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) !

Dear all,
The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by:
*Daniel Haun **(Department of Developmental Psychology, University of
Jena).*
Date: Wednesday, May 7, 2014, 5 PM
Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor
*Title:* Carving human nature at its joints:
Comparative and cross-cultural studies of social behaviour
Humans differ across cultures. Already from an early age, children
internalize the rules and regularities displayed by the people around them,
creating cultural variation in perception, cognition, motivation or norms.
Children from different cultures vary, for example, in their perception of
visual illusions, their memory for spatial layouts and in their strategies
of resource distribution.
However, humans are not the only ape that displays cultural
variation. Chimpanzee populations, for example, systematically vary in
their behavioral preferences and social tolerance and even show
group-specific variation in seemingly non-functional traditions.
Nevertheless, despite such evidence for population-level variation in other
animals, human’s vary in a wider repertoire of behaviors of which a larger
proportion is socially acquired. Hence we might ask the question: what are
the species-typical psychological mechanisms that create, structure and
maintain uniquely human cultural variability.
In this talk I will present evidence from a research program that combines
cross-cultural, comparative and developmental studies to track variation
and constancy across populations of humans and chimpanzees as well as to
understand the developmental dynamics of a set of psychological mechanisms
that, I will propose, promote uniquely human cultural diversity.
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.
