[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] [CDC Seminars] ANNOUNCEMENT: Scott Johnson, Wednesday, July 4, 5 PM

by Mikolaj Hernik

PLEASE NOTE: This talk will take place in a DIFFERENT VENUE than usual. The talk will start promptly at 5 PM. The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by: Scott Johnson, UCLA Date: Wednesday, July 4, 2012, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út, room 303, 3rd floor Constraints on Visual Statistical Learning in Infancy Abstract: Statistical learning is the process of identifying patterns of probabilistic co-occurrence among stimulus features, essential to our ability to perceive the world as predictable and stable. Research on auditory statistical learning has revealed that infants use statistical properties of linguistic input to discover structure, including sound patterns, words, and the beginnings of grammar, that may facilitate language acquisition. Previous research on visual statistical learning revealed abilities to discriminate probabilities in visual sequences, leading to claims of a domain-general learning device that is available early in life, perhaps at birth. More recent research, however, challenges this view. Visual statistical learning appears to be constrained by limits in infants' attention and memory, raising the possibility that statistical learning, like rule learning, may be best characterized as domain-specific. Implications for theories of cognitive development will be discussed.

The talk will start promptly at 5 PM. The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by: Stanka Fitneva, Queen's University Date: MONDAY, June 18, 2012, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor In a Sea of People: The Ontogeny of Information Seeking Abstract: Children’s discovery of knowledge through deliberate action is an important aspect of development. By actively and deliberately searching for information, children are able to access information at a moment of cognitive readiness. They are not at the mercy of happenstance and do not depend on adults’ ability to identify their interests and needs. Yet the extent to which children’s deliberate actions contribute to their knowledge depends on children’s ability to efficiently pursue their informational goals. We examine the development of this ability in several directions. How well do children choose between looking for themselves and asking others to obtain information? How sensitive are they to cues that differentiate informants from each other? The results reveal both early roots and extended growth of the ability to selectively allocate attention in several decision domains implicated in information seeking.
