Baron-Cohen et al. stuff

Just a few links to stuff that you might find interesting.

Here is a self marking ‘Reading the mind in the Eyes Task’ that you might want to try http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/Faces/EyesTest.aspx Although note that this test is different from the one used in the core study as it provides you with four mental states to choose from unlike the Baron-Cohen et al. study which only provides two mental states. Good luck. Oh and here is a flashier version of the same Eyes Task.

You could also try this powerpoint but you will need a pen and paper or a really, really good memory.

The video below shows Simon Baron-Cohen diagnosing Daniel Tammet as a very high functioning person with autism. It is almost 10 minutes long and is the second video of five documenting Daniel. When you have the time, do watch the whole documentary.

 

Oh and it gets better if you like watching tellybox clips. Why not watch the video below. It is just the first in a series of 5.
