[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: Giorgio Vallortigara, June 12, 2013, CDC at Hattyúhaz

by Mikolaj Hernik

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. Another talk in the CDC Seminar series will by given this week by: Giorgio Vallortigara Centre for Mind-Brain Sciences, University of Trento Date: WEDNESDAY, June 12, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Core knowledge of object, number and space: A comparative approach Abstract: Studies on the ontogenetic origins of human knowledge provide evidence for a small set of separable systems of core knowledge dealing with the representation of inanimate and animate objects, number and geometry. Because core knowledge systems are evolutionarily ancient, they can be investigated from a comparative perspective, making use of various animal models. In this review, I discuss evidence showing precocious abilities in non-human species to represent (i) objects that move partly or fully out of view, and their basic mechanical properties such as solidity, (ii) the cardinal and ordinal/sequential aspects of numerical cognition and rudimentary arithmetic with small numerousness, and (iii) the geometrical relationships among extended surfaces in the surrounding layout. Controlled rearing studies suggest that the abilities associated with core knowledge systems of objects, number and geometry are observed in animals in the absence (or with very reduced) experience, supporting a nativistic foundation of such cognitive mechanisms. Animal models also promise a fresh approach to the issue of the neurobiological and genetic mechanisms underlying the expression of core knowledge systems.

[koglist] [CDC Seminars] REMINDER: Teodora Gliga, TODAY, June 10, 2013, 5 PM, CDC at Hattyúhaz

by Mikolaj Hernik

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. The next talk in the CDC Seminar series will be given by: Teodora Gliga & The BASIS team Birkbeck, University of London Date: TODAY, June 10, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Typical social orienting and social motivation in infants at-risk for ASD Abstract: Developmental theories of autism can be broadly divided into those that see the social and communication difficulties specific of ASD as emerging from impairments in *understanding* the functions of social interaction (Baron-Cohen, Leslie & Frith, 1985; Gliga et al, 2012) and those that propose they stem from an inability to *orient* to or *attend* to socially relevant information (Dawson et al., 2004; Chevalier at al, 2012). According to the second account diminished early "social" orienting biases, for example, will limit the exposure to social interaction and have cascading effects on learning from and about people. Prospective studies of infants at-risk for ASD (because of having an older sibling with the disorder) offer the ideal testing ground for these hypotheses. I will review emerging findings from BASIS (but also from other groups) investigating the ability to orient to and engage with a variety of "social" stimuli, during the first year of life. In brief, there is little evidence for difficulties with orienting to faces, eyes or human actions or for decreased motivation to attend to social interaction, in infants that later developed symptoms of ASD. "Disinterest" in social interaction emerges later in the second year of life and maybe therefore secondary to difficulties with processing (social) information. * The BASIS Team in alphabetical order: R.

[koglist] Fwd: meghívó Prof Dennis Levi előadására - BME jún. 20.

by Balázs Knakker

Minden érdeklődőt szeretettel várunk az alábbi előadásra: *Időpont:* Csütörtök, június. 20. 13h *Helyszín:* Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdasági Egyetem, Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék (1111, Egry József utca 1) 515 terem *Prof. Dennis Levi, O.D., Ph.D.* Dean School of Optometry University of California Berkeley, CA, USA http://levilab.berkeley.edu/personnel/dlevi.html *REMOVING THE BRAKES ON BRAIN PLASTICITY IN ADULTS WITH AMBLYOPIA* Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function. Beyond this sensitive period, developmental plasticity is actively limited; however, new studies provide growing evidence for plasticity in the adult visual system. The amblyopic visual system is an excellent model for examining the "brakes" that limit recovery of function beyond the critical period. While amblyopia can often be reversed when treated early, conventional treatment is generally not undertaken in older children and adults. However new clinical and experimental studies in both animals and humans provide evidence for neural plasticity beyond the critical period. The results suggest that perceptual learning and video game play may be effective in improving a range of visual performance measures and importantly the improvements may transfer to better visual acuity and stereopsis. These findings, along with the results of new clinical trials, suggest that it might be time to re-consider our notions about neural plasticity in amblyopia.
