[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Collouium: December 2, Gustaf Gredebäck (Uppsala Child and Baby Lab)

by Frances Buttelmann

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by Gustaf Gredebäck (Uppsala Child and Baby Lab) Date: Wednesday, December 2, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 The microstructure of infants social perception Abstract: I will discuss the mechanisms behind action prediction and social perception in infancy. The aim is to demonstrate that multiple mechanisms (in particular statistical learning and motor simulation) guide our ability to make sense of others. The speed with which a new social perception skill is learned depend heavily on the exact task at hand (covert shifts of attention/action prediction/action evaluation) and the amount of time available for a particular process (few hundred milliseconds or several seconds). Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. We are looking forward to see you there!

[Koglist] Correction: ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Olivier Mascaro - The Power and Limits of Young Humans’ Smart Trust

by Petia Kojouharova

Dear All, The invitation for Olivier Mascaro's talk at our Cognitive Seminar was sent out with the wrong abstract. Please find the corrected invitation below. I apologize for the mistake, and for the inconvenience it might have caused. Best regards, Petia Kojouharova *Olivier Mascaro (Central European University (Budapest), Cognitive Development Center)* *The Power and Limits of Young Humans’ Smart Trust* Place: ELTE-PPK, Institute of Psychology, Izabella utca 46, Révész Géza room (room 301) Time: December 3rd, 2015 (Thursday), 11:00 Abstract: Humans have some faith in what is communicated to them, even when their informants are complete strangers, who could be mistaken or lying. Where does this trust come from? Although this question was raised more than two centuries ago (e.g. Hume, 1748; Reid, 1764), it remains largely unanswered, in great part because of a lack of appropriate empirical evidence. This presentation targets directly this question by investigating the development of trust in testimony during late infancy, toddlerhood and childhood. I will present evidence suggesting that from 15 months of age, infants’ trust in communication is both strong and smart. It is strong enough to make infants disbelieve what they directly perceived. It is smart enough to include conceptually rich expectations about communicated information, that roughly map onto two classic philosophical definitions of truth: correspondence and coherence theories (e.g. Descartes, 1639; Davidson, 1986). Against the widespread view that young humans become more skeptical as they grow up, I will provide evidence suggesting that infants’ disposition to be trusting increases during the toddler years. Improved communicative abilities and additional opportunities to learn from others could support this developmental stage of heightened trust in communicated information, the “Trusting Twos”. Young human’s disposition to frame communication as an exchange of reliable information supports cultural transmission and learning at large. Yet, I will argue that it also explains young children’s difficulties in lying and in being vigilant towards deception. To some extent, it may also contribute to children’s difficulties in interpreting games and stories involving deceivers and dupes, such as standard false belief tasks.

[Koglist] ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Olivier Mascaro - The Power and Limits of Young Humans’ Smart Trust

by Petia Kojouharova

Dear All, In connection with the event below - please note that an electronic entrance system has been implemented in the building of the Institute of Psychology. You can obtain a visitor's card with which to enter the building at the entrance from reception. Best regards, Petia Kojouharova Dear All, We would like to invite you to the next event from the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series: *Olivier Mascaro (Central European University (Budapest), Cognitive Development Center)* *The Power and Limits of Young Humans’ Smart Trust* Place: ELTE-PPK, Institute of Psychology, Izabella utca 46, Révész Géza room (room 301) Time: December 3rd, 2015 (Thursday), 11:00 Abstract: When trying to make sense of other people's behaviour we usually invoke their mental states, such as their intentions, beliefs or emotions; an ability usually referred to by the umbrella term "Theory of Mind". In my talk, I will show the important role that neuropsychology plays in unravelling the cognitive and neural basis of Theory of Mind. I will illustrate this by showing how cases of adults with acquired brain lesions can help us tease apart the different mechanisms that underlie mind reading abilities and can help us understand the nature of these mechanisms. In the first part of the talk, I will report cases of patients who suffer a selective deficit in self-perspective inhibition and show that their deficit cannot be explained by general cognitive control difficulties. In the second part of the talk, I will report cases of patients who suffer a selective deficit in tracking spontaneously other people's beliefs and will discuss these findings in relation to the current debate about the automaticity of belief processing.
