Wer immer noch an der Intelligenz der Tiere zweifelt, dem sei diese Episode ans Herz gelegt. Für alle anderen wird es eine schöne Bestätigung sein. Wir sprechen mit Prof. Dr. Ludwig Huber über die verschiedenen Säulen der Intelligenz von Tieren. Dem Werkzeuggebrauch, dem Verständnis von Kausalität, der Fähigkeit gedanklich in die Zukunft und in die Vergangenheit zu reisen und darauf aufbauen planvoll zu handeln, die Eigenschaft das eigene Denken und Wissen zu reflektieren und zu hinterfragen, und nicht zuletzt die Fähigkeit sich in andere Lebewesen hineinzuversetzen und daraus Schlüsse zu ziehen. Kurzum, Ein facettenreiches Gespräch über die gesammelten Erkenntnisse im Buch "Das rationale Tier"

Andreas und Werner sprechen heute zusammen über das Thema „Theory of Mind“. Unter Theory of Mind wird die Fähigkeit verstanden, mentale Zustände als mögliche Ursache eines Verhaltens zu verstehen, um Handlungen erklären und vorhersagen zu können. Dazu ist es notwendig, Gedanken, Gefühle, Absichten, Meinungen, Erwartungen, Beweggründe und Rahmenbedingungen des Verhaltens korrekt zu erkennen und zu verstehen. Dabei muss es nicht nur um Gedanken und Gefühle anderer Menschen gehen: Es geht auch um das Verständnis eigener Gedanken und Gefühle und die Auswirkungen auf das entsprechende Verhalten… Theory of Mind ist ein bedeutendes Konzept im Bereich der Psychologie und der Psychiatrie und spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei vielen Psychotherapieverfahren.

The guys talk about Theory of Mind

Welcome to The All About Kids Podcast brought to you by All About Kids, the leading provider of children's therapeutic and educational services in New York. This time I sit down with Kathy Obrien. Kathy is a speech-language pathologist with a background in psychology, Special Education, communication sciences, and ABA. On this episode, Kathy discusses how she got involved in working with children with autism, what “theory of mind is” and what makes it so important, the concept of joint attention, how role-playing plays a role in language development, the interplay of emotions and perception, exercises to help children with autism develop better social skills and more. We were extremely lucky to have Kathy on the podcast, she is so good at what she does and such a knowledgeable source on communication and working with children with autism. Without further ado, please enjoy this deep-diving, wide-ranging conversation with Kathy Obrien.  ALL ABOUT KIDS LINKSApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-about-kids-podcast/id1522359220Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3I6qWwwdeJnlJg8Mx94He9?si=A7ieoF8yQJeqi_JnS6tXrg&dl_branch=1Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1522359220/all-about-kids-podcastWebsite: https://aakcares.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aakcaresTwitter: https://twitter.com/aakcaresLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/all-about-kids

Xi Jia chats with Dr. Michal Kosinski, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. Michal's research interests recently encompass both human and artificial cognition. Currently, his work centers on examining the psychological processes in Large Language Models (LLMs), and leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, and computational techniques to model and predict human behavior. In this episode, they chat about Michal's recent works: "Theory of Mind Might Have Spontaneously Emerged in Large Language Models" and "Human-like intuitive behavior and reasoning biases emerged in large language models but disappeared in ChatGPT". Michal also shared his scientific journey and some personal suggestions for PhD students.If you found this episode interesting at all, subscribe on our Substack and consider leaving us a good rating!

Photo: Keith Stein Anita Rogers Gallery is pleased to present Superunknown, an exhibition of new work by Henry Mandell.  Superunknown, Mandell's debut solo exhibition at Anita Rogers Gallery, features paintings and drawings from several bodies of work the artist began during the pandemic.  Mandell's studio practice is focused on the exploration of experimental artistic practices, the human condition, scientific principles and their merging effect on our lives, pioneering unique approaches to creating abstract artworks. All of the paintings in Superunknown began as stories, poems, or written data.  Using digital tools, Mandell transforms line by line, letter by letter, the characters of selected source text into visually compelling abstract imagery. The first step in transforming what is known into the unknown, experimenting and painting without the use of iterative code.  All creative decisions remain with the artist's hand and mind, establishing Mandell's wide visual vocabulary with digital painting. The Superunknown series of paintings depict multilayered objects composed of fine colored lines of transformed text about dark matter and current theories about what comprises the fabric of the universe. Each colored line is a separate letter. Like fabric, the overall form is knit up from thousands of separate fine colored line elements like a tapestry from another dimension.  The source theories bound up into the artwork represent the limits of our knowing, as 80% of everything everywhere is invisible dark matter / dark energy and is beyond our understanding. The Satoshi's Garden paintings depict looping vortexes of chimerical limbs and primeval roots; strange forms that seem to overrun the thresholds of cognition and formation. A growing living network inspired by mycelium. The paintings are composed from the text of the Bitcoin White Paper. No one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. He, She, It or They authored the Bitcoin White Paper. The paper solved the problems of establishing an internet-based platform for conducting financial transactions without banks via a ‘blockchain' of growing code that lives on thousands of networked computers worldwide mimicking the Wood Wide Web of living plants. Within the Wood Wide Web, actual living root systems are connected by mycelium fungi. They are completely mysterious, and how they work to nourish every living plant in the wild is beyond our understanding. The Plumb paintings shimmer with thousands of thin vertical lines converging into a veil of color.  A plumb line is traditionally used to level and center one's self on the surface of the Earth.  It is an ancient tool still in use today, with a hanging weight at the end of a single string that always points to the center of the Earth due to gravity.  In the paintings, the lines are the transformed text of poetry by Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The Theory Of Mind paintings form expressively sinuous interwoven patterns of colored lines within an inverted triangle.  Composed from altered text about theory of mind, an important social-cognitive milestone that involves the ability to think about mental states, both your own and those of others and their emotions, desires, beliefs, and knowledge.  Foundational to the development of empathy in children. Also, triangles seem to suggest ‘otherness', as in it is an unfamiliar form in everyday experience and can serve as an invitation to relate to an ‘other'. The theme for Superunknown is described by the artist in this way: “I am inspired by the words of the great artist Ann Hamilton in her essay Making Not Knowing: One doesn't arrive — in words or in art — by necessarily knowing where one is going. In every work of art something appears that does not previously exist, and so, by default, you work from what you know to what you don't know. You may set out for New York but you may find yourself as I did in Ohio. You may set out to make a sculpture and find that time...

This episode examines the idea of Theory of Mind and whether it applies to autistics and non-autistics alike. Listen and decide for yourself whether Theory of Mind is real and if it can ever be accurate.__________*I really do have a red Swingline stapler.__________SPOILER ALERT (THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE):How it ends: Not all of the facts are discussed in this episode and the movie has more than one story line. As to Milton, he finally gets fed up and angry that his boss and co-workers fail to take him seriously.  Having been denied his red stapler and stepped on too often Milton burns down the building where he worked resulting in the demise of the company. The movie “Office Space” has become a cult classic well worth watching.__________Empirical Failures of the Claim That Autistic People Lack a Theory of Mind  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6959478/Support the show Share this podcast with your friends and family.

In simple terms, Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability you and I have to understand how other people think, and why they think the way they do. Not to agree or disagree, just to understand.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An assistant professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Tomer Ullman, joins us. Tomer discussed the theory of mind and whether machines can indeed pass it. Using variations of the Sally-Anne test and the Smarties tube test, he explained how LLMs could fail the theory of mind test.

Theory of mind, the ability to understand others by ascribing mental states to them, has historically been considered a uniquely human characteristic. But are we really the only animals to possess this level of social intelligence? In this episode of OxPods, Alex Rodway, a biology master's student at Jesus College, interviews Dr Natasha Gillies, a Stipendiary Lecturer at Merton College, who has studied animal behaviour and population ecology throughout her academic career, about the existence of ‘theory of mind' in non-human animals.

