Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and biologists are encouraged to report experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have philosophical significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage with the fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such work. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial concepts, simulation theory, attention, joint attention, reference, problems of consciousness, introspection and self-report, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition, infants' understanding of intentionality, memory and time, motor imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, minimalism in linguistic theory, reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought without language, externalism, connectionism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of neuropsychological results. CALL The Society invites submitted papers and posters for this meeting. Submitted papers are refereed and selected on the basis of quality and relevance to psychologists, philosophers and linguists. Papers should not exceed a length of 20 minutes (about 8 double-spaced pages) for a total 30 minute session. Submissions may be by abstract (ca. 500 words) but in the case of philosophical submissions a full paper is preferred. Please state the primary discipline of your paper (philosophy, psychology, or linguistics) by checking the respective box during the online submission process. There will also be poster presentations. A submission for a poster presentation should consist of a 500-word abstract. Submitted papers may also be considered for presentation as posters. All submissions (whether abstracts or full papers) should be in PDF-format and should be properly anonymized in order to allow for blind refereeing.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`What are colours if not surface spectral reflectances?` by Miljana Milojević - 17 April, 4.00 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk by Miljana Milojević (University of Belgrade) on `What are colours if not surface spectral reflectances?` Tuesday, 17 April 2012, 4.00 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Naturalistic theories of content determination have to answer the question what constitutes representational content of mental states about secondary and tertiary qualities, such as being red or being pleasent. There are three typical views about the nature of non-primary qualities: they are objective physical properties, subjective mental properties, or dispositions of physical objects to produce appropriate mental states. Although there are three possible anwers, objectivism about secondary qualities was seen as only viable option for a naturalistically inclined philosopher. In spite of this commonly held opinion, it is possible to give a dispositionalist account about non-primary qualities which is compatible with naturalistic theories of content. This kind of dispositionalism has the advantage over objectivism as it resolves some of the difficulties objectivists face; it rejects dubious disjunctive properties as objects of representations, objectivists were forced to endorse, and replaces them with particular dispositions, and it gives a unified account about the nature of secondary and tertiary qualities, which were handled separately by objectivists about secondary qualities. Unfortunately, endorsement of dispositionalism opens yet new problems such as: the impossibility of misrepresentation, and the inclusion of normativity in otherwise naturalized theory of representational content. These seemingly difficult obstacles can nevertheless be surpassed by teleological amandment to dispositionalist account, or so I will argue, which simultaneously solves both problems – it naturalises assumed notion of normativity and defines response-dependent dispositions in such a way that binds them more tightly to the world and so surmounts the problem of misrepresentation.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] ANNOUNCEMENT: CDC Seminar: Heidi Keller, FRIDAY, April 20, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

PLEASE NOTE: This talk will take place on a different day than usual! Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please 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: Heidi Keller, University of Osnabrück Date: FRIDAY, April 20, 2012, 5 PM Location: CEU Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor *Infancy curricula: Cultural conceptions of natural pedagogy * Abstract: Infancy is the life phase in human ontogeny with the fastest developmental pace. Psychologists and neuroscientists have therefore argued that infancy is especially important for laying the ground for developmental trajectories. From an evolutionary perspective, infancy does not only serve as a preparatory period to acquire competencies that are important for later life, but also to adapt to the environment to ensure survival and thriving. Humans are endowed with behavioral dispositions that are particularly suited to support infant development, i.e. with natural pedagogy. Yet, the environmental challenges and affordances differ substantially, so that there is not one pedagogy, that fits all infants. In this presentation, infancy curricula will be discussed from two very divergent environments: Western middle class families, who cover about 5% of the world’ s population, but determine largely our mainstream understanding of development, and subsistence based farmer families, who cover about 30 to 40 % of the world’ s population but are grossly underrepresented in our textbooks. Families in these two contexts have completely different cultural worldviews and infancy curricula accordingly. It is argued that development can be understood as the cultural solution of universal developmental tasks. Caregivers are endowed with a universal parenting repertoire from which cultural styles have emerged. Cultural variation is not random, but has to be considered systematically if development is to be understood from a global scale. *Cognitive Science events at CEU: http://cognitivescience.ceu.hu/events* _______________________________________________ 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 - BME Kognitív Szemináriumsorozat / Invitation - BME Cognitive Seminar Series

by Attila Keresztes

We cordially invite you to the next lecture of the BME Cognitive Seminar Series: Date & Time: April 16, Monday, 12:00-13:00 Location: BME, XI., Egry József utca 1., T. ép 515. *The Pathophysiology of Idiopathic Nightmare Disorder: A Polysomnographic Investigation* *Simor Péter* Department of Cognitive Science, Budapest University of Technology and Economics http://www.bodizs-lab.hu/people/postgraduate-students/peter-daniel-simor.ht… Abstract Idiopathic nightmare disorder, affecting 2-8 percent of the adult population, is considered to be a REM parasomnia characterized (on a weekly basis) by highly disturbing mental experiences during late-night sleep. The common appearance of disturbed dreaming and psychopathological symptoms have contributed to the assumption that nightmares are the secondary symptom of an underlying mental disorder. Nevertheless, while co-morbid psychopathology may increase the severity and daytime effects of disturbed dreaming, research suggests that frequent nightmares should be considered as a specific sleep disorder that are independent in its origins from other mental complaints. According to questionnaire-based data, disturbed dreaming is related to poor subjective sleep quality; however; polysomnographic studies investigating objective sleep alterations in subjects with frequent nightmares are more than scarce. In order to unravel the neurophysiological background of disturbed sleep in nightmare disorder we selected a group of young nightmare sufferers and healthy controls for standard polysomnography (10-20 system) for two consecutive nights in our sleep laboratory. In this talk, we present our findings related to the alterations of sleep architecture, the so-called macrostructure of sleep. Moreover we present our results regarding abnormal arousal processes in nightmare subjects, based on the evaluation of the Cyclic Alternating Pattern. Finally we briefly summarize our preliminary data on the spectral distribution of neural oscillations that provides a more detailed analysis into the dynamics of sleep regulation. -- Attila Keresztes Junior Research Fellow Budapest University of Technology and Economics Dept. of Cognitive Science, Egry József u. 1, Budapest 1111, Hungary Tel: +36 1 4633525

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: CDC Seminar, Emmanuel Dupoux, Wednesday, April 11, 5 PM

by Marian Chen

The next talk in the CDC seminar series will be given by: Emmanuel Dupoux, École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Laboratoire de Science Cognitive et Psycholinguistique Date: Wednesday, April 11, 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. *Studying early cognitive development using Near Infrared Spectroscopy: data and challenges* Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) is becoming a popular technique to study early neurocognitive development in infants. There are, however, still a host of methodological stumbling blocks that need to be addressed to improve the reliability of the data. In this talk, I address some of these issues, illustrating them with recent data in language discrimination and social cognition paradigms that we have been developing recently. *Cognitive Science events at CEU: http://cognitivescience.ceu.hu/events* _______________________________________________ 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
