TEDxUChicago 2011 - Susan Goldin-Meadow - What Our Hands Can Tell Us About Our Minds May 13, 2011

Favorite:

Susan is the chair of Developmental Psychology at the University of Chicago. In 2001, she was awarded a Guggenheim
Fellowship and a James McKeen Cattell Fellowship
which led to her two recently published books. She has found that deaf children whose profound hearing
losses prevent them from learning the speech than surrounds them, and whose hearing parents have not exposed them to sign, invent gesture systems which are structured in language-like ways.

About TEDx, x=independently organize event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-
organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep
discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but
individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
