How to really know what your audience is thinking.To be a great communicator, you have to get out of your own head. But that's not all, says Matt Lieberman. According to him, you also have to get into the head of someone else.“Mind-reading is this remarkable ability that humans have,” explains Lieberman, a professor of psychology, director of UCLA's Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, and author of Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect. But even as we engage in perspective-taking, Lieberman says our attempts to mind-read often miss the mark. Instead, he advocates for “perspective-getting” — where we don't just intuit what others think, we ask them directly. “That is where more productive conversation comes from,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lieberman and host Matt Abrahams explore insights from social neuroscience that can help us communicate more effectively. From understanding how our brains process social interactions to recognizing our own assumptions, he reveals why successful communication requires both humility and genuine curiosity about how others see the world.Episode Reference Links:Matt Lieberman Matt's Book: Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to ConnectEp.24 Feelings First: How Emotion Shapes Our Communication, Decisions, and ExperiencesEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's Emotions Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:14) - The Social Brain (05:15) - Neuroscience in Business (07:14) - The Science of Persuasion (11:46) - Social Pain & Connection (15:04) - Tackling Loneliness (17:56) - The Final Three Questions (24:01) - Conclusion ********Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium.

Dr. Reilly earned her B.A. in Animal Behavior and Spanish from Bucknell University. She spent two years in the postbaccalaureate IRTA program in the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at the National Institute of Mental Health prior to graduate school. Dr. Reilly completed her M.A. and Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences at Georgia State University where she studied social cognition in nonhuman primates at the Language Research Center. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Hecht Lab, she uses a comparative approach to investigate the neural and hormonal correlates of social cognition and behavior. In this episode, we talk about social cognition in primates, with a focus on capuchin monkeys. We talk about affiliative behaviors and the role of oxytocin in capuchin monkeys, and we talk specifically about fur-rubbing behavior. We then get into sex differences in the brains of capuchin monkeys, the factors that might play a role in them, and how they compare to sex differences in the brains of humans. We also talk about Dr. Reilly's current projects, involving capuchin monkeys, and also dogs and human children. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Please take our listener survey: https://bit.ly/3YxfDm2 THANK YOU! In today's episode, we explore the social cognition found within our own species, and what the benefit to every person might be if we deepen our understanding of the wide variety of intelligences of human beings. We hear from two researchers at the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Sue Fletcher-Watson, and her colleague, Dr. Catherine Crompton, about their study examining the social cognition of autism, which shines new light on the comfort and confidence that autistic people can experience in communication and community with other neurodivergent people, and how everyone benefits when autistic people's needs are supported. We'll also hear from three participants in the doctors' research, who discuss their own experiences as autistic people in a world designed for and by the non-autistic.

In this episode, we discuss Autism and the Default Mode Network. According to Lisa Feldman-Barrett, the Default Mode Network has many names because it has been discovered, named, rediscovered, and renamed many times. I do not disagree with the Science regarding Autism and the Default Mode Network. However, I disagree with the Interpretation of the Data. This IS our Default; our preferred state; the core of the Autistic Phenotype.After listening to this episode and understanding B.3, you can understand MOST of Autism. The only reason you cannot understand ALL of Autism from these two episodes is the amount of Phenotypes branching off of B.3 and our Default Mode. Autism IS preference for ALONENESS and SAMENESS. This minimizes sensations and distractions that interfere with our internal world. This state is NOT abnormal, how society interferes with it makes it abnormal.If you want more Autistics to ACHIEVE, then understand your interaction, interference, and interpretation of what YOU think Autism is provides the delta of how much we are prevented in life. This, of course, becomes slightly different the more profound the Autistic Phenotype is with that specific person.In this episode, we will explore the different brain regions and the goals of these regions as it relates to our phenotypes. We will get into some "Thinking in Picture" and thinking styles. This will be a good time because of a future guest on From the Spectrum Podcast discussing Autism and Creativity.

