Learn about your mind through fantasy stories and conversations with female scientists! Part 1: The Fantasy Story Each episode follows the story of Eve, a sixteen-year-old scribe traveling the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons and Dragons in search of a place to call home. Written into the plot of each episode is a different topic in cognitive science, that is explored in detail in Part 2. Part 2: The Interview Released simultaneously with developments in the fantasy story are interviews with female scientists who study the topics explored in each episode. In the interviews, the writer explains the theories she wove into the narrative, and the scientists expand on what these look like in the real world.

    1 SBTS: Language with Debra Titone

    Discover the psychology of language written into episode 1! We discuss bilingualism, the social and cultural nature of language, the connection between language and thought, and the difference between written and spoken language with Dr. Debra Titone, director of the McGill Language and Multilingualism Lab. There's also a hidden Easter egg if you make it all the way to the end! Support the show, talk to us on Twitter, find us on Facebook, or explore our central home at magicofthemind.ca. Here is the first chapter of Metaphors We Live By book, a book that explores how the language we use can shape our thoughts, by Lakoff & Johnson. This is the study that details the patient response to the different metaphors used by doctors - the conditions were framing cancer as a battle or as a journey. BONUS reading: Sex and Death in the Rational World of Defense Intellectuals, by Carol Cohn, explores how the language used by nuclear analysts distances them from the effects of their catastrophic work. Taken together, these and other studies make me think deeply about how the language we use manifests itself in thoughts and actions.
