The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its
talk by
Andrew Whiten (University of St Andrews)
Date: Wednesday, January 6, 2016 -
17:00-18:30
Location:
Department of
Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.
Title: Conformity, Non-conformity and Over-imitation in Cultural Cognition: Comparative and Developmental Studies
Abstract: In this talk I review
studies by my own group and by others that grapple with two topics that I
suggest should be linked: over-imitation
and conformity. These have developed
separate research literatures that hardly refer to each other, but I propose
that they should, because in both of them social learning from others
over-rides personal information, a powerful cultural phenomenon. In over-imitation, that we first identified
a decade ago, a child faithfully copies even those acts of another that appear
manifestly ineffectual. A minor research industry on the topic has since
developed, identifying over-imitation across a growing number of cultures and
surprisingly diverse age ranges. Conformity
in its most intense form involves abandoning personal preferences in favour of
the alternatives information of behaviours of a majority of others, but is
manifested in other ways too. Whereas there is evidence suggesting that
over-imitation is special to humans, conformity may be more widespread among
species. I review examples from both developmental and comparative studies to
construct conceptual schemes in which the nature and scope of both
over-imitation and conformity can be situated.

A műsor kezdéséig még 4 nap 2 óra 5 perc van hátra.
Bábel - Hesnával a világ
Egy társadalmi kísérlet kulisszái mögött
Magyar ismeretterjesztő magazin (2015) (55')
Vajon hogyan hat ránk és a véleményünkre a társadalom, a minket körülvevő
emberek? Mennyire engedünk a csoportnyomásnak, mennyire merjük felvállalni a
véleményünket, ha az merőben más a többiekétől? A Bábel legújabb epizódjában
ezúttal nem csupán bemutat egy ezekre a kérdésekre válaszokat kereső, már
elvégzett kísérletet, hanem a műsor stábja maga is reprodukál egyet.
Szakemberek és laikusok közreműködésével elvégzi az egyik leghíresebb
szociálpszichológiai kísérletet, az Asch-kísérletet, bepillantást adva abba
is, hogy milyen összetevői, kihívásai vannak egy társadalmi kísérlet
megszervezésének a színfalak mögött.

Dear Cognitive Folks,
The last Fluencia Party in 2015 will be on 18th December (Friday) starting

of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment.
Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not