Mit ChatGPT, LaMDA, LLaMa & Co macht seit einigen Monaten eine neue Generation sogenannter Large Language Models Schlagzeilen. Neu ist dabei nicht die Technologie, sondern der Reifegrad der Modelle. Erstmals kann man von menschenähnlicher künstlicher Intelligenz sprechen. Ein Wissenschaftler aus Stanford meint sogar ein künstliches Bewusstsein entdeckt zu haben. Ist die Singularität erreicht? Können die Maschinen doch denken? Was können die Modelle und was werden sie noch können werden? In dieser Folge schaue ich mir die Technologie hinter aktuellen LLMs genau an und versuche herauszufinden, was die Maschinen so brilliant macht.

Today I explore the potential implications of using the psychological 'Theory of Mind' model to test GPT4's level of consciousness. I also link together the inherent bias of AI developers and capitalist orgs that greatly influence and constrain the development of AI. Here is the video in question: https://youtu.be/4MGCQOAxgv4

Burt Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience in the Center for Science and Society, and a Lecturer in the Philosophy Department at Columbia University. His research draws from his expertise in philosophy and cognitive science to explore the implications of recent progress in deep learning for models of human cognition, as well as various issues in ethics and aesthetics. He is also investigating what underlies the capacity to represent oneself as oneself at a fundamental level, in humans and non-human animals; as well as the role that self-representation plays in perception, action, and memory. In a world where technology is rapidly advancing, Dr. Millière is striving to gain a better understanding of how artificial neural networks work, and to establish fair and meaningful comparisons between humans and machines in various domains in order to shed light on the implications of artificial intelligence for our lives. https://www.raphaelmilliere.com/ https://twitter.com/raphaelmilliere Here is a version with hesitation sounds like "um" removed if you prefer (I didn't notice them personally): https://share.descript.com/view/aGelyTl2xpN YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhn6ZtD6XeE TOC: Intro to Raphael [00:00:00] Intro: Moving Beyond Mimicry in Artificial Intelligence (Raphael Millière) [00:01:18] Show Kick off [00:07:10] LLMs [00:08:37] Semantic Competence/Understanding [00:18:28] Forming Analogies/JPG Compression Article [00:30:17] Compositional Generalisation [00:37:28] Systematicity [00:47:08] Language of Thought [00:51:28] Bigbench (Conceptual Combinations) [00:57:37] Symbol Grounding [01:11:13] World Models [01:26:43] Theory of Mind [01:30:57] Refs (this is truncated, full list on YT video description): Moving Beyond Mimicry in Artificial Intelligence (Raphael Millière) https://nautil.us/moving-beyond-mimicry-in-artificial-intelligence-238504/ On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?

Joshed Raw (Josh) defines theory of mind and shares the research about its origins and its purpose in human evolution. He discusses its primary purposes and how it led to religious thought, which subsequently led to multitudes of religions and deities around the world. He also discusses how theory of mind is different among men and women in different regions of the brain. Josh ends the episode by explaining how indoctrination works on children and encourages listeners to educate others about how religious institutions exploit others by manipulating them with brain science. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/godsoftomorrow/support

In aflevering 44 vertelt taalwetenschapper Hannah de Mulder over haar onderzoek naar de interactie tussen taal en Theory of Mind. Met Theory of Mind wordt in de psychologie en psycholinguistiek verwezen naar het besef dat andere mensen eigen ervaringen, opvattingen, verlangens en emoties hebben, die sterk kunnen verschillen van onze eigen belevenissen. Met die kennis worden we niet geboren: als kind gaan we er allemaal van uit dat iedereen weet wat wij weten. Op een gegeven moment ontdekken we dat dat niet klopt. Hannah doet onderzoek naar wat er op dat moment van ontwikkeling gebeurt: hoe leren kinderen dat andere mensen een eigen binnenwereld hebben? Hoogstwaarschijnlijk is het geen toeval dat kinderen over het algemeen Theory of Mind ontwikkelen in dezelfde fase waarin het taalvermogen flink toeneemt. Maar beïnvloedt Theory of Mind de taalontwikkeling, of is het juist andersom? Ook praten we over Hannah's onderzoek naar andere invloeden op Theory of Mind. Maakt het uit of je boeketreeksen, romans van Virginia Woolf, de Top Gun films enerzijds en Twelve Years A Slave of Amour anderzijds tot je neemt, of helpt alle fictie bij je inleven in anderen? Wat is de invloed van de sociaal-economische achtergrond op Theory of Mind? En hoe draagt meertaligheid bij aan je inzicht in anderen? Ten slotte geeft deze aflevering een inkijkje in een bijzonder project: Een verhaal in een andere taal/A Tale in Two Tongues. Dit project is erop gericht om de meerwaarde van meertaligheid te laten zien door wetenschappelijke kennis te delen en diverse meertalige voorleesmiddagen te organiseren.

Dr. Krupenye is interested in the cognitive abilities of humans and other species, especially those involved in navigating the social world. In this episode, we talk about aspects of primate sociality. We start with theory of mind, and discuss if it is a unitary capacity, and how to study it in nonhuman primates. We ask if other primates have theory of mind, and talk about studying self and self-awareness. We also get into understanding false beliefs, sharing behavior, prosociality, and a preference for helpers or hinderers. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

We don't always know what people are thinking or feeling - we're not mind-readers - but we can bolster our understanding. Today we're diving into the Theory of Mind, which refers to our capacity to understand others. It is important for understanding how to approach our children's developmental stage. We start with a wonderful grounding meditation.

Bella chats with Dr. Henrike (Henny) Moll.Henny is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Southern California, where she directs the Minds in Development lab. Henny's primary research focus lies in children's understanding of perspectives and their ability to engage in joint attention. She studies how infants and young children come to understand the world and the role that others play in introducing them to the world. Her studies are informed by insights from philosophy of mind, education, and anthropology.In this episode, we discussed Henny's research on theory of mind, young children's perspective taking, especially when other people's beliefs clash with their own beliefs or with reality, and how the concept of experiential record plays an important role in children's ability to understand other people's beliefs. Henny also shared the lab's future directions and some exciting upcoming projects. Henny's website: https://dornsife.usc.edu/labs/mid-la/*We are currently conducting a survey to get to know our listeners better and to collect any feedback and suggestions so we can improve our podcast.

In today's episode, Dr. Mark Sabbagh joins us to discuss the Theory of Mind. He breaks down the Theory of Mind for parents and how we can see it develop within younger children. Dr. Sabbagh explains false beliefs and how our children's minds develop an understanding of others' beliefs and feelings. We also discuss dopamine levels, executive functioning, and neurodiversity. Dr. Sabbagh reviews some practical games including pretend play to understand and develop your child's own Theory of Mind.Take your Curious Neuron notebooks out, this episode is filled with fresh information for many of our listeners.Follow Curious Neuron on Instagram @curious_neuronJoin Dr. Sabbagh's studies:https://www.earlyexperiencelab.caThank you to the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute at The Neuro for supporting the Curious Neuron podcast. 

Developmental psychologist Matthew Gingo joins to discuss his research on morality and deception. Why and under what circumstances do parents and their children lie to one another? We discuss his paper entitled "What they don't know won't hurt them: Parents' judgments about lying to their adolescents (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jora.12503)", published in the Journal of Research on Adolescence (2019)

