[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] [CEU Cogsci Talks] ANNOUNCEMENT: Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast), Wednesday March 4, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science

by Dora Kampis

Dear All, The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast) Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2015, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: The development of regret in young children Regret plays an important role in our mental lives and impacts on our decision-making. However, developmental psychologists have only recently begun to conduct research to establish when regret first emerges. I will describe this recent experimental work, which has attempted to pin-point the age at which children first experience regret. I will also discuss our experimental studies that demonstrate that children’s decision-making improves when they start to experience regret, including a description of preliminary evidence that indicates that the ability to experience regret helps children learn to delay gratification. I will finish by discussing our most recent work that has examined the development of regret in the context of prosocial decision-making. 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.

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on` Libet’s Confusions` by Hanoch Ben-Yami - Tuesday, 3 March 2015, 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 Hanoch Ben-Yami (CEU) on Libet’s Confusions Tuesday, 3 March 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT I try to demonstrate a possible contribution of philosophy to the sciences by exposing conceptual confusions in Libet’s empirical work on free will. The elimination of these confusions show that his research failed to establish what he claimed it does. Libet measured patterns of electric potential in subjects’ brain while asking them to report when they became conscious of an urge or decision to perform a certain action. Relying on the results he concluded that the urge or decision does not affect action, and hence that we have no free will. However, his research relies on a false picture of what free action involves. Libet thought that free action should be caused by a mental event – an urge or decision – which is the cause of action. But this mechanical picture of the mental is not entailed from our criteria for classifying an action as voluntary, free, intentional and so on. An action is free if the agent would have done something else in the same circumstances had he been given a good reason for that, if he knew what he was doing, if he didn’t act under duress, and so on. Accordingly, Libet’s experiment was irrelevant to the question, whether the subjects acted out of their free will. And moreover, of course they acted freely: had they had a good reason to act earlier or later, say, they would have done so.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: February 25, Wednesday: Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU PHIL) - The Issue about Dispositions

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk of 2015 (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU Department of Philosophy) Date: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 The Issue about Dispositions Most of us think that some objects are fragile, some chemicals are poisonous, and some people are honest. But philosophers, or at least some of them, find such claims puzzling. The reason why they find them puzzling is that being fragile, being poisonous, and being honest are dispositional predicates. In this talk I shall tell a story about why many philosophers from the early 20th century on have found the ascription of dispositions puzzling, and how some have attempted to resolve that puzzle. I shall also briefly indicate which significance, if any, such debates might have to empirical research concerning the micro-foundation of macroscopic behavior. - See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2015-02-25/departmental-colloquium-f… We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
