Further, I make the case that language has its roots in intentional iconicity of Australopithecines and probably had reached the level of a G1 grammar (linear ordering of symbols + gestures & pitch modulation, or triality of patterning) more than one million years ago. Other forms of language, e.g. hierarchical, recursive grammars, are later embellishments that are functionally useful (Simon 1962) yet are neither necessary nor sufficient to have human language. This talk considers the evolution of culture among early hominins and how gap between indexes and icons to symbols might have been bridged.I argue that Homo erectus is the inventor of language via symbols and discuss how symbols could have led to what I refer to as triality of patterning, the hallmark of all human languages, found in no other species we are aware of currently. The central claim is that the "Semiotic Progression" (indexes -> icons -> symbols -> triality) predicted implicitly by C.S. Peirce offers the best model the appearance of language in the genus Homo.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER -- today -- CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: Alan P. Fiske, UCLA - Kama Muta

by Barbara Pomiechowska

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its today's talk by Prof. *Alan P. Fiske* (UCLA, US) [web <http://www.anthro.ucla.edu/faculty/alan-page-fiske> <http:/>]. *Title:* Kama Muta*:* The Tears-of-Joy, Goosebumps, Heart-Warming Emotion of Holding Your Newborn Baby, Feeling Divine Love, Patriotic Devotion, Social Support, and Pixar Movies *Date*: Wednesday, 14 September 2016 *Time:* 17:00-18:30 *Location*: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 *Abstract:* Abrupt changes in social motives are experienced as emotions. In particular, sudden intensification of a communal sharing (CS) relationship is felt as an emotion we call “kama muta” (Sanskrit ‘moved by love’). Vernacular approximations include *being moved, touched, heart-warming, rapture, megérintett*, and *megérint* – although none of these exactly correspond to the psychological phenomenon. People may experience kama muta (KM) when their own CS relationships suddenly intensify, or when they observe others’ CS relationships suddenly intensify. For example, people often feel KM when seeing the first ultrasound of their baby, when the baby is born, in reunions, when receiving a great kindness,at patriotic and memorial ceremonies, when feeling a deity’s love, watching Pixar movies, or when seeing someone else experience KM. When KM is intense, people typically cry, get goosebumps, have a warm or other feeling in the center of the chest, or get choked up. They may take a deep breath or say *awww.* KM is a very positive experience that people seek out and eagerly share with other CS partners. Consequently, a great many institutions, practices, narratives, and artifacts have culturally evolved to evoke KM; they are prominent in a great many diverse cultures across history. KM is easy to evoke in the lab. One set of participants’ averaged moment-to-moment judgments of the *closeness* of characters in a video predict with astounding precision four other sets of participants’ averaged moment-to-moment self-reports of, respectively, *being moved* or *touched,* tears, warm feelings in the chest, and goosebumps. We are looking forward to seeing you.

[Koglist] Reminder: ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Tom Verguts - Grounding cognitive control in associative learning

by Petia Kojouharova

Dear All, We would like to invite you to the next event from the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series: *Tom Verguts* *Grounding cognitive control in associative learning* Place: ELTE-PPK, Institute of Psychology, Izabella utca 46, room P3 Time: September 15th, 2016 (Thursday), 10:30-12:00 Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1234333133301257/ *Abstract* Traditionally, cognitive control and associative learning have been studied in different research traditions. In the cognitive control tradition, cognitive control is considered to go beyond, or be independent from, associative learning (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974; Bugg & Crump, 2012). However, recent models of cognitive control that have tried to pinpoint its computational and neural basis have, ironically, found associative learning to be an excellent basis for implementing cognitive control (Abrahamse, Braem, Notebaert, & Verguts, 2016; O’Reilly & Frank, 2006). I will describe some of these models (Verguts & Notebaert, 2008; Verguts, Vassena, & Silvetti, 2015), and how they inform both behavioral and neural data. Behaviorally, a major emerging theme is choosing to invest effort in a task (or not); neurally, a major emerging theme is the role of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in relation to subcortical (dopamine, noradrenaline) structures. ----------------- References Abrahamse, E.