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: How an alien theory of mind might be unlearnable, published by Stuart Armstrong on January 3, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. I suggested that an alien "theory of mind" might be unlearnable; Rohin Shah challenged this conclusion, asking whether a theory of mind was truly unlearnable, even for a very intelligent Alice. Let's dig into this concept for a bit. There is, of course, a weak and a strong version of the unlearnability hypothesis. The strong version is that Alice, even with infinite time and total rationality, couldn't learn an alien theory of mind. The weaker version is that a smart and motivated Alice with a lot of resources and data, couldn't learn an alien theory of mind in reasonable time. You can nuance both of those by wondering how much of the theory of mind is unlearnable. It doesn't really matter if a few less important bits are unlearnable. So the real question is, how hard is it to learn enough alien theory of mind, with enough data and effort? We might also ask whether the learning process is interactive or non-interactive: does Alice merely observe the alien natives, or is there a conversation going where the aliens try and correct her interpretations? aAlice learns the ways of humans Unfortunately, we don't have a convenient alien civilization on hand to test this (and, even if we did, we might be unsure whether we'd really understood their theory of mind, or just thought that we did). So instead, let's imagine an alien Alice - aAlice - who is trying to learn the human theory of mind, and see how she might go astray. It won't take long for aAlice to realise that there is a difference between what humans say publicly, and what we say privately. Also, there is a difference between what we say under the impact of strong emotion, and what we say when calm and relaxed. She concludes, naturally (as this is close to how her species behaves), that our authentic statements are those given in public, when we are under the sway of strong emotions. She will find quite a lot of evidence for her position. For example, some people will calmly write about the "authenticity" of strong emotion; aAlice interprets this as: "See? Even in their irrational mode, they sometimes let slip a bit of genuine information." She can point to other reasons for the correctness of her interpretation. For example, humans often publicly praise powerful people, while mocking them behind their back. These humans also go out of their way to be servile to the powerful humans. aAlice concludes, from the "revealed preference" perspective, that our public praise is the correct interpretation, as that is what is compatible with our behaviour. The private mocking must be some hypocritical "speech act", maybe used for social bonding. Of course, there is a lot of variety in human public-emotional speech, and a lot of wild contradictions. If you point this out to aAlice, she would respond "yes, I know; aren't humans a fascinating species? I have several theories that I'm developing, to explain their complex preference." She might also point out that private-calm speech is also varied and contradictory; according to her theories - meticulously developed through observation and experimentation - the variations and contradictions in private-calm speech are much more of a problem than those in public-emotional speech. Can we convince her she's wrong? Could we convince aAlice that she's wrong; that private-calm speech is much closer to our true preferences than public-emotional speech is? The true picture is much more nuanced than that, of course, but if we can't communicate the basic facts, we can forget about transmitting the nuances. How would we transmit that information? Our first instinct would be to calmly explain this to her, preferably without too many different people around listening in ...

"Theory of mind" is a clunky term from psychology that basically means that we unconsciously (and inevitably) project the content and structure of our own consciousness into the minds of others. This is because assuming others are like us facilitates cooperation is essential to the survival of a social organism like man. However, this also means that whether we're surrounded by enemies or potential allies is largely a function of our own mind. I'll discuss more in this episode.

Lana breaks down Theory of Mind, why it has gained so much popularity in the world, and what purpose it serves for us. According to the American Psychology Association, Theory of Mind is the understanding that others have intentions, desires, beliefs, perceptions, and emotions different from one's own and that such intentions, desires, and so forth affect people's actions and behaviors. This is essentially the theory of understanding why people do what they do. How does this place into nature vs nurture? How are our minds developed in our early years of life? What is the right & wrong way to apply Theory of Mind?Podcast Instagram: instagram.com/whiskeyandlemonpodcastPodcast Website: whiskeyandlemon.comLana's Instagram: instagram.com/heylanamercedezLana's Website: lanamercedez.com

