[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

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. In my talk I will discuss vocal production mechanisms and the function of infrasonic vocalizations and will further focus on the vocal learning ability of elephants, it’s neural bases and potential adaptive context.

The successful candidate has a background in cognitive science or philosophy and works on problems from the psychology of reasoning, judgment or decision-making. She or he will be part of a team of philosophers and psychologists led by Ulrike Hahn (Birkbeck and MCMP) and Stephan Hartmann (MCMP). The fellowship is sponsored by Ulrike Hahn?s Anneliese Maier Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The fellowship is open for candidates with a masters degree in philosophy or psychology. The stipend is for three years, and it should be taken up by October 1, 2015, but a later starting date is also possible. (Please let us know if you wish to start at a later date.) The stipend will amount to EUR 1500 of monthly salary (normally tax-free, but excluding insurance). Additionally, the MCMP helps its fellows with the costs that arise from attending conferences (fees, traveling, accommodation). Applications (including a cover letter that addresses, amongst others, one's academic background and research interests, a CV, a list of publications, a list of taught courses, a sample of written work of no more than 5000 words, and a description of a planned research project of 1000-1500 words) should be sent by email (ideally everything requested in one PDF document) to office.hartmann(a)lrz.uni <mailto:office.hartmann@lrz.uni>-muenchen.de <http://muenchen.de/> by April 22, 2015. Hard copy applications are not accepted. Additionally, one confidential letter of reference addressing the applicant's qualifications for academic research should be sent to the same address from the referee directly. The MCMP hosts a vibrant research community of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral fellows, master students, and visiting fellows. It organizes at least two weekly colloquia and a weekly internal work in-progress seminar, as well as various other activities such as workshops, conferences, summer schools, and reading groups. Several of our research projects are conducted in collaboration with scientists. The successful candidate will partake in all of MCMP's academic activities and enjoy its administrative facilities and financial support. The official language at the MCMP is English and fluency in German is not mandatory. We especially encourage female scholars to apply. The LMU in general, and the MCMP in particular, endeavor to raise the percentage of women among its academic personnel. Furthermore, given equal qualification, preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.

[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] Any future for logic?

by Universal Logic

Call for Papers The Future Logic - Contest at the 5th World Congress on Universal Logic - Istanbul, June 2015 http://www.uni-log.org/future-of-logic Deadline extension: May 4, 2015 Modern logic (starting with George Boole at the mid of the XIX century) changed the world: it led to new understanding of reasoning, language, mathematics. It gave new directions in philosophy and gave birth to computation. After 150 years we may wonder what is the future of so successful a science, nowadays much of the time in the shadow of its multifaceted offsprings This contest wants to promote a reflexion on what can be the future of logic considering its 150-years history. Here are a few questions: 1) Will or can logic give a better understanding to sciences / fields such as physics, biology, economics, music, information? 2) How will evolve the internal life of logic, its objectives and tools? 3) How will develop the interactions between logic and philosophy, logic and mathematics, logic and computation? To take part to the contest submit a paper of 10 to 15 pages by May 4, 2015 to: unilog.contest2015(a)gmail.com The best papers will be selected for presentation in a special session during the event and a jury will decide during the event who are the winners: gold, silver and bronze medals. Members of the Jury are Patrick Blackburn, Walter Carnielli (president) and John Corcoran. The prize is offered by Birkhäuser Science Basel, Switzerland.
