[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`All Roads Lead to Understanding`by David Weberman - Tuesday, 8 December, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by David Weberman (CEU) on All Roads Lead to Understanding Tuesday, 8 December 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Understanding is a concept largely absent from contemporary epistemology in which propositional knowledge reigns supreme. I argue that we should move understanding to center stage. I identify three different paths to understanding. I begin with some recent analytic discussions of the value of knowledge and our epistemic goals to show how understanding has crept up there. I then move to recent debates concerning know-how. Surprisingly, one finds an appeal to understanding in certain versions on both sides of the know-how debate, i.e. in both intellectualists and anti-intellectualists. I’m particularly interested in what’s been called “radical anti-intellectualism” (Stephen Hetherington) where understanding is put forth not in name, but in substance. I push Hetherington’s position on know-how in a certain direction that takes it close to a Heideggerian conception of understanding – a conception which is more deeply practical than the others. I’ll indicate at the end some implications of deep practicalism for epistemology.

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

by 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: 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. Host: dr.

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

by Frances Buttelmann

Dear all, This is a reminder for our next talk tomorrow. ---------- 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!