This past week, I have had 2 positive customer service experiences. No one likes having to call customer service, and I imagine no one LIKES being the person that GETS called when customers need service. When people are calling to speak to customer service, there's a 99% chance they're already irritated before they even speak to a customer service agent. This past summer I had a job that wasn't customer service, but ended up feeling like it. I was the first line of defense for my organization and therefore got a lot of the brunt of people's frustration. I think I've always had empathy for customer service agents, but after that it was x1000000. So when I had 2 excellent agents assisting me, you bet I (1) filled out surveys commending my assister and (2) sent a - way too detailed and long - note to the customer service emails lauding said assister. Why did I do that? Because I was procrastinating writing this? NO!!! (maybe) Because I know that being the first line of defense is hard and if every other person that day was rude to them, at least they received some chizuk (encouragement) for a job well done! I am really not patting myself on the back because I don't exhibit this kind of empathy in all areas of my life (though I do work on that), but this idea of having context for others' lives is something that pops up a lot in the second parsha of this week's double portion. In my humble opinion, the #1 character trait that objectively “good” people share is theory of mind. Theory of mind meaning possessing the understanding that other people's thoughts and feelings may be different from your own. You can call this lack-of-self-centeredness, you can call this empathy — whatever it is, at its core, this trait is the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. But does good = holy? If we give words moral value, I guess something that's good is holy and vice versa. But why do I bring up holiness? Because our second parsha is all about holiness — Parshat Kedoshim. Kedoshim opens with: “And G-d spoke to Moshe saying, 'Speak to the whole Israelite community and say to them: You shall be holy for I, the L-rd your G-d, am holy.'" “You shall be holy because I the L-rd your G-d, am holy” — קְדֹשִׁ֣ים תִּהְי֑וּ כִּ֣י קָד֔וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י ה' אֱלֹקיכֶֽם Well that's a big ask!!! How does one “be” holy??? This word for “to be” - תִּהְי֑וּ refers to a state of being… just existing in holiness?? Well lucky for us, the rest of the parsha essentially answers our question. We have 51 mitzvot essentially straight listed. (This is not the highest number of mitzvot per parsha, but it IS the most mitzvot DENSE parsha. As in mitzvot per pasuk - line.) Our first mitzvah that makes us think about others is the first one we're given - revere your mother and your father. That one is simple - your parents ALWAYS had a harder day than you did. It's a scientific fact. Then later, we're given tons of mitzvot back to back that are specific instructions of how to give to the poor. Leave the edges of your field for the poor, leave the veggies / fruits that you dropped while harvesting, leave part of your vineyard for the poor, leave fallen grapes SPECIFICALLY for the poor. Giving to the poor is totally theory of mind! That's saying, “Hmm… If I didn't have money to buy food, wouldn't it be great if this field / vineyard I'm walking past would have some perfectly good food for me to glean?” Cont'd… For full text, email me at shirajkaplan@gmail.com or join my email list here. opening theme: reCreation by airtone (c) copyright 2019 Licensed --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shira-kaplan/support

Everyone has probably wondered to themselves: "Why did I just do that?" or even, "Why did my partner actually behave like that?" The ability to relate and interpret one's own actions and behavior, and that of another person, to mental states is called the ability to mentalize. In some people it is well developed, while in others it is rather fragile, as is often the case, for example, with so-called "borderline personality disorders". This episode deals with how we develop the ability to mentalize and what the consequences are when we fail to mentalize.

This episode is a discussion of Theory of mind and it's intersection with culture and our subjective perceptions. How does the fact that you see the world from your own point of view affect how you relate to people? How does it affect how you love and relate to people? In this episode we reveal the next term that we will be discussing right at the end of the episode. The definition references are from Oxford Dictionary, Wikipedia.com and verywellmind.com

Is the mind a kind of computer? This episode of Rationally Speaking features philosopher Gerard O'Brien from the University of Adelaide, who specializes in the philosophy of mind. Gerard, Julia, and Massimo discuss the computational theory of mind and what it implies about consciousness, intelligence, and the possibility of uploading people onto computers. Sped up the speakers by ['1.0', '1.0']

Have you ever wondered where our racial attitudes stem from, or why you might perceive the world we live in from a selfish point of view rather than being able to access the entire picture at all times? Stemming from the discussions about Hoodoo and it's suppression by language, this episode will focus on how our perception of reality must be taught at a young age in order to relate to others without so much intervention. Even further, Nicole will discuss the importance of discussing race in the home at an early age in a child's development properly, and why this helps shape healthy racial attitudes later on. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Empathy in sales has become a popular topic in recent years.   Yes, it's good to understand the emotional state-of-mind your prospect is coming from. It's also useful to realize how their situation and challenges are affecting their decision-making.    However, empathy may not always be the most effective route to take.   In the latest episode of the B2B Revenue Executive Experience, I sat down with Nicolas Vandenberghe, co-founder and CEO of Chili Piper.   He shares his thoughts on:   Neuroeconomics and how the theory of mind can actually be more beneficial in B2B sales than empathy His interaction with Steve Jobs in the early days Adjusting the prospect's points of reference in sales Increasing his sales teams conversion rates from 5% to 30%   This blog post includes highlights of our podcast interview with Nicolas Vandenberghe, co-founder and CEO of Chili Piper.   For the entire interview, you can listen to The B2B Revenue Executive Experience.

