subsequent work at University College London changed the way both the scientific community and wider society view those with autism and dyslexia, leading to significant changes in education and health policy. Uta was the first scientist to really listen to those with autism and dyslexia and their families, and their input impacted the theories she chose to test in subsequent rigorous scientific experiments. Uta's work has been published in every major journal and she is one of the most highly regarded scientists of the last 50 years. As a woman in a field dominated by men when she commenced her career, she is also passionate about improving the lot of women in science, launching a network for female scientists in London several years ago and encouraging women as much as she can. Uta's warmth, humour and enthusiasm for her subject is tangible, so listen on!

Autism is a neuro-developmental disorder with a prevalence of about one in 100 births. Although we assume that this disorder has always been with us, and Rab Houston and I identified a case from the 18th century, it was not given a label until the 1940s. Hans Asperger, a Viennese pediatrician, and Leo Kanner, an American child psychiatrist, both used the label ‘autistic’ to characterise the condition. It took another thirty years until it was understood that it was not rare, but there was a whole spectrum of autistic conditions, all sharing the core symptoms of impaired social communication and repetitive and restricted behaviours. To explain these symptoms I mention two proposals: the ‘Theory of mind’ account, explaining the communication impairment; the ‘Weak central coherence account’, explaining the focus on detail. Uta Frith is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at UCL’s Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.

From the plumbing of ancient Rome, to lead acid batteries, paint, petrol and a dangerous legacy, the metal lead has seen a myriad of uses and abuses over thousands of years. In bullets, and poisons it has killed us both quickly and slowly, and yet its malleability, low melting point and resistance to corrosion make it a fantastic material for all kinds of containers and water proofing. And it is key to one of the most commonly used, and ignored, devices on the planet, the car battery. However it's only recently that the serious impact of lead poisoning on the development of children's brains has come to light. Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at University College London, who studied the impact of lead poisoning in the 1970s and 80s, journeys with lead from the iron age to the present day delving into the history and scandal associated with this often overlooked element.

The Mind V The Brain. It's one of the hardest problems in neuroscience. How do the chemical processes and electric signals produced by our brains result in the complex and varied experiences and sense of self that we might describe as our mind? Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by comedian Katy Brand, and neuroscientists Professor Uta Frith and Professor Sophie Scott to ask whether the mind is simply a product of the biology of our brain, or is there more to it than that? Can you have a brain without a mind, and is the mind simply an unexpected consequence, an emergent property, of our highly evolved and sophisticated brain. They'll also be tackling the question of free will, and whether we really have any, and if you could in theory simulate a fully working brain, with all its signals and complexity, would a mind naturally emerge?

When we talk about psychiatry and its history we delve deeply into all aspects of human life: mind and body, emotions and experiences, thoughts and moods, the self and others, lay and expert opinion, health and illness, science and society, normal and abnormal, liberty and compulsion. In this last set of three podcasts I want to explain why I think that knowing about the history of psychiatry matters to modern mental health specialists. And to all of us. This podcast looks at the fertile exchanges that can take place between medical researchers and historians. Image of the week: Professor Uta Frith [copyright Uta Frith; from RAH]

Dame Professor Uta Frith is a fellow of The Royal Society and one of the most highly regraded and decorated psychologist of her generation. Her ground breaking research into autism and dyslexia underpins much of our contemporary understanding of these conditions and has influenced educators and researchers around the world. In this episode, Uta invites Zoe to her home to hear about the things that have made her and have a spot of lunch.

Earlier in the year, the reported remarks about 'the problem with girls' by British biologist and Nobel Laureate Professor Tim Hunt' brought the issues facing women scientists into public spotlight. Although there have been questions about the reports of what exactly happened and what was said during Hunt's talk in South Korea, the story has given female researchers the rare opportunity to air the problems of gender bias in science to a much wider audience. What are the factors holding back women in science? What can be done to improve gender equality in the lab? Claudia Hammond talks to women scientists in India, Nigeria, Bolivia, the US and the UK about their experiences and views. The programme features: ecologist Monica Moraes at the Universidad Mayor de San Andres in Bolivia; neuroscientist Jennifer Raymond in Stanford, California; psychologist Uta Frith at UCL in London; chemist Paul Walton of the University of York; and physicists Rabia Salihu Sa'id at Bayero University in northern Nigeria and Shobhana Narasimhan of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore. Professor Narasimhan also organises career development workshops for women physicists in low-income countries at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics.

