The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Development Center seminar series
will be given by
Gábor Háden, BME and MTA
Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 5 PM
Perceptual foundations of music in newborns
The universal prevalence of music in human cultures strongly suggests
that music is deeply rooted in the perceptual and cognitive processes
of the human species. In contrast to some assumptions related to
speech perception, the processes underlying music perception are
probably no specific to music. Music perception can be seen as the
product of interactions between innate predispositions, environmental
constraints, and learning. Finding out which of the abilities
underlying the perception of music are functional at the time of birth
can help to disentangle these interactions.
In this talk, I will present four studies investigating neonatal
abilities underlying the perception of musical pitch, timbre and
rhythm. By applying ERP measurements, sources of information otherwise
hidden by the limited repertoire of behavioral responses available to
newborns can be tapped. I conclude that babies are born well equipped
for gathering information necessary for music perception, with
adult-like abilities.

Létezik-e implicit tanulás?
helyszín: Stoczek utca 2. St. ép. 320-as terem, 1111 Budapest
időpont: 2010 december 13., 14:00-15:00
Absztrakt
Vajon képesek vagyunk tudatos felismerés vagy tudatos figyelem nélkül is kódolni környezetünk összefüggéseit? Hétköznapi tapasztalataink és intuíciónk is azt sugallja, hogy nem csak egyféleképpen tudunk tanulni. Kérdés viszont az, hogy a különböző tanulási élményeink mögött valóban több kognitív rendszert kell-e feltételeznünk? A dichotomikus modellek mintájára a tanulási folyamatokat is szeretjük implicit-explicit szétválasztásban elképzelni. Előadásomban ennek a kettős-rendszer elképzelésnek az elméleti és empirikus tarthatóságát fogom elemezni.
