[Koglist] Kognitív Szeminárium: Illés Orsolya - Az ABA/VB (Applied Behavior Analysis/Verbal Behavior) program korszerű alkalmazása autizmus spektrum zavarral élő gyermekek fejlesztésében

by Petia Kojouharova

Szeretettel hívunk meg minden érdeklődőt a Kognitív Szeminárium következő előadására, amelyet Illés Orsolya, a GAPS alapítvány elnöke, adja elő: *Az ABA/VB (Applied Behavior Analysis/Verbal Behavior) program korszerű alkalmazása autizmus spektrum zavarral élő gyermekek fejlesztésében* 2014. november 14., 14:00, Izabella utca 46, P3-as terem Összefoglaló: Az ABA/VB ma Észak-Amerikában és Nyugat-Európában is a szülők által leghatékonyabbnak tartott, legnagyobb kutatási háttérrel rendelkező és tudományosan legtöbbször igazolt terápiának számít az autista tüneteket mutató, fejlődésükben emiatt korcsoportjuktól elmaradó gyermekek fejlesztésében. Ennek ellenére itthon még kevéssé ismert, gyakran hibásan kerül alkalmazásra, és rengeteg tévhit és előítélet övezi. Az előadás célja az ABA/VB alapelveinek, módszertanának és korszerű alkalmazásának bemutatása, ezzel remélhetőleg hozzájárulva a tévhitek eloszlatásához.

[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: Federico Rossano (MPI Leipzig), Wednesday, November 26, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science

by Dora Kampis

Dear All, This is a reminder that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will be given by: Federico Rossano (MPI Leipzig): Date: Wednesday, November 26, 2014, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: From social attention to social expectations: a developmental and comparative perspective In this talk I will report on a series of studies focusing on the development of social expectations and social accountability through ontogeny and phylogeny. In particular, I will investigate the interplay between social attention, social expectations and cooperation. First I will report on studies on joint attention and voice following in human infants, chimpanzees and dogs. Then I will report on the emergence of social norms in young children, in particular in relation to the social institution of property. Here I will present a series of studies investigating the ontogeny, phylogeny and cross-cultural variation of property norms and concepts, highlighting the role that communication and cooperation play in the sustainability of property as a social agreement. I will then show how preschoolers have a clear sense of procedural justice and hold their peers accountable in terms of the procedure used to allocate resources. Finally, following up on the topic of cooperation and resources allocation, I will present a series of studies on cooperation in orangutans, assessing what factors facilitate or inhibit collaboration, whether their underlying motivation is self- or other-regarding and ultimately, to what degree orangutans develop specific social expectations concerning how others will behave in situations in which both cooperation and selfish defection are possible. 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 1st edition was in Montreux, Switzerland (2005), the 2nd in Xi'an, China (2007), the 3rd in Lisbon, Portugal (2010), the 4th in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2013). The 5th edition will happen in Istanbul in 2015.

As in previous editions there will also be a contest (for this edition: The Future of Logic) and a secret speaker (a speaker whose identity is revealed only at the time of her/his/its talk). The tutorials of UNILOG'2015 will provide a serious background for a general knowledge of the logical universe They are divided into three categories: 1) History of Logic: the logic of Aristotle, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, etc. 2) Logic and XXX: Logic and Music, Logic an Colours, Logic and Nonsense, Logic and Information, Logic and the Theory of Relativity, etc 3) Theorems: Compactness theorem, Completeness theorem, Lindström theorem, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, etc (these theorems will be presented in a universal perspective, i.e. examining what are the general vs particular features) During the congress there will be an amazing variety of workshops - The Idea of Logic: Historical Perspectives - Representation and reality: humans, animals and machines - Philosophy of non-classical logics - Computational Creativity, Concept Invention and General Intelligence - C3GI - Connexive Logics - Logic and the Web etc. The event is organized in combination with the 10th Panhellenic Logic Symposium https://samosweb.aegean.gr/pls10/ that will happen in Samos Island, Greece (the island where Pythagoras was born), June 11-15, 2015. A travel by bus from the nearby port of Kusadasi in Turkey up to Istanbul will be organized with stops on famous historical sites: Ephesus, Troy, etc. Special arrangements will exist for participants who wish to attend both conferences. UNILOG'2015 is sponsored by the Association of Symbolic Logic This means that students can apply for a grant to come: http://www.aslonline.org/studenttravelawards.html
