[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: May 6, Wednesday: Daniel Richardson (UCL) - Exploring the group mind through mass participation experiments

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Daniel C. Richardson (Department of Experimental Psychology, University College London) Date: Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Exploring the group mind through mass participation experiments Daniel C. Richardson Department of Experimental Psychology University College London During this talk, I will present emerging results and allow audience member to take part in a new experimental paradigm: mass participation games. In our experiments, hundreds of people can play a computer game simultaneously using their smart phones or tablets. We can collect responses from a lecture hall full of people with the precision of a laboratory cubicle. Audience members will explore the behaviour and decision making of groups. Together they will play video games, resolve disagreements and take difficult decisions. Our eventual goal is to address a range of theoretical questions with experimental manipulations and computer modelling. Do participants play as if they were alone, or as a group? If so, do they represent the group as a single entity, or a collection of other agents? What are the dynamics of these behaviours, with learning across many trials? Lastly, what does it feel like to act in concert, or in competition, with a room full of people? - See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2015-05-06/departmental-colloquium-d… Exploring the group mind through mass participation experiments� Daniel C.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] ANNOUNCEMENT: Riccardo Fusaroli (Aarhus University), Wednesday April 29, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science [NEW Venue from March 2015!]

by Dora Kampis

Dear All, The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Riccardo Fusaroli (Aarhus University) Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 5 PM NEW Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101. Title: What does it take to collaborate? The role of heart, words and skills in interpersonal synergies What does it take to collaborate? In this talk I will cover three empirical studies investigating interpersonal coordinative dynamics at very diverse levels, all inspired by the model of interpersonal synergies. In the first study I will discuss the role of heart rate entrainment in group collaborations and the mechanisms supporting it. In the second study, the role of linguistic alignment in a joint decision task. Finally, I will cover cognitive diversity in a collaborative Scrabble-like task. 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] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: April 22, Wednesday: Ralph Hertwig (MPI Berlin) -Simple heuristics in a social world

by Gyorgyne Finta

Coorrection: one unnecessary sentence on elephants deleted, I am sorry for resending! Reka On 21 Apr 2015, at 9:10 am, Gyorgyne Finta <Szabor(a)ceu.edu> wrote: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Ralph Hertwig (Center for Adaptive Rationality; Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin) Date: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Simple heuristics in a social world The social world is a terrain where humans and other animals compete with conspecifics for myriad resources, including food, mates, and status, and where rivals grant the decision maker little time for deep thought, protracted information search, or complex calculations. Yet the social world also encompasses domains where social animals such as humans can learn from and forge alliances with one another to boost their chances of success. According to the talk’s thesis, the undeniable complexity of the social world does not dictate cognitive complexity as many scholars of rationality argue. Rather, it renders optimization impossible or computationally arduous through intractability, the existence of incommensurable considerations, and competing goals. With optimization beyond reach, less can be more. That is, heuristics—simple strategies for making decisions when time is pressing and careful deliberation an unaffordable luxury—become indispensible mental tools of social rationality. The Homo Socialis may prove to be a Homo Heuristicus whose intelligence reflects ecological rather than logical rationality. Drawing from different domains such as parental investment, strategic games, and medical decision-making, I will discuss how social heuristics can make us smart and also point out some of their limitations.
