[koglist] invitation to a talk on `Animal Cognition: Is there a feature that marks an anthropological borderline?` - 11 October, 4.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Albert Newen (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) on Animal Cognition: Is there a feature that marks an anthropological borderline? Tuesday, 11 October, 2011, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In the last two decades we have witnessed the emergence of radically new insights concerning the cognitive abilities of animals. Considering some new insights especially in birds, dogs and monkeys, I am discussing the recent candidates for an anthropological borderline between human and nonhuman animals. It is argued by induction on the basis of significant examples that for all features (as candidates for an anthropological borderline) we find astonishing roots in nonhuman animals. If we account for the top-level abilities of the most advanced nonhuman species (including systematic training of the animals) the suggested borderline tends to be uninterestingly high because it excludes human children up to a certain age who are still lacking these abilities. If we account for a gradual and species-specific development of cognition in evolution and ontogeny (even with significant small steps), the best we can do to compare species is to develop species-specific profiles concerning relevant cognitive abilities. Comparing species would then take place by comparing these profiles while we should give up the idea that any one of the cognitive features alone would allow us to mark an anthropological borderline.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar, Barry Hewlett, TOMORROW, Wednesday, October 5th, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please try to arrive early to ensure you get a seat! The talk will begin *promptly* at 5. The next talk in the CDC seminar series will be given by: Barry Hewlett, Washington State University-Vancouver Date: October 5, 2011, 5 PM Location: Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Social Learning among Congo Basin Hunter-Gatherers Abstract: This paper explores childhood social learning among Aka and Bofi hunter-gatherers in central Africa. Existing literature suggests hunter-gatherer social learning is primarily vertical (parent-to-child) and that teaching is rare. We use behavioral observations, open-ended and semi-structured interviews and informal and anecdotal observations to examine the modes (e.g., vertical versus horizontal/oblique) and processes (e.g., teaching versus observation and imitation) of cultural transmission. Cultural and demographic contexts of social learning associated with the modes and processes of cultural transmission are described. Hunter-gatherer social learning occurred early, was relatively rapid, primarily vertical under age 5, and oblique and horizontal between the ages of 6 and 12. Pedagogy and other forms of teaching existed as early as 12 months of age, but were relatively infrequent by comparison to others processes of social learning, such as observation and imitation.
