Social Context of Cognitive Development
This is a great book. It transported me back to the college courses I took in the late 90s for a teacher's credential. It was basically an overview of what I had learned over a two year period, except in a condensed, readable, and interesting format - although sometimes difficult to grasp and a few time to understand, due to my own lack of abilities.
He writes about how he believes our brains work and tries to dispell the myth that the human brain is like a computer arguing that our humanity is the greatest part of what makes our minds so special. He addresses autism and other brain differences, as well as language aqusition, mathematical skills, creativity, illogical and imprecise thinking, and other interesting aspects of how we learn, think, remember, and create.
Even as I accessed this book in a readable fashion it becomes apparrent how amazing Tammet is. He is an autistic savant and considered to have one of the greatest minds alive. Among many other gifts he learned the very difficult language of Icelandic in approximately one week, and spoke it fluently with native speakers in a TV interview. Incredible!