In this episode, we explore three regions associated with social awareness- the medial Prefrontal Cortex, the Anterior Cingulate Cortex, and the Insula. We review the functions of each, the interactions between each region, and the inputs and bi-directional connections to some crucial areas of the brain. In large part, we will review adaptive responses and cover some scientific literature on these regions and the implications to Autism.https://molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13229-024-00593-6https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9354837/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6766703/#:~:text=Schematic%20structure%20of%20different%20regions,and%20infralimbic%20cortex%20(IL).https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(12)01108-7?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0896627312011087%3Fshowall%3Dtruehttps://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-024-06016-9https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763409000815?via%3Dihub#aep-section-id15https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17470919.2023.2242095https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006322308011578(0:00) Intro; mPFC, ACC, and Insula(3:26) mPFC, Excitation / Inhibition; CNTNAP2, SHANK3, Neuroligin, and PTEN(7:42) Functions of mPFC and a primary dive into Adaptive Responses; Neuromodulators(13:52) ACC(15:23) the mPFC and ACC lead the way(19:29) Scientific Studies on Theory of Mind Task and Sensory Processing(21:52) Insula(26:49) Scientific Study: Eye Gaze, Social Attention, Social Cognition, Observational Learning(30:11) Social and Nonsocial Studies- different areas for Autistics versus Non-Autistic(32:38) A study using 6-week-old Infants, attentional biases and sensorimotor and different brain areas(35:05) Wrap Upemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Imagine connecting deeply with those around you, mastering the art of seeing the unseen, and nurturing spaces where empathy and understanding flourish. That's the essence of social awareness. Through the enlightening tales of Tiffany and Aneladee, we see the blueprint for not just leading but inspiring in our communities and homes. Ever heard about the church leader who, with his sheer presence, made everyone—from senators to the Harlem Globetrotters—feel incredibly seen? This isn't about grand gestures but about making each interaction a moment of genuine connection. It's a lesson for us: the most profound impacts come from making others feel truly valued. Tiffany and Aneladee's wisdom is a treasure for us, homeschool parents and educators. It's more than techniques; it's about building a community of understanding, respect, and genuine connection. Let's embrace these insights to enrich our teaching and lead with empathy, vulnerability, and strategic connection. Together, we're not just educating; we're shaping tomorrow's compassionate leaders. Let's make every lesson count! LINKS And There Was Light by Jaques Lusseyran7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen CoveyBonds that Make Us Free by C.

He is part of the Evolution and Social Cognition team of the Institut Jean-Nicod. He is mostly interested in understanding how human social behavior and cultural traditions are shaped by evolved cognitive mechanisms and cultural evolutionary processes –– with a particular focus on moral intuitions, supernatural beliefs, and social norms and institutions. In this episode, we talk about the evolution of human moral cognition and moral emotions. We start by discussing the role of emotions in moral cognition, and the distinction between social and moral emotions. We go through examples of moral emotions like indignation, guilt, shame, disgust, and empathy. We talk about the social role of institutionalized punishment, the rise of moralizing religions, and the functions of beliefs in supernatural punishment. We discuss the evolution of puritanical morality, and why people moralize harmless body pleasures. Finally, we talk about an evolutionary contractualist theory of morality. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Once upon a time, there was a woman called Susan Payton who was passionate about helping fellow business owners to clearly articulate their value to their ideal customers with a simple messaging strategy. Susan wrote an Amazon bestseller called "The Business of Stories," knocking Diary of a CEO and Dragon Steven Bartlett off the top spot. She joins the host of the Singing Teachers Talk podcast Alexa Terry to share her experiences and to talk about her free five-day challenge, starting 4th of September 2023, and where business owners can learn how to write their own stories for effective business marketing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Susan created The Business of Stories in 2016, when I realised how many business owners struggle to tell their story, and talk about what they do in a way that is clear, concise and compelling to the people they want to work with. Using the universal language of story is powerful. No-one has to work too hard to understand a compelling story. People buy from people they believe can help them lead a better life. To truly make a difference in people's lives, you need to connect with them first. To do that, you need to know and share three stories: Your personal story: who you are and why you do what you do. Your business story: why your business exists and what it stands for. Your customer story: what is going on for them and where your business fits into their story. Susan's 5-day challenge will help you discover strategies to share stories that attract perfect-fit clients who are excited about working with you. Master how to make any story relatable to your audience so they deeply connect with it and you. Learn how to link any story to what you do, in a way that feels aligned and congruent, and engages your ideal clients. Stop feeling 'icky' about selling and attract more of the people you love working with. BEST MOMENTS‘I went from nobody reaching out to me, to 6 paying clients within the month. All I'd done was share my story'‘I'd been focusing on the wrong thing. All I needed to do was focus on my story and my customers stories' ‘Stories aren't just about telling your deepest darkest secrets, you need to have a reason to share it‘We choose people by how they make us feel' EPISODE RESOURCES Website: https://thebusinessofstories.com/ Social Media: Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanpaytonuk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SusanPaytonUK/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebusinessofstories/ Susan's FREE 5-day Challenge starts on 4th September 2023!

