[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar, Stefanie Hoehl, Wednesday, March 2, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by Stefanie Hoehl, University of Heidelberg Date: March 2, 2011, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Effects of social and non-social cues on infants' attention towards objects<http://www.ceu.hu/events/2011-03-02/effects-of-social-and-non-social-cues-o…> Infants are sensitive to social cues such as eye gaze and emotional expressions from early on. In a series of studies we have examined the effects of emotional expressions and eye gaze cues on infants' attention towards objects using ERP. At three months of age infants show an increased Nc response for objects, which were previously presented with a fearful vs. neutral face looking towards the objects. This Nc effect was interpreted as reflecting increased attention to the fearfully cued objects. While we found no such effect for happy vs. neutral faces, a very similar effect was found for surprised vs. neutral faces. In a further series of studies we are comparing the effects of different social attention cues with non-social movement cues using ERP and eye tracking. Our results show that a turning head affects 4-month-olds subsequent neural responses and visual preferences for novel objects, while a turning car has no significant effect on infants' attention or visual preferences. Our findings suggest that even very young infants selectively use social cues to guide their attentional resources. _______________________________________________ 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

[koglist] Meghívó: A nyelvi folyamatok mechanizmusa: szabályos és analógiás változások?

by Tamás Kis

*MEGHÍVÓ* A *Társas-Kognitív Nyelvészeti Kutatócsoport,* valamint a *Magyar Nyelvtudományi Társaság Debreceni Csoportja, *a *DAB Nyelvészeti Munkabizottsága *és a *Hatvani István Szakkollégium* meghívja *Fehér Krisztina* *A nyelvi folyamatok mechanizmusa: szabályos és analógiás változások?*** című előadására A nyelvi folyamatok kapcsán az ún. történeti nyelvészetben - döntően az újgrammatikus tanok nyomán - mintegy százötven éve szabályos és analógiás változások kettősségéről beszélnek. Az előadás a lipcsei alapítók által megfogalmazott eredeti újgrammatikus elveket, majd ezek utóéletét elemezve arra kíván rámutatni, hogy a nyelvi mechanizmusoknak ez a felfogása voltaképpen anélkül vált általánosan elfogadott axiómává a nyelvtudományban, hogy a koncepciót valaha is empirikusan igazolták volna. Maga az elképzelés ugyanis nemigen fér össze a nyelv relatív természetével, nem véletlen, hogy a vélt szabályos változások háttértényezői mindmáig kérdőjelesek, az analógiás alakulásoké pedig - legalábbis olyan formájukban, ahogyan ezeket a 19. század vége óta értelmezni szokás - bizonytalanok maradtak. Az újgrammatizmus kritikájának tanulságaiból az előadás végére egy olyan dinamikus és heterogén hálómodell képe körvonalazódik, amelyben a változások immár kontextusukba ágyazva, relatív módon tűnnek fel, így eleve csak mozgatórugóikkal együtt, a közösségi eredetű mintahatások statisztikai összjátékaként ragadhatók meg. *Helyszín:* a Debreceni Egyetem Kossuth Lajos III. sz.

[koglist] invitation to a talk on 'Recognition and the Politics of Needs' by Robin Celikates - March 1st, 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 Robin Celikates (University of Amsterdam) on 'Recognition and the Politics of Needs' Tuesday, 1 March, 2010, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT The claim that human beings need recognition seems intuitively plausible. In the existing literature on both recognition and needs, however, this claim is rarely explicitly spelled out and defended. In my talk I will address some of the problems that contemporary theories of recognition face in explaining the link between needs and recognition. I will first sketch how this link can be conceived and discuss in how far recognition itself can be understood as a basic human need. Starting from the idea that a basic human need is something that it is necessary for humans to have, I will then discuss the implications of understanding recognition as a condition of agency. After having pointed out some of the problems such an understanding of the link between needs and recognition has to confront, I will, in the last step, argue for a negative, minimalist and proceduralist approach that focuses on misrecognition and conceives of recognition as primarily directed at the status of agents as parties in struggles for and over recognition.
