Lectures on Tap — How We Read People: The Psychology of Social Cues
Developmental psychologist Sarah Lynch looks at how the mind turns small, ambiguous social cues, such as a delayed text, an odd look or a strange tone, into stories, emotions and actions, and how attention, memory, expectation and attribution bias let two people leave the same moment with different versions of it. Lynch holds a PhD in developmental science from Boston University and has taught at Harvard.