Last but not least, this episode is the final part of a three-part series on CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). There is a difference between *managing* symptoms and pain, vs. actually *treating* the underlying cause of the pain. Learn 10 new tools you can add to your CRPS Pain Care Tool Box, that will help you go beyond just managing pain, so that you can eventually rely less on pain management and learn to rely on yourself to get long lasting pain relief.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, when Shinobu Kitayama was studying psychology at Kyoto University, Cognitive Dissonance Theory and Attribution Theory were “really hot topics” that he found “intellectually interesting” ways of describing human behavior. “But when I came here [to the University of Michigan] and looked at my graduate students, colleagues, and friends, I realized that those ideas are really active elements of their mind in a way they were not to me as Japanese individual.” He continues, “obviously there are many cultural shocks – for example, I felt hesitant in speaking up in graduate seminar, but I got the impression that American friends end up saying a lot of things seemingly without thinking anything. That's the kind of experience that made me feel that something more profound might be going on in terms of culture and its influence on psychological processes.” His own perch, he explains in this Social Science Bites podcast, helped focus his personal research into comparing people from East Asia, such as Japan, China, and the Philippines, with people in America. His research ranges from simple exercises involving redrawing a line within a box to brain-scanning technology (“culture gets under the skin,” he jokes before adding, “I find neuroscience indispensable”) and examinations of subsistence agriculture. The Robert B. Zajonc Collegiate Professor of Psychology at Michigan since 2011 now runs the Culture & Cognition Lab at the school's Psychology Department. He starts his conversation with interviewer David Edmonds offering a description of a prominent cultural difference between East Asia and Anglo-America - the idea of ‘independence' and ‘interdependence.' “In some cultures, particularly in Western traditions, ‘self' is believed to be the independent entity that is composed of internal attributes, maybe your attitudes, maybe your personality traits and aspirations, which guide your behavior. Social relationships come out of those individual preferences. “In many other cultures, the conception of the person is much more social and relational. There's a fundamental belief that humans are humans because they are connected to formal social relationships.” Kitayama offers some examples of these differences. “Americans tend to believe that what you hear somebody say must be what this person believes. If somebody says ‘yes,' he must mean yes. But in many countries, ‘yes' and ‘no' carry very different meanings, depending on the context.” While someone from, say, the West may realize this on an intellectual level, in practice they often forget and assume a yes, means, well, yes. “We found this fundamental attribution error,” he concludes, “is much less, and often even nonexistent, in East Asian, and particularly Japanese, contexts.” Or take happiness. “Oftentimes, we believe that happiness is happiness. If Americans are happy, it must be in the way that Japanese are happy. We try to challenge this conception to see what people might mean when they claim they are happy. One easy way to do this is to ask people to write down what they mean by happiness, reasons for happiness, conditions in which happiness happens. Core elements of happiness, like elation, relaxation, feeling of excitement, are fairly common between U.S. and Japan.” But what leads to those states are quite different, with Japanese respondents often citing social harmony while Americans cite personal achievement. In the interview, Kitayama touches on why these differences might have arisen, including one idea that the cultivation of mainstay grains across thousands of years helped create the conditions that led to the cultural traits. The Asian staple of rice, for example, requires a more collective effort – “tight social coordination,” as Kitayama puts it -- to raise and harvest. Meanwhile, the Western staple of wheat requires less collaboration. These underlying agrarian requirements for supremely important foodstuffs may in turn, he says, “promote very different ideologies and social structures and institutions which then lay the ground for contemporary culture.” Kitayama has published widely in English and in Japanese and served as editor of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Attitudes and Social Cognition and the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. He was a fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies of Behavioral Science at Stanford in 1995 and in 2007, a Guggenheim Fellow in 2010, inducted as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012, and served as president of the Association for Psychological Science in 2020.
Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Mental training and visualization is best used to enhance speed and accuracy of a skill you already have some proficiency at, not necessarily for learning new things“Mental training and visualization cannot replace execution of real world cognitive or motor tasks you want to learn…but is effective in enhancing the speed at which you learn and the stability of that learning over time.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanPrinciples of mental visualization:(1) mental visualization needs to be brief (15-20 sec) and repeated;(2) mental visualization needs to be combined with real world experience;(3) mental training needs to be similar to real world experience;(4) naming and giving identity to real world skill and applying the same name to visualization enhances learning;(5) it takes longer to perform complex motor sequences in mental training and visualization just like it would in the real worldChoosing between real world training and mental training: real world training is better than mental training; mental training is better than no training; but ideally – you'll use mental training to augment real world training and improve speed, accuracy, and consistencyMental training can also be used to get you to stop or ‘no go' components of motor learning, like restricting inappropriate movements or thoughts (e.g., withholding inappropriate action or action sequence) For this training, it's especially important to perform mental training and real world training in combinationRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explore the science of mental visualization and its application for learning motor and cognitive skills. I discuss neuroplasticity-based skill development and the roles of focus, sleep, movement restriction, and agitation. I then present five key principles of mental visualization to enhance learning speed, accuracy, and consistency. I also provide examples of specific protocols, including repetitions, rest periods, and session frequency, and how to adapt these methods for injuries or breaks from traditional training. Throughout, I reference the scientific studies supporting these concepts. This episode should allow anyone to learn or teach more effectively through the use of mental visualization and training.

We're repeating a conversation from the first season that is important for anyone who relates to being autistic. Maree Martinovich, a psychologist in New Zealand who specializes in diagnosing adults with autism, has crucial things to tell us about ourselves. Things that will change the way you view your life as an autistic person. If there were only one episode of A Team you ever listened to we'd want it to be this one. Rafael and Robert, the founders of A Team, talk with Maree about executive function, time management, the differences in getting a diagnosis between men and women, tropes about autism, and the fact that if you are autistic you have suffered trauma in your life. 6:45 Tony Atwood - Tony Attwood - Wikipedia32:50 Robert: ADA and autism - https://autismadvocacynetwork.org/americans-with-disabilities-act/autism-ada-protections/35:05 Distinction between Occupational Therapy (OT) and Psychotherapy36:15 Maree: sensory modulation - Defining sensory modulation: A review of the concept and a contemporary definition for application by occupational therapists39:40 Executive function - Executive Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder: History, Theoretical Models, Empirical Findings, and Potential as an Endophenotype40:40 Time management - Time perception and autistic spectrum condition: A systematic review41:50 Maree: interventions for time management43:35 Importance of a professional diagnosis47:10 autistic adults camouflage very well - Camouflaging in Autism: Examining Sex-Based and Compensatory Models in Social Cognition and Communication47:50 difference in diagnosis between men and women - Gender Differences in Autism48:37 Maree: autistic people are at risk of being missed or misdiagnosed - Missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of adults with autism spectrum disorder53:10 Maree: recent changes in the psychometrics of autistic women: camouflaging, masking, and assimilation - What are 'masking' and 'camouflaging' in the context of autism and ADHD?1:06:47 Maree quote - autistics have the “focus of a laser beam and the acuity of an eagle”1:07:47 Maree: empathy quotient tests / debunking the myth that autistics have no empathy - Empathy Quotient (EQ)1:08:20 Maree: reasons why autistic may appear to be nonempathetic 1. Don't pick up the signs that empathy is needed. 2. Don't know what to do, we do what works for us when we need support - make a cup of tea and leave them alone. NT wouldn't want that. 3.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Zoe Liberman is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of California Santa Barbara. Dr. Liberman investigates the origins and development of human social cognition. She is particularly interested in how infants begin to understand our complicated social world, as well as how this understanding changes across development and is shaped by experience. In this episode, we talk about infant social cognition. We start by discussing if there is any particular period in development when children start getting socialized. We talk about how children learn about particular individuals, and how they know who knows what. We discuss social categorization, and how children learn to distinguish between ingroups and outgroups. We talk about how children decide who is friends with them and who is not, and cues like resource sharing, similarity, loyalty, and secret sharing. We also discuss how children determine when a piece gossip might be biased, and when participating in rituals becomes relevant in child development. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DR BYRD, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, MAU MARIA, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, ROOFTOWEL, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, PEDRO BONILLA, ZIEGLER, JOÃO BARBOSA, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Humans are fundamentally cooperative and social creatures. We show that most significant individual cognition serves social cognition, drawing significant differences between humans and other apes in this regard. (Buddhism as Self-Help 6, 10/28/2022)
A trusting society is open, inclusive, and promotes both social and personal well-being. Understanding the interpersonal trust between any members of society, be it a belief, intention or behaviour, is of crucial importance to fields ranging from psychology and neuroscience to economics.Prof Frank Krueger of George Mason University brings together economic exchange games, psychological systems and neuroscience mechanisms (e.g. brain circuits, hormones, genes) to build a ‘psychoneurobiological' model of trust.

A researcher at the National College of Ireland has recently developed an app for the Apple iPad to allow researchers examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. Social cognition refers to our ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of other people. Social cognition helps us to understand others and plays an important role in our social behaviour. Some individuals, with conditions such as schizophrenia, experience difficulties with social cognition. Research suggests that these difficulties are an important barrier to recovery from mental illness. As such, current research aims to help individuals with social cognition through cognitive therapy or group activities. However, many of the psychological tests used to assess social cognition in research studies require a trained researcher to administer the test, and use unrealistic pictures or cartoons to portray facial expressions and social cues. To address these challenges, Dr David Mothersill, Programme Director and lecturer on the BA (Hons) in Psychology at the National College of Ireland, came up with the novel app for the Apple iPad that allows researchers to examine social cognition using a touch-screen interface and realistic videos of actors interacting. cTOM was designed in collaboration with Professor Gary Donohoe, Professor of Psychology at National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG), and the code was developed by Professor. Jim Duggan, Conor O'Grady, and Jennifer Murray from NUIG's School of Computer ScienceThe app is currently being used in research being conducted at NUI Galway and UCD. Computerised Theory of Mind (cTOM) is designed for use by professionals and is free to download here. Dr Mothersill notes: “For the past number of years my research has been focused on improving outcomes for people with schizophrenia, a mental health condition that affects about 3,900 people in Ireland. “A big problem for many people experiencing mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, is stigma. Negative attitudes and behaviours towards people experiencing mental health conditions can affect employment, access to accommodation, and the emotional impact of stigma can be a profound source of suffering. “In young people, mental health stigma is also a barrier to seeking help, which is particularly concerning given that most mental health conditions develop before the age of 24.” Further research on mental health stigma and social cognition In a recent paper, psychologists at the National College of Ireland examined mental health stigma in over 300 people across Ireland ‘Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours towards schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism' in the Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine. The results suggest that people have more negative attitudes and behaviours towards schizophrenia compared to some other mental health conditions, and most participants felt they were not informed enough about mental health by the media. Building on this research, a new laboratory has recently been established in the National College of Ireland: the Stigma and Mental Health Ireland (SAMI) Laboratory, directed by Dr April Hargreaves, Dr David Mothersill, and Dr Gerard Loughnane. SAMI has received generous funding from Esther Ireland to carry out further stigma research in a population-representative sample of 1,000 participants in Ireland, and is partnering with The Carter Centre to repeat this research in a further 1,000 participants in Liberia, to compare mental health stigma between Europe and Africa. Ultimately, it is hoped that this research will provide key data for Government policies and campaigns targeting mental health stigma, such as the See Change Green Ribbon campaign.
We are sensing the world around us all the time. We often do not recognize the information picked up by our bodies. Do you want to extend your thinking beyond your brain? Do you want to learn how to use your body to enhance your use of information in the world around you? In this episode of “Your Life in Process,” Diana discusses why and how to expand our thinking beyond our brain with acclaimed science writer, Annie Murphy Paul. About Annie Murphy PaulAnnie Murphy Paul is an acclaimed science writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Scientific American, and The Best American Science Writing, among many other publications. Her latest book is The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain, published in June of 2021 and selected as an "Editors' Choice" by the New York Times Book Review. She is also the author of Origins, named by the New York Times Book Review as a “Notable Book,” and The Cult of Personality, hailed by Malcolm Gladwell in the New Yorker as a “fascinating new book.” Her TED Talk has been viewed more than 2.6 million times. Annie is a recipient of the Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship, the Spencer Education Journalism Fellowship, and the Bernard L. Schwartz Fellowship at New America. A graduate of Yale University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, she is currently a Learning Sciences Exchange Fellow at New America. Key TakeawaysWe can often get so in our heads that we forget we have a body. Begin to extend your mind by noticing your own physical body and internal sensations. Gestures and body language are essential parts of transmitting and receiving messages with others in our lives. When we explore pieces of nature outside of our mind with our bodies, we feel restored, creative, and connected.

