Mind Reading: Emotions Library

Cary Grant

Hi

Has anyone used the Mind Reading software developed by Simon Baron-Cohen.  It costs £80 and I am wondering if its worth it.

I have learnt lots from reading different books about body language and the art of conversation but my emotional vocabulary is still quite small.  I tend to put emotions either into positive and negative.

Thanks for your input.

  • The problem is that real world situations are so different to software packages. We can learn emotions academically all we want, and can camouflage our aspergers by simulating emotion and acting out a script. But usually we can't generalise, meaning in an unfamiliar scenario no amount of acting will be of any use. The problem with Theory of Mind is a developmental one; we can catch up to a degree but we will always struggle to some extent, particularly ith interpreting emotion: everyone displays emotion slightly differently, requiring generalisation skills
