[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] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: Michael Ramscar, Tomoreow, THURSDAY, September 19, 5PM CDC at Hattyúhaz

by Gergely Csibra

Michael Ramscar (Tübingen University) Date: Note that exceptionally the talk will take place on THURSDAY, September 19, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Nonlinear dynamics of lifelong learning As adults age, their reaction times slow across a range of psychometric tests. This has been widely taken to show that cognitive information-processing capacities decline over the course of adulthood. I will show that these response patterns, which are typically taken as evidence for (and measures of) declining cognitive-processing capacities, arise naturally out of basic principles of learning. These basic, formal learning principles both correctly identify the pattern of performance exhibited by very young children in word learning tasks (which can differ greatly from that of young adults) as well successfully predicting that older adults will exhibit far greater sensitivity to fine-grained properties of test stimuli than younger adults. Taken together, the findings I present show that the patterns of change observed in cognitive performance across the lifespan simply reflect the consequences of learning from the kind of statistical distributions that typify human experience. Once the information-processing loads are inevitably imposed by learning from this experience are controlled for, it appears that the performance changes that are usual taken as evidence of innate abilities in infants, or declining cognitive capacities in older adults, support little more than the unsurprising idea that the way individuals choose between or recalls items will be affected by the number of items there are and what an individual has already learned about them. I will consider the implications of this for our scientific and cultural understanding of lifelong cognitive development. 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.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`Respect and Objectivity`- 1 October, 5.30 PM and brown bag lunch on 2 October from 12.40 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Carla Bagnoli (University of Modena and Reggio) on `Respect and Objectivity` Tuesday, 1 October, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT This paper addresses the issue of ethical objectivity and argues that the emotion of respect plays a crucial role in an objectivist account of practical cognition. This argument is part of a constructivist yet cognitivist defense of ethical objectivity. ****************************************** In addition to her departmental colloquium talk on Tuesday, October 1, there will be a Brown Bag lunch with Carla Bagnoli (Philosophy, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia) Wednesday October 2, 12:40- 13:30, Faculty Tower room 208 All Philosophy students and faculty are welcome. Participants need only bring themselves and lunch in a (brown) bag, if they'd like! The discussion at the brown bag lunch deals with the role of parity as a constraint in collective deliberation. For more information on Carla’s work, see: http://unimore.academia.edu/CarlaBagnoli http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/philosophy/ethics/constructiv…

[koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] ANNOUNCEMENT: Coralie Chevallier, Wednesday, September 25, 5PM CDC at Hattyúhaz

by olivier mascaro

Dear all, The next talk in our seminar series will by given by: Coralie Chevallier (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris) Date: Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Social motivation and social cognition in autism: what are the links? Autism Spectrum Disorders are characterized by pervasive social deficits. The idea that impaired Theory of Mind is a primary cause behind these impairments has had a profound impact on the field and remains one of the most prominent accounts of the condition. In this talk, I will sketch out an alternative framework based on the idea that social motivation is a driving force guiding human behaviour and that disruption of these motivational mechanisms is a core deficit in autism. In this framework, deficits in social interest are construed as a consequence, rather than a cause, of impairments in social cognition. 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.