In this episode I speak with Dr. Jaime A. Pineda. Dr. Pineda is Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, where he spent 28 years impacting and inspiring generations of undergraduate and graduate students to take on hard questions in the neurobiology of the human mind. He is the author of many widely cited papers in animal and human cognitive and systems neuroscience, including Mirror Neuron Systems: The Role of Mirroring Processes in Social Cognition (one of the most cited and downloaded books in the field). For the last twenty years, Jaime became interested in spiritual matters as a bridge to a fuller understanding of the mind. This led him to explore Zen Buddhism, train with a master teacher, and develop his creative side. He has published two books of poetry (Quieting of a Mind; Dawning of a New Mind) focusing on mind-brain relationships with an emphasis on spirituality, mysticism, environmentalism, and social activism. Most recently, he published his autobiography (Piercing the Cloud: Encountering the Real Me), the story of his journey and bridging of science and spirituality. In this episode we discuss Jaime's experience of immigrating to the U.S. at 9 years old, and how this planted the seed for his scientific and spiritual endeavors to understand the “self;” how Jaime understands “self” and its role in human suffering; the “self” from a developmental/evolutionary perspective; “spiritual crises” and how to harness them for growth; the neurobiology of “self;” Jaime's tips for quieting the “monkey mind;” getting in touch with the larger, unconscious, and transcendent “self;” and the importance of self-love and being a loving parent to oneself.

Today I am very excited to introduce you to Dr. Vanessa Bohns, author of You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate Our Power of Persuasion and Why It Matters. She got her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from Columbia University and her AB in Psychology from Brown University. Her research looks at social influence and the psychology of compliance and consent. She has been published in Psychological Science, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Organization Science, the Yale Law Journal, and more. She and her work have also been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The Economist, Harvard Business Review, and NPR. She is an associate editor at the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, was previously editor of the social influence section of Social and Personality Psychology Compass, and sits on the editorial boards of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and Social Cognition. In this episode, we talk about influence, building relationships, Vanessa's book, and so much more. If you have been loving all the conversations about influence this episode is a must-listen. Show Notes: [00:43] Today I am very excited to introduce you to Dr. Vanessa Bohns, author of You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate Our Power of Persuasion, and Why It Matters. [03:32] Vanessa shares about herself and her background. She is an experimental social psychologist. [05:04] She started on this journey of exploring influence in a different way than many other people have. They look at what their intuitions are to influence and how they match or don't match reality. [06:39] In general, we get focused on one negative thing and we are so focused on that one thing that we don't pay attention to all of the other things that other people are paying attention to. [07:07] Vanessa shares about the “weird shirt” study. [09:51] Good news! People are not paying attention to the things you hope they are not paying attention to and the things that you are really insecure about. [10:17] The invisibility cloak illusion is the idea that we often feel like we walk through the world wrapped up in an invisibility cloak; you feel invisible to the world, but are not. People are noticing you and more than you tend to think. [11:44] People are actually paying attention to us as a whole, but they are not noticing the tiny embarrassing flaws that are the things we worry that people are noticing. In the end, we are having more influence than we think in a more positive way often than we think. [13:54] Influence works both ways. It is not just the person standing in front of the room, it is also the people they are speaking to that can have influence. [15:26] The audience sitting there without saying a word can really shape the beliefs of that person at the front of the room. [17:15] One thing that was difficult for a lot of people is doing presentations over a virtual format where you lose audience feedback. [20:09] There is so much feedback you get from nonverbals that you take for granted. Vanessa wove in polls and chat questions to maintain engagement virtually. [21:51] She found that going around the room in Zoom and having everyone share what they think about a particular topic has really helped in her virtual presentations. [23:18] Breakout rooms in online platforms are a great way to re-energize participants. [26:16] We have lost so much of the interpersonal aspects of influence by moving to a virtual environment. [28:39] People really just get the gist of what we say. [30:07] In general, people only speak up about things that they really care about. [31:57] The online chat feature is an outlet for people who feel less comfortable actually speaking aloud. [33:28] So often when we do something we are so focused on how people are going to judge us for that thing instead of thinking about how that thing we said or did impact other people. [35:05] Any time we are holding back and not asking for something, we may be missing opportunities. [37:16] You want to be aware that every conversation and interaction is leaving an aftertaste, aftermath, or afterglow. [38:58] We are too hard on ourselves when it comes to people judging us. [39:43] It is so important for us to be mindful of the impacts our words and actions are having on other people. [42:02] Shouting is born of underconfidence. We shout when we think nobody is listening. [44:08] We don't see the ways we are impacting people all the time. [45:58] If you can find ways to get out of your own head and reflect on the things that you're doing, you can be more accurate and aware of your influence. [47:02] People like you more than you think they do. [49:43] Melina shares her closing thoughts. [53:03] If you enjoy the experience I've provided here for you, will you share about it?

