| Video Discription | Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen argues that our ability to identify patterns, particularly if-and-then patterns, allows humans to be the only animals on the planet with the ability to invent things. Simon's book: 'The Pattern Seekers' is available now: https://geni.us/d5gG Watch the Q&A: https://youtu.be/h0EUEOyq4eQ From the first musical instrument to the digital revolutions, what is the unique ability that has driven human progress for 70,000 years? In this talk, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory. From his book ‘The Pattern Seekers’ he discusses how humans can identify patterns, specifically ‘if-and-then’ patterns. By linking one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood, Simon challenges us to think differently about those who think differently. *** Simon Baron-Cohen is a Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry University of Cambridge and Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. He is Director of the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge.