Anne McElvoy talks to the Pulitzer Prize winner, Katherine Boo about her book, Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Jackie Wullschlager reviews the literally luminous new show at Tate Liverpool which features the late work of Twombly, Turner and Monet; one of our New Generation thinkers, Timothy Secret, reflects on how we mourn our dead and Uta Frith, Harry Collins and Marcus Chown explore a new twist on the legacy of one of the great scientific minds of the 20th Century, Alan Turing.

Professor Uta Frith came from a grey post war Germany to Britain in the swinging sixties, when research into conditions such as autism and dyslexia was in its infancy. At the time many people thought there was no such thing as dyslexia and that autism was a result of cold distant parenting, but Professor Frith was convinced that the explanation for these enigmatic conditions lay in the brain. And she set out to prove this through a series of elegant experiments. Together with her students Francesca Happe and Simon Baron Cohen she developed the idea that people with autism find it hard to understand the intentions of others, known as theory of mind. Neuro-imaging experiments carried out with her husband Professor Chris Frith, meant she was able to show that there is a region in the brain which is linked to dyslexia. Uta Frith talks about her pioneering work that has changed how we view these brain disorders with Jim Al Khalili. Producer: Geraldine Fitzgerald.

From the 2005/2006 Distinguished Lecturer Series. Abstract: Should autism researchers focus solely on identifying the ultimate biological causes of autism? Researchers must also work towards understanding what kind of thing autism is. What does it mean for an individual to have autistic disorder? Knowing the causes of the disorder cannot answer this question. We will only understand what autism is when we look at a whole causal chain of step-by-step explanations. This causal chain needs to be built by connecting biology and behaviour. The middle ground between biology and behaviour is cognition. This middle ground helps us to develop theories that explain signs and symptoms of autism by rigorously tested experiments, and thus to build vital links in the long chain of causes. Three cognitive theories are currently trying to explain the social and non-social features of autism, the difficulties and strengths. One proposal is that individuals with autism suffer from executive dysfunction, which might explain their rigidity and repetitive behaviour patterns, as well as many of their practical difficulties in everyday life. Another proposal, aimed at explaining the typically uneven profile of intellectual functioning and the phenomenon of savant skills, is that of a detail-focussed processing style. This is often referred to as "weak central coherence". A third theory is targeted at the social and communication impairments and is often referred to as "mindblindness". I will suggest that these proposals are complementary rather than contradictory, and that they help us to refine the phenotype of autism so that it has a better chance to be mapped to the genotype.

From the 2005/2006 Distinguished Lecturer Series. Abstract: Impairments in social communication are the hallmark of autism spectrum disorders. Yet, the nature of these impairments, which can range from severe to mild, is hard to define. Thus, many different aspects of social interaction appear to be affected, resulting in a great deal of heterogeneity in the clinical picture. These aspects include poor emotion processing, poor imitation, poor verbal and non-verbal communication, poor face processing, poor gaze control, and poor language comprehension. One thread that runs through these impairments is what has been termed "mindblindness" or "lack of theory of mind". By this is meant the ability to attribute mental states to other people, or mentalizing for short. Mentalizing is not an intangible and highly sophisticated conscious process. Instead it is a cognitive capacity that is automatically triggered by specific stimuli, such as the movement of other agents, the orientation of eye gaze, or the form and content of speech. Mentalizing has probably evolved from the ability to understand others' actions and intentions and the necessity to react quickly to conspecifics and other creatures, who could be predators or prey. This mechanism has an identifiable basis in the brain and develops rapidly in early childhood. It enables human beings to read each other's minds - in a manner of speaking, and to predict remarkably well what others are going to do next. Behavioural studies over the last twenty years have shown that mentalizing is severely delayed or absent in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. This cognitive deficit may explain a number of their social impairments, such as persistent social naivety. Brain imaging studies have shown that in high-functioning individuals with autism spectrum disorders the brain's mentalizing system shows reduced activation and weaker connection between its components.
