Academic Catch-Up: Researching Theory of Mind @ Cambridge University

This summer, I spent two weeks at Cambridge digging into that question through a psychology project on Theory of Mind, which is our ability to recognize that other people think, feel, and believe differently from us.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned: the history of Theory of Mind, why it’s been misunderstood in autism research, how culture changes the way it develops, and what my biggest takeaways were. A more personal, behind-the-scenes episode!