There's a concept in cognitive psychology called theory of mind, and theory of mind is the ability for someone to predict what someone else might be thinking in a given scenario. Young children have pretty horrific theory of mind. They're unable in most cases, you know, when kids are pretty young, to guess what a third party might be thinking [00:00:30] in a given scenario. They're unable to figure out or estimate what someone else might be thinking. So an experiment that's done with very young children to figure out if they have developed theory of mind is a child who is being tested for theory of mind abilities might see a stuffed animal, and [00:01:00] the experiment or the person that's running this experiment would show the child that a stuffed animal sees a piece of candy. Then the researcher would cover up the eyes of the stuffed animal and put the candy in his or her pocket and then lift up the blindfold or whatever that's on the eyes of the stuffed [00:01:30] animal, and then ask the child who's seen all of this where the stuffed animal thinks the piece of candy is. And in most instances the child will tell the researcher that the stuffed animal thinks the piece of candy is in the researcher's pocket because the child ascribes to the stuffed animal what the child knows about where the candy is, even though during this experiment it was very evident [00:02:00] that the stuffed animal's eyes were covered when the piece of candy was placed in the experimenter's pocket. And theory of mind is something that is commonly known to differentiate between people with and without autism. So people with autism are known for not doing especially well on theory of mind tests, but theory of mind [00:02:30] isn't just something that people with autism score poorly on. I've found through the years that most people who are looking to engage in business relationships don't have very good theory of mind at all. They don't spend much time trying to figure out what the person on the other end of a deal might be thinking, what a customer might be thinking, what problems [00:03:00] they'd be struggling with. On a very, very small scale, it looks like salespeople who reach out to someone and try to set an appointment not using the time zone of the person that they're looking to set an appointment with. So let's say I'm in Chicago and I'm communicating with a salesperson in California, someone with highly [00:03:30] developed theory of mind, in my opinion, would give me times in my time zone, right, would relate to me on my own terms. They would also do some background and try and get a sense for what my pain points might be. I encounter this lack of theory of mind or lack of consideration of theory of mind all the time when people pitch [00:04:00] me on coming onto the Flippening podcast, right, our popular podcast that often gets over 30,000 downloads an episode. People will pitch me on coming onto that podcast. They'll often asked to come on and talk about the same topic that someone else just spoke about. They won't say anything about how they'll promote the episode.

Wired magazine once challenged 39 sci-fi writers and creative types to put their artistry to test by writing a 6-word story. Author of beloved Wicked series, Gregory Maguire came back with a clever riposte, “From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings.” These simple string of words sets the brain's into motion. It wonders, what are the men are thinking, what are they feeling, what was the author thinking, and what do the other readers make of this. While a good writer tickles the reader's imagination, a good reader imagines the mind and the inner workings of the imaginator extraordinaire. The brain's highly developed prefrontal cortex is responsible for the Theory of Mind or granting humans the ability to think about one's own thinking and thinking of others.

In the world of limitless possibilities, there is a limit as to how much one can know about the minds of others. Take an example: Have you ever been in your head so much that your insecurities catch up with you and you fail to gauge what others are thinking and feeling? It all simply begins when a friend doesn't return your call; or at least not right away. You begin to guess what her reasons are to not call and from there on, it escalates into this drama inside where you end up wondering if your friend actually hates you or maybe, doesn't want anything to do with you. Then on Monday morning, you get a call from your friend saying that she went to her dentist on Friday and left her phone there. Your mind failed you! This episode, my guest, Dr. Carol Westby, will discuss the concept of Theory of Mind which enables us to understand others' intentions, feelings, and beliefs by directing our attention to “reading” the minds of others. She will explain how the key to unlock the social struggles of those with Executive function challenges often lies in this “mentalizing” ability.About Carol Westby, Ph.D.Carol Westby, PhD, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language-pathologist and educational consultant.
