What happens in our brains when we make assumptions about people who don't seem to be like us, when they may look, speak or behave differently?
Ever wondered why we sometimes make snap judgments about people who seem different from us? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into the fascinating world of brain bias and how neuroscience can help us challenge these prejudices. Host Lynne Malcolm takes listeners on a journey through research that explores how our brains perceive other people, animals, and even technology.
From understanding how children learn about the minds of others to examining how adults anthropomorphize animals and dehumanize people, this episode covers it all. You'll also hear about the brain mechanisms involved in dehumanization and the influence of culture on unconscious bias. The episode wraps up with a hopeful discussion on how social psychology can evolve and improve in times of crisis.
Perfect for anyone curious about the inner workings of the mind and eager to learn how science can help us become more open-minded.