Nick talks to Dr. Gul Dolen, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. Her lab studies the circuit and synaptic mechanisms of social cognition in health and disease.Nick and Dr. Dolen discussed her research on critical periods for social reward learning in rodents, the role of oxytocin in social behavior and learning, and how MDMA ("ecstasy") promotes prosocial behavior in animals as diverse as humans, rodents, and octopuses. They also talked about how drugs like MDMA and psychedelics influence "metaplasticity," enabling environmental factors to trigger plasticity (physical changes in the brain) in a context-specific manner. Dr. Dolen also described how her research relates to developing treatments for autism, as well as her thoughts on whether the subjective effects of psychedelics and other drugs are necessary for some of their therapeutic effects.USEFUL LINKSSign up for the weekly Mind & Matter newsletter[https://mindandmatter.substack.com/?sort=top]Follow Nick's work through Linktree:[https://linktr.ee/trikomes]Try Levels Health to monitor your blood sugar & optimize your diet[https://www.levelshealth.com/join?partner=MINDANDMATTER]Athletic Greens, comprehensive daily nutrition (Free 1-year supply Vitamin D w/ purchase)[https://www.athleticgreens.com/mindandmatter]Organize your digital highlights & notes w/ Readwise (2 months free w/ sub)[https://readwise.io/nickjikomes/]Learn more about our podcast sponsor, Dosist[https://dosist.com]Download the podcast & follow Nick at his website[https://www.nickjikomes.com]Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/nickjikomes)
In this episode we cover the negative sterotyping of unattractive individuals. You may have heard of the 'halo effect' where attractive individuals have positive attributes and traits granted to them simply by virtue of being physically attractive. As it turns out from Klebl Et al's paper, there is evidence to suggest a similar but opposite effect happens to the unattractive parties. Unattractive individuals are seen to be more morally 'impure' by the general public, i.e. more willing to perform uncleanly acts such as stepping in vomit, licking a shoe or eating moldy food (no, really) than their attractive counterparts. This in turn makes these people associated with a contamination risk that should be avoided and so it is arguably more disadvantageous to be unattractive than it is advantageous to be attractive (Griffin & Langlois, 2006). This is because humans are very disease averse and so even the slightest perception or indication of 'uncleanly' behaviour is justification to avoid or negatively sterotype. Griffin, A. M., & Langlois, J. H. (2006). Stereotype directionality and attractiveness stereotyping: Is beauty good or is ugly bad? Social Cognition, 24(2), 187-206. https://dx.doi.org/10.1521/soco.2006.24.2.187Klebl, C., Rhee, J. J., Greenaway, K. H., Luo, Y., & Bastian, B. (2021, February 26). Physical attractiveness biases judgments pertaining to the moral domain of purity. https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/3bnge
Lasana is an associate professor of experimental psychology at the University College London where he runs the boundaries of social cognition lab. In addition to exploring the content of his 2017 book, Invisible Mind: Flexible Social Cognition and Dehumanization, we also explore how these concepts are in play in modern society, especially as it relates to the culture wars and societal issues. NOTE: Many of you might have noticed it's been some time since my last episode. I am currently studying psychology and neuroscience in grad school and unfortunately have much more limited time these days; however, I do publish weekly episodes with remarkable guests (like Bret Weinstein and Stephen Fry) through my tech-centric and funded podcast: Singularity Radio. ** Want to ask a question, provide feedback, or share your thoughts on the show or a topic, then feel free to leave a voice message at https://anchor.fm/society-in-question/message or send an email to steven.parton@societyinquestion.com.
