[CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar TOMORROW, Dec 1 - Davie Yoon

by Marian Chen

The next talk in the Cognitive Development Center seminar series will be given by Davie Yoon, Stanford University Date: Wednesday, December 1, 2010, 5 PM Cultural and individual differences in visual cognition Where do our practices of interpreting and attending to the visual world come from? In this talk, I will discuss two lines of research that address this broad question in different ways. In the first project, I will describe young children's (3 to 5-year-olds) striking deficit in recognizing two-tone / Mooney-type images. These images are trivial for adults to recognize with a sufficient cue, such as the original photograph from which the two-tone was derived. We also find that adults from a remote Amazonian tribe (Piraha) show a similar deficit, and that when the need to comprehend the referential relationship between the two-tone and photos is removed, children's recognition improves. This suggests the phenomenon is related to visual symbolic expertise (c.f., DeLoache), rather than the consequence of an immature visual system. In a separate line of research, I will discuss individual differences in viewing an important social stimulus: the human face. We measured participants' self-reported degree of autism-associated traits, and also collected eye-tracking data as they watched a video of a person speaking under two conditions: (1) gaze directed at the participant, (2) gaze averted. We found that individual differences in the level of self-reported autistic-like traits predicted different levels of direct gaze reciprocation (greater gaze to eye region in the direct vs the averted condition), perhaps an indication of the importance of nonconscious gaze mimcry in successful social interactions. _______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-subscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-unsubscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu

Invitation to public lecture by Han Baltussen (University of Adelaide)

by Krisztina Biber

The Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies, and the Department of Philosophy cordially invite you to the next Lecture of the 6th CEMS Colloquia Series by Han Baltussen (University of Adelaide) on Roman Perspectives on grief and loss: Self-address and/or -consolation in Cicero and Marcus Aurelius Time: 2 December 2010, 17:30 Place: CEU, Gellner Room, Nador 9, Budapest Abstract: The very notion of self-consolation is problematic, since the traditional act of consolation is between (at least) two individuals. Here I present work in progress, in which I explore some issues related to grief, self, consolation and literary constructs from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the case of Cicero it involves limited evidence and a persistently misguided approach to his grief experience, for Marcus Aurelius I propose to use Frankfurt’s idea of secondary motivation as a possible key to the purpose of the text. I end with some thoughts on the question whether these works constitute a new Roman genre.

[CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar TODAY - Gil Diesendruck, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

Today's CDC Seminar will be given by Gil Diesendruck, Bar-Ilan University Date: ***TODAY***, November 29, 2010, 5 PM The causes of social essentialism Adults and children around the world seem to treat categories of people as if they have distinct inherent essences, which make the categories incompatible and permanent. In this talk, I will examine some of the factors that may contribute to the development of such essentialist beliefs about social categories. In particular, I will present data from a recent developmental cross-cultural study on children's social categorization. I will then discuss some ideas about the nature and origins of these beliefs, and describe cultural practices that may help sustain them. I will end with speculations about the possible adaptive function of such beliefs. _______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-subscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-unsubscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu
