[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 14. Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences?

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Anna Babarczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics on Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? Date: Wed, March 14, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? ABSTRACT: The question of learning the meaning of abstract language (roughly, expressions with no perceptible referents) has been bugging philosophers for thousands of years. More recently, a number of experimental paradigms have emerged trying to shed light on this issue. The basic idea explored in the talk is that people understand abstract (metaphorical) expressions by linking them to sensory or bodily experiences. If this is the case, we should be able to show that these experiences affect people’s interpretation of abstract utterances. The talk looks at the evidence we have so far (pro and contra).We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) ! _______________________________________________ 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] 3 postdoc positions at CEU, Budapest

by Gergely Csibra

he Cognitive Development Center (CDC) at the Central European University (CEU), Budapest, announces a search for 3 postdoctoral positions, supervised by Ágnes M. Kovács, György Gergely, and Gergely Csibra. The CDC is an English speaking lab, which currently employs 6 postdocs (from 5 countries), 4 graduate students, and research support personnel. Our research covers broad areas of cognitive development, and focuses primarily on social cognition. The three posts are funded from various external sources. Applicants must have a PhD in psychology or a related field, and a strong record of prior research accomplishments. The postdoctoral researchers will work on the following projects (some overlap among them is possible): Project 1 – job code: 2012/028 Neural bases of receptive communication and social learning in human infants (PI Gergely Csibra). The postholder is expected to design and conduct studies with EEG/ERP and NIRS, as well as with behavioral methods, on the perception and interpretation of ostensive and referential signals (including words) by human infants. Familiarity with electrophysiological methodology and infants research is an advantage. The post is open from September 2012 for two years. Project 2 – job code:2012/029 Mechanisms of belief attribution (PI Ágnes M. Kovács). The successful applicant is expected to develop and conduct research investigating the representational preconditions for understanding other minds and perform behavioral studies with infants/children/adults, and possibly NIRS studies with infants. Experience with infant research and/or NIRS methodology is an advantage. The post is open from September 2012 for one or two years (depends on negotiation). Project 3 – job code: 2012/030 Understanding intentional agents in typical and atypical development (PI György Gergely). The main target of the project is to understand how contingency detection mechanisms operate in participants with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and in typically developing children and infants. The postholder is expected to design and conduct studies with ASD children and adults as well as typical controls. Experience with developmental research, eye tracking methodology and atypical populations is an advantage The post is open from January 2013 for 15 months. Compensation is commensurate with experience. However, we offer a competitive salary, as well as a dynamic and international academic environment. Applicants need to submit: - a full CV, - contact address for 2 references, and - a cover letter specifying the applicant's preference among the three positions. Please send your complete application package, including the above relevant job codes in subject line (e.g. 2012/028), to: advert(a)ceu.hu Application deadline: June 30, 2012 Informal inquiries about the positions could be addressed to György Gergely (gergelygy(a)ceu.hu), Gergely Csibra (csibrag(a)ceu.hu), or Ágnes M. Kovács (kovacsag(a)ceu.hu). Central European University (CEU) is a graduate research-intensive university specializing primarily in the social sciences. It is located in Budapest, and accredited in the United States and Hungary. CEU’s mission is to promote academic excellence, state-of-the-art research, and civic engagement, in order to contribute to the development of open societies in Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and other emerging democracies throughout the world.

Kedves mindenki, statisztikai szoftverek beszerzését fontolgatjuk (MTA NYI), ez ügyben kérdezem, hogy bárkinek van-e tapasztalata a Stata nevű programmal ( www.stata.com). Elég felhasználóbarát-e, tudja-e a többváltozós varianciaanalíziseket, GLM-et, regressziót stb., milyen a grafikus megjelenítés. Egyáltalán, funkcionalitásban és kezelhetőségben mérhető-e az SPSS-hez?
