Re: [xmca] Polls are closed: Manfred Holodynsk's article is choice

[Robert Lake <boblake@georgiasouthern.edu>]

Hi everyone,
I am a relative newcomer to CHAT research, so this (mostly rhetorical)
question is probably
old hat to many of you. It concerns Holodynski's article as it may or may
not relate to the notion of mirror neurons as described by Ramachandran.

http://www.ted.com/talks/vs_ramachandran_the_neurons_that_shaped_civilization.html


If I understand this correctly, in Holodynski's view, a caregiver mirrors
back to the child, his or her own emotions through gesture and facial
expressions. What if the child's emotions/expressions fall into the range
of autism spectrum disorders? Can ZPD's be created that in turn help create
and develop "empathy" neurons in us regardless of our age level? Are there
some cultures that are more emotionally and perhaps empathically evolved?

Thank-you MCA team  and Professor Holodynski for this article. I think it
represents the a key component for the future of cultural/historical
research.

Fascinated and curious,
Robert Lake
