Gintis/Unifying the Behavioral Sciences: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty, Below the proposal instructions please find the abstract, keywords, and a link to the full text of the forthcoming BBS target article: "A Framework for the Unification the Behavioral Sciences" Herbert Gintis This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL no later than May 24, 2006: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= COMMENTARY PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. Please reply by EMAIL no later than May 24, 2006. ======================================================================= *** TARGET ARTICLE INFORMATION *** ======================================================================= TITLE: A Framework for the Unification the Behavioral Sciences AUTHORS: Herbert Gintis ABSTRACT: The various behavioral disciplines model human behavior in distinct and incompatible ways. Yet, recent theoretical and empirical developments have created the conditions for rendering coherent the areas of overlap of the various behavioral disciplines, as outlined in this paper. The analytical tools deployed in this task incorporate core principles from several behavioral disciplines. The proposed framework recognizes evolutionary theory, covering both genetic and cultural evolution, as the integrating principle of behavioral science. Moreover, if decision theory and game theory are broadened to encompass other-regarding preferences, they become capable of modeling all aspects of decision making, including those normally considered "psychological," "sociological" or "anthropological." The mind as a decision-making organ then becomes the organizing principle of psychology. KEYWORDS: Behavioral Science, Behavioral Game Theory, Evolutionary Theory, Experimental Psychology, Gene-Culture Coevolution, Rational Actor Model, Socialization FULL TEXT: http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Gintis-12052005/Referees/ ======================================================================= SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT ======================================================================= (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email. If you do not wish to receive further Calls, please feel free to change your mailshot status through your User Login link on the BBSPrints homepage, using your username and password.

BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék házi kollokvium sorozata

by Jakab Zoltán

*Nem referáló fogalmak: a felnőttek mintha-játéka?* Jakab Zoltán, BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék A nem referáló fogalmak olyan fogalmak, melyeknek nincs valódi, létező tárgyuk -- pl. Mézga Géza, Noszty Feri, vagy Vuk, a rókakölyök. A nyelvfilozófia illetve az elméleti szemantika számára már hosszú ideje komoly problémát jelent annak megmagyarázása, hogy honnan nyerik jelentésüket a nyelv nem referáló kifejezései. A problémát az okozza, hogy a jelentés természetét Frege, Russell, és követőik óta sokan a referencia fogalma segítségével próbálják megérteni: pl. a 'Mars' név jelentése egy bizonyos jól azonosított égitest. A referenciális szemantika felfogása a megismeréstudomány elméleti alapjaira is nagy hatással van mindmáig, s ezért a nem referáló /fogalmak/ jelentése hasonló kérdéseket vet föl, mint a nem referáló kifejezéseké. E kérdéseknek empirikus vonatkozásaik is vannak: pszichológiai szempontból is olyan nagy-e a különbség a referáló illetve nem referáló fogalmak között, mint a filozófia szemszögéből? Van-e lényeges különbség referáló és nem referáló fogalmaink között szerkezetüket tekintve, vagy a megértésükhöz vezető feldolgozási folyamatok szintjén? E kérdésekkel a legutóbbi időkig lényegében nem foglalkoztak a kognitív pszichológusok. Pár éve egy olyan kutatás látott napvilágot, mely szerint szerkezeti hasonlóságok mutathatók ki referáló és nem referáló fogalmak között, és első közelítésben (reakcióidő mérések alapján) a feldolgozási különbségek is csak minimálisnak tűnnek. Előadásomban az e kutatásból levonható következtetéseket elemzem, további kutatási ötleteket fogalmazva meg. Érzésem szerint a gyermekeknél megjelenő mintha-játék jelensége segít megérteni, hogy hogyan tudunk mi felnőttek is magától értetődő természetességgel kezelni egy kettős igazságfogalmat (pl. egyforma könnyedén elfogadni igaznak azt, hogy Vuk egy rókakölyök, és mondjuk azt, hogy Faludy György költő), beleértve ebbe azt is, hogy bizonyos nyilvánvaló ellentmondások fölött könnyedén elsiklunk, míg másokat azonnal kiszúrunk. Időpont: május 8 hétfő, 12 óra Hely: BME St épület 320. terem Mindenkit szívesen látunk. Jakab Zoltán

