invitation to a philosophy talk

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Laird C. Addis (University of Iowa)) on Ryle and Intentionality Tuesday, 13. January, 2009, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT After some opening comments on how I think one should approach the philosophy of mind, I look at what relatively little Gilbert Ryle had to say explicitly about intentionality, that occurring almost exclusively in his several papers on phenomenology. Then I discuss the notion of intentionality with respect to the doctrines of The Concept of Mind, although neither the word nor the idea, strictly speaking, appears anywhere in the book. Following more exposition of my own views, including an argument I have made for a certain, specific theory of intentionality, I close with some final reflections on Ryle as a modern-day Aristotelian.

TITLE: Does Sexual Selection Explain Human Sex Differences in Aggression? AUTHORS: John Archer ABSTRACT: Evidence on human sex differences in aggression is assessed in relation to sexual selection and social role explanations. A distinction is first made between within-sex and between-sex aggression. Within-sex aggression showed a pattern of larger sex differences in physical than verbal aggression and little overall difference in indirect aggression, consistent with an evolutionary cost-benefit analysis. Sex differences in physical aggression are found early in life, and peak in young adulthood, again consistent with an evolutionary origin. Possible mediators of the sex difference in physical aggression are fear of physical danger, impulsiveness, and empathy, which broadly fit both explanations. Individual differences are discussed in relation to alternative life history strategies, and ecologically-produced and role-related variability. Aggression is placed into the context of other sex differences that are also likely to have resulted from sexual selection. Research on between-sex (partner) aggression in western samples showed that women and men are equally likely to physically aggress. A cross-national analysis found that there was a strong correlation between the magnitude of the sex difference and a national measure of gender empowerment. Both sets of findings are discussed in relation to models derived from sexual selection, and social role analyses. Sexual selection in its original form provides a plausible ultimate explanation for sex differences in within-sex aggression. Between-sex aggression can be viewed in evolutionary terms as the outcome of conflicts of interest and inequality of coercive power between the sexes, although this is heavily overlaid with influences from gender roles, particularly patriarchal values, which can explain the marked cross-national variations.

Meghívó - BME Kognitív Szemináriumsorozat

by Keresztes Attila

A BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék szeretettel vár mindenkit tanszéki szeminárium sorozatának *következő előadásá*ra: Január 12., hétfő, 12:00-13:00, BME, XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320.-as terem. *Németh Dezső* SZTE BTK Pszichológiai Intézet Megismeréstudományi Csoport /A probabilisztikus implicit tanulás -- fejlődés és patológia/** *Absztrakt: * Az explicit és implicit tanulási folyamatok elkülönülnek egymástól. A készségek tanulása nem csak a gyakorlás közben, "online" zajlik, hanem a gyakorlások közötti, "offline" periódusokban is. Számos vizsgálat mutatott ki fiatal, egészséges személyeknél offline teljesítményjavulást (például Robertson, Pascual-Leone & Press, 2004; Dorfberger, Adi-Japha & Karni, 2007), arról azonban megoszlanak a vélemények, hogy az alvásnak milyen szerepe van ebben (például Walker és Stickgold, 2004; Spencer, Gouw & Ivry, 2008). Továbbá az is fontos kérdés, hogy például egészséges idős személyeknél, vagy olyan patológiák esetén mint az MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) vagy az autizmus, van-e offline teljesítményjavulás, konszolidáció, vagy felejtés. Kutatásainkban a szeriális reakcióidő-feladat egy módosított változatával vizsgáltuk az implicit tanulást. Ez a feladat az aSRT (alternating serial reaction time; Howard és Howard, 1997), amellyel a korábbi változatoknál precízebben tudjuk mérni az implicit tanulás idői dimenzióit már a gyakorlás kezdetétől, valamint el tudjuk különíteni az általános motoros tanulást a szekvencia-specifikus tanulástól. Az előadás bemutatja idős személyek, MCI-sek, és autista gyermekek eredményeit probabilisztikus implicit tanulási helyzetben. http://cogsci.bme.hu/Esem.php?esemIndex=69 Keresztes Attila BME-Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék akeresztes(a)cogsci.bme.hu <mailto:akeresztes@cogsci.bme.hu>
