The book contradicts Simon Baron-Cohen ’ s speculation that Einstein may have had Asperger syndrome ( see also people speculated to have been autistic ).

In 1985 Simon Baron-Cohen, Alan M. Leslie and Uta Frith published research which suggested that children with autism do not employ a theory of mind, and suggested that children with autism have particular difficulties with tasks requiring the child to understand another person's beliefs.

Baron-Cohen launched the Cambridge Longitudinal Foetal Testosterone ( FT ) Project in the late 1990s, a research program following children of mothers who had amniocentesis.

Baron-Cohen has worked in another research area: synaesthesia, a neurological condition in which a sensation in one modality ( e. g., hearing ) triggers a perception in another modality ( e. g., colour ).

Simon Baron-Cohen ( 1999 ) argues that theory of mind must have preceded language use, based on evidence of use of the following characteristics as much as 40, 000 years ago: intentional communication, repairing failed communication, teaching, intentional persuasion, intentional deception, building shared plans and goals, intentional sharing of focus or topic, and pretending.

The APA's Standard Diagnostic Manual came under criticism from autism specialists Tony Attwood and Simon Baron-Cohen for proposing the elimination of Asperger's syndrome as a disorder and replacing it with an autism severity scale.

An interview with Simon Singh for the Guardian, in which Borcherds suggested he might have some traits associated with Asperger syndrome, subsequently led to a chapter about him in a book on autism by Simon Baron-Cohen.

Baron-Cohen has developed software for special education ( Mindreading ) and an animation series to teach children with autism to recognise and understand emotions ( The Transporters ) both of which were BAFTA nominated and have been scientifically evaluated to show that they have benefit to emotional and social learning in autism.

Baron-Cohen was awarded the Spearman Medal from the British Psychological Society ( BPS ), the McAndless Award from the American Psychological Association, the May Davison Award for Clinical Psychology from the BPS, and the Presidents Award from the BPS.

Researcher Simon Baron-Cohen has proposed the empathizing-systemizing theory, and argues for a " male brain type " with systemizing abilities, and is contrasted against a " female brain type ", which he argues is linked with empathizing.

Baron-Cohen was a co-author of the first study to show that children with autism have delays in the development of a theory of mind ( ToM ) ( Cognition, 1985 ).

* Simon Baron-Cohen ( 2003 ): Empathy is about spontaneously and naturally tuning into the other person's thoughts and feelings, whatever these might be [...] There are two major elements to empathy.

* Baron-Cohen, S, and Bolton, P, ( 1993 ) Autism: the facts.

In an article in 2000 ( Development and Psychopathology ) Baron-Cohen argued that high-functioning autism or Asperger Syndrome need not just lead to disability, but can also lead to talent.

Individuals with autism often find using a theory of mind very difficult ( e. g. Baron-Cohen, Leslie & Frith, 1988 ; the Sally-Anne test ).

Both males and females with Autistic Spectrum Disorders usually score higher on the SQ ( Baron-Cohen, 2003 ).

In the late 1990s Baron-Cohen developed the hypothesis that typical sex differences may provide a neurobiological and psychological understanding of autism ( the empathizing – systemizing theory ).

The AMPAS was originally conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer as a professional honorary organization to help improve the film industry ’ s image and help mediate labor disputes.

The International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences defines psychological altruism as " a motivational state with the goal of increasing another ’ s welfare ".

Psychological altruism is contrasted with psychological egoism, which refers to the motivation to increase one ’ s own welfare.

One way is a sincere expression of Christian love, " motivated by a powerful feeling of security, strength, and inner salvation, of the invincible fullness of one ’ s own life and existence ".

Another way is merely " one of the many modern substitutes for love, ... nothing but the urge to turn away from oneself and to lose oneself in other people ’ s business.

* David Firestone-When Romney ’ s Reach Exceeds His Grasp-Mitt Romney quotes the song

" Swift extends the metaphor to get in a few jibes at England ’ s mistreatment of Ireland, noting that " For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it.

George Wittkowsky argued that Swift ’ s main target in A Modest Proposal was not the conditions in Ireland, but rather the can-do spirit of the times that led people to devise a number of illogical schemes that would purportedly solve social and economic ills.

In response, Swift ’ s Modest Proposal was " a burlesque of projects concerning the poor ", that were in vogue during the early 18th century.

Critics differ about Swift ’ s intentions in using this faux-mathematical philosophy.

Charles K. Smith argues that Swift ’ s rhetorical style persuades the reader to detest the speaker and pity the Irish.

Swift ’ s specific strategy is twofold, using a " trap " to create sympathy for the Irish and a dislike of the narrator who, in the span of one sentence, " details vividly and with rhetorical emphasis the grinding poverty " but feels emotion solely for members of his own class.

Swift ’ s use of gripping details of poverty and his narrator ’ s cool approach towards them create " two opposing points of view " that " alienate the reader, perhaps unconsciously, from a narrator who can view with ' melancholy ' detachment a subject that Swift has directed us, rhetorically, to see in a much less detached way.

Once the children have been commodified, Swift ’ s rhetoric can easily turn " people into animals, then meat, and from meat, logically, into tonnage worth a price per pound ".

Swift uses the proposer ’ s serious tone to highlight the absurdity of his proposal.

In making his argument, the speaker uses the conventional, text book approved order of argument from Swift ’ s time ( which was derived from the Latin rhetorician Quintilian ).

James Johnson argued that A Modest Proposal was largely influenced and inspired by Tertullian ’ s Apology: a satirical attack against early Roman persecution of Christianity.

Johnson notes Swift ’ s obvious affinity for Tertullian and the bold stylistic and structural similarities between the works A Modest Proposal and Apology.

He reminds readers that " there is a gap between the narrator ’ s meaning and the text ’ s, and that a moral-political argument is being carried out by means of parody ".

* Archaeological research focuses on items left behind during people ’ s activities: fragments of pottery vessels, garbage, human remains, stone tools or evidence left from the construction of dwellings.

A 2004 case study concluded that the proper use of screenshots can significantly support a user ’ s “ developing a mental model of the program ” and help in “ identifying and locating window elements and objects .” This research concluded that screen shots allowed users to “ learn more, make fewer mistakes, and learn in a shorter time frame ,” which can certainly assist in increasing the time frame for full implementation of a CRM system with limited technical or human support.

Postmodern critical research is also characterized by what is called, the crisis of representation, which rejects the idea that a researcher ’ s work is considered an “ objective depiction of a stable other ” ( Lindlof & Taylor, 2002, p. 53 ).

Instead, in their research and writing, many postmodern scholars have adopted “ alternatives that encourage reflection about the ‘ politics and poetics ’ of their work.

This story is not mentioned in Dunn ’ s or Mencken ’ s research, but if there were such a contractor and such events, they would have taken place after the term " Hoosier " was already well established in Appalachia and was becoming attached to Indiana.

As Harvard hypnotherapist Deirdre Barrett describes in the book “ Tales from a Hypnotherapist ’ s Couch ”, most modern research suggestions are designed to bring about immediate responses — an arm rises immediately, whereas hypnotheraputic suggestions are usually post-hypnotic ones that are intended to trigger responses affecting behavior for periods ranging from days to a lifetime in duration.