kisgyerekek nyelvi kreativitasa

by Banreti Zoltan

Kedves Kollégák, Az MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézete Kisérletes nyelvészet programjában: május 4-én, csütörtökön 14 órától a földszinti előadóban (VI. benczúr. u. 33) Gábor Bálint (BME Kognitiv Tudomáyn Tnszék() előadása: Kisgyerekek morfológiai és szintaktikai produktivitása Az előadás absztraktja az alábbiakban olvasható. Minden érdeklődőt szeretettel várunk. Üdvözlettel, Bánréti ZOltán -------------------------- Kisgyerekek morfológiai és szintaktikai produktivitása Gábor Bálint BME Kognitív Tudomány Tanszék A nyelvelsajátítás kutatásának egyik legfontosabb kérdése, hogy milyen módon sajátítjuk el a nyelvtani szabályokat, szerkezeteket, és hogy a gyerekek nyelvtana milyen viszonyban áll a későbbi felnőtt nyelvtannal. A Chomsky-féle nativista hagyomány szerint minden ember veleszületetten magában hordozza a nyelvi képességet egy univerzális grammatika formájában. A folytonossági hipotézis szerint a gyerekeknek ugyanazon univerzális nyelvtan szerint kell beszélniük, mint ami a felnőtt nyelv hátterében is áll. A kognitív-funkcionális és a használat-alapú nyelvészet támogatói szerint viszont az absztrakt nyelvtani szabályok elsajátítása fokozatosan történik, hatékony területfüggetlen tanulási és szociális képességek (pl. disztribúcióelemzés, analógiafelismerés, szándéktulajdonítás) felhasználásával. E nézet szerint a kisgyermekek nyelvtana kb. három éves korig konkrét szavakhoz kötődő „ige- sziget” konstrukciókból áll, és csak később, fokozatosan alakulnak ki az egyre absztraktabb nyelvtani reprezentációk. Kisgyerekek nyelvtani produktivitásáról számos vizsgálatot találhatunk az irodalomban. Vajon a gyerekek absztrakt szerkezetűnek tűnő megszólalásai mögött tényleg mindig általános nyelvi reprezentáció áll? Egy lehetséges vizsgálati módszer, ha új (nem létező) szavakat tanítunk gyerekeknek, és ellenőrizzük, hogy azokat tudják-e olyan szerkezetekben használni, ill. megérteni, melyben nem hallották. Ha igen, akkor megállapíthatjuk, hogy a használt nyelvtani konstrukció általános arra az argumentumra nézve, amit az új szó betölt benne. Kísérleteinkben a fenti paradigma szerint vizsgáljuk magyar kisgyerekek morfológiai produktivitását új szavakkal (igékkel és főnevekkel), ill. ragokkal. Elemezzük a gyerekek életkorának, a tanult szó vagy rag szintaktikai kategóriájának és a nyelvi bemenet morfológiai változatosságának hatásait. Előadásomban egyrészt áttekintem az irodalomban található nyelvtani (főleg szintaktikai) produktivitásra vonatkozó korábbi empirikus vizsgálatokat, másrészt bemutatom saját morfológiai kutatásunkat és annak jelenlegi eredményeit. ---------------------- MTA Nyelvtudomanyi Intezete Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences H-1068 Budapest Benczúr u. 33 tel: 36-1-351-0413 fax: 36-1-322-9297 email: banreti(a)nytud.hu MTA Nyelvtudomanyi Intezete Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences H-1068 Budapest Benczúr u. 33 tel: 36-1-351-0413 fax: 36-1-322-9297 email: banreti(a)nytud.hu
