[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Colloquium: Feb. 1st, Trauma has no race and nation: a perspective of clinical neuroscience, by Szabolcs Keri and Einat Levy

by Christophe Heintz

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by *Szabolcs Keri, *University of Szeged, Hungary; National Psychiatry Center, Budapest, Hungary and *Einat Levy, *Rutgers University, Newark, USA on *Trauma has no Race and Nation: a Perspective of Clinical Neuroscience* Date: Wed, February 1, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 ABSTRACT: Psychological trauma, an overwhelming experience of various threatening situations during which the survival, safety, and integrity of the self are severely endangered, can occur in various cultural environments. Posttraumatic stress reactions include intensive and prolonged fear and anxiety, detachment from reality, intrusive recollection (nightmares, flashbacks, and aversive memories), avoidance behavior, emotional numbness, depression, and social isolation. These reactions are expressed, interpreted, and treated in a unique way in different cultures. Here, we argue that behind the cultural diversity psychological trauma is associated with uniformly altered basic associative learning processes. By the comparison of trauma-exposed individuals from the Middle East (victims of terrorist attacks and military trauma) and Hungary (the natural disaster of redsludge flood and other civilian traumas), we show that context reversal learning is identically disrupted, together with structural alterations in the hippocampal formation and amygdala. Results from these studies suggest that human suffering related to traumatic experiences shares the same neurocognitive and neuroanatomical bases regardless of culture, race, and ethnicity. We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk by Fraser MacBride on`Trope Neglect: The Moore‑Stout Debate` - 31 January, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Fraser MacBride (University of Cambridge) on "Trope Neglect: The Moore‑Stout Debate" Tuesday, 31 January, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In this paper I aim to come to an understanding of how one trope proselyte, G.F. Stout, and another apostate, G.E. Moore, contrived to talk past one another in a famous exchange in Durham in July 1923 ("Are The Characteristics of Particular Things Universal of Particular?"). The result was to mislead a generation of British philosophers, leading to their subsequent neglect of tropes (aka abstract particulars, moments etc). I suggest that the failure of Stout and Moore to communicate arose from a deeper disagreement, —that they failed to make explicit—, about the contents of perceptual experience.

[koglist] Extension: BBS Call for Commentary Proposals--Dixon

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: We wrote to you a few weeks ago to announce that BBS had accepted an article by Dixon et al. for general, open peer commentary in BBS. We are writing once more to announce that, if you want to submit a commentary proposal but did not, we're accepting more commentary proposals----until Monday February 13th. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). **No action is required if you are not interested.** Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of February. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations. NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: "Beyond prejudice: Are negative evaluations the problem and is getting us to like one another more the solution?" Authors: John Dixon, Mark Levine, Steve Reicher, and Kevin Durrheim Deadline for Commentary Proposals: February 13, 2012 Abstract: For most of the history of prejudice research, negativity has been treated as its emotional and cognitive signature, a conception that continues to dominate work on the topic. By this definition, prejudice occurs when we dislike or derogate members of other groups. Recent research, however, has highlighted the need for a more nuanced and 'inclusive' (Eagly 2004) perspective on the role of intergroup emotions and beliefs in sustaining discrimination. On the one hand, several independent lines of research have shown that unequal intergroup relations are often marked by attitudinal complexity, with positive responses such as affection and admiration mingling with negative responses such as contempt and resentment. Simple antipathy is the exception rather than the rule. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence that nurturing bonds of affection between the advantaged and the disadvantaged sometimes entrenches rather than disrupts wider patterns of discrimination. Notably, prejudice reduction interventions may have ironic effects on the political attitudes of the historically disadvantaged, decreasing their perceptions of injustice and willingness to engage in collective action to transform social inequalities. These developments raise a number of important questions. Has the time come to challenge the assumption that negative evaluations are inevitably the cognitive and affective hallmarks of discrimination? Is the orthodox concept of prejudice in danger of side-tracking, if not obstructing, progress towards social justice in a fuller sense? What are the prospects for reconciling a prejudice reduction model of change, designed to get people to like one another more, with a collective action model of change, designed to ignite struggles to achieve intergroup equality? Keywords: Prejudice; intergroup relations; social change Download Target Article Preprint:http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Dixon_preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS *MUST* INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting on. 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book. Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors, if applicable, in the text of your commentary proposal. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate. If you are not a BBS Associate, please follow the instructions below. To suggest others as possible Commentators, or to nominate others for BBS Associateship status, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Inst/Assoc HOW TO SUBMIT A COMMENTARY PROPOSAL If you would like to nominate yourself for potential commentary invitation, you must submit a Commentary Proposal via our BBS Editorial Manager site: 1.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar, Kai Vogeley, Wednesday, January 25, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by: Kai Vogeley, University of Cologne Date: Wednesday, January 25, 2012, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center at CEU, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat! The talk will begin promptly at 5. Social Cognition and Autism Abstract: Social cognition as the capacity to process socially relevant information is an essential component of the human cognitive equipment that allows us to communicate and interact with others and to adapt to complex affordances created by our social environment; seemingly effortlessly we are able to generate impressions and make inferences about the inner experience of others in everyday life. However, the enormous variations of social behaviour and diversity in human communication often enough challenge our capacity to understand others and can lead to misunderstandings in social encounters. Research activities from many different fields have identified a variety of factors (age, gender, culture, norm deviance, language modalities) as influential sources of variance in social information processing. In this presentation, I will talk about psychological processes and neural mechanisms (employing functional magnetic resonance imaging) that underly nonverbal communication focusing on gaze perception, impression formation and true interaction with a special focus on the variance related to the psychopathology of high-functioning autism. These studies are crucial to our basic understanding of human communication and interaction and their disturbances.

[koglist] Reminder: BBS Call for Commentary Proposals -- Charney

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: We wrote to you a few weeks ago to announce that BBS had accepted an article by Dr. Evan Charney for open peer commentary in BBS. We are writing once more to remind you that, if you want to submit a commentary proposal but haven't yet, we're still accepting commentary proposals----until Wednesday January 25th. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). No action is required if you aren't interested. Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of February. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations. If you have any questions, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: "Behavior genetics and post genomics" Authors: Evan Charney Deadline for Commentary Proposals: January 25, 2012 Abstract: The science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal mosaicism, and the nature of the epigenome as a regulator of DNA expressivity, are challenging a series of dogmas concerning the nature of the genome and the relationship between genotype and phenotype. DNA, once held to be the unchanging template of heredity, now appears subject to a good deal of environmental change; considered to be identical in all cells and tissues of the body, there is growing evidence that somatic mosaicism is the normal human condition; and treated as the sole biological agent of heritability, we now know that the epigenome, which regulates gene expressivity, can be inherited via the germline. These developments are particularly significant for behavior genetics for at least three reasons: First, these phenomena appear to be particularly prevalent in the human brain, and likely are involved in much of human behavior; second, they have important implications for the validity of heritability and gene association studies, the methodologies that largely define the discipline of behavior genetics; and third, they appear to play a critical role in development during the perinatal period, and in enabling phenotypic plasticity in offspring in particular. I examine one of the central claims to emerge from the use of heritability studies in the behavioral sciences, the principle of "minimal shared maternal effects," in light of the growing awareness that the maternal perinatal environment is a critical venue for the exercise of adaptive phenotypic plasticity. This consideration has important implications for both developmental and evolutionary biology.
