[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CogSci CEU Colloquium: January 25, Stephen Butterfill (University of Warwick)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Stephen Butterfill<http://www.butterfill.com/> (University of Warwick, Department of Philosophy). Date: Wednesday, January 25, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 The Developmental Origins of Knowledge of Objects: The Systems and Their Signature Limits What is the nature of infants' earliest abilities to track briefly unperceived physical objects? And how, over the course of development, do infants get from these early forms of cognition to knowledge of simple facts about particular physical objects? The leading, best supported conjecture is that infants' core knowledge of objects consists in a system of object indexes (Leslie et al. 1998; Scholl and Leslie 1999; Carey and Xu 2001; Scholl 2007). Accepting this conjecture confronts us with two challenges. The first is to explain a pattern of discrepancies involving multiple measures (violation-of-expectations vs manual search, for instance) and multiple types of disappearance (occlusion vs endarkening). The second challenge concerns the interface between core knowledge and thought. Object indexes have only limited, indirect influences on thought and action. How then could their operations explain the findings of violation-of-expectation experiments? And how could they play a role in explaining the emergence, in development, of knowledge of physical objects? This talk introduces the challenges and proposes a novel, two-part response. We should recognise that infants, like adults, sometimes represent objects motorically. Core knowledge is not one thing but a composite of two things that are, to an interesting degree, independent of each other: object indexes and motor representations. Further, object indexes can give rise to metacognitive feelings. The developmental transition from core knowledge of objects to knowledge proper may have such a protracted developmental course because only metacognitive feelings connect core knowledge to knowledge proper. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] KPI Friday Talk

by Takács Endre

Dear All, The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA-TTK-KPI) invites you to its next talk by *Kristóf Kovács*, Eszterházy Károly Egyetem Date: Friday, January 20. 2017. 14:00-15:30 Location: MTA-TTK-KPI, Magyar tudósok körútja 2., room D4.09C Title: Process Overlap Theory: A new model of the general factor of intelligence Abstract: One of the most replicated results in psychology is that people who perform better on one kind of mental ability test tend to perform better on other kinds of tests as well. This result is called the positive manifold, and is usually described with a general factor, psychometric g. g, in turn, is usually identified with ‘psychological g’: a domain-general, within-individual cognitive mechanism, usually called 'general intelligence' or 'general cognitive ability’. This interpretation of g, however, does not sit well with a number of phenomena in cognitive psychology and neuroscience: double dissociations, localization data, and patterns of sex differences all contradict the existence of a general cognitive ability. Moreover, despite more than a century of research, there is still no consensus about the nature of psychological g. That is, no unitary biological or psychological origin of psychometric g has been found, and all possible candidates (e.g. brain size, speed of information processing, etc.) have been found insufficient. An alternative explanation, process overlap theory, is proposed, which is based on a cognitive theory of overlapping item response processes. The theory draws heavily on the empirical finding that the positive manifold is not confined to covariance matrices of the intelligence literature: it is also commonly observed when a battery of working memory tasks is administered to a large group of subjects. As a result, a general factor of working memory capacity can also be extracted, despite working memory being a multi-component system. Process overlap theory assumes that any item or task requires a number of domain-specific as well as domain-general cognitive processes and their corresponding neural mechanisms. Domain-general processes involved in executive attention, and mainly tapping the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, are activated by a large number of test items, alongside with domain-specific processes tapped by specific types of tests only. Such an overlap of executive processes explains the positive manifold as well as the hierarchical structure of cognitive abilities. The theory also accounts for a number of other, previously unexplained phenomena in differential psychology, such as the central role of fluid inductive reasoning in cognitive abilities or the higher across-domain variance in low ability groups (differentiation). Since process overlap theory provides an explanation of psychometric g in terms of multiple item response processes, it can be translated to a multidimensional item response model, thus abridging psychometrics and cognitive psychology. The theory also re-interprets the concept of 'IQ' as an index variable, representing different abilities, rather than as the reflection of a unitary 'intelligence'.
