The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its
today's talk by:
*Kiley Hamlin (University of British Columbia)*
*Date: *Wednesday, February 22, 2016 – 17:00-18:30
*Host:* Gergely Csibra
*The infantile origins of human moral judgment: studies with preverbal
infants and toddlers*
How do humans come to have a “moral sense”? Are adults’ conceptions of
which actions are right and which are wrong, of who is good and who is bad,
who deserves praise and who deserves blame wholly the result of experiences
like observing and interacting with others in one’s cultural environment
and explicit teaching from parents, teachers, and religious leaders? Do all
of the complexities in adult’s moral judgments reflect hard-won
developmental change coupled with the emergence of advanced reasoning
skills? This talk will explore evidence that, on the contrary, infants’ and
toddlers’ social behaviors and social preferences map surprisingly well
onto adults’ moral ones. Within the first year of life, infants prefer
those who help versus harm third parties, those who reward prosocial
individuals and punish wrongdoers, and even focus on the intentions that
drive others’ actions rather than the outcomes that result from them. In
the second year of life, toddlers are motivated to engage in both prosocial
and antisocial behaviors toward third parties; these behaviors are informed
by those third parties’ past prosocial and antisocial acts. Finally, male
infants' performance on infant and toddler tasks predicts parent-reported
social and moral functioning in preschool. These results suggest that the
human moral sense is supported, at least in part, by extremely
early-developing mechanisms for social evaluation and action.

by
Nausicaa Pouscoulous, UCL
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2016 – 17:00-18:30
Host: Christophe Heintz
Pragmatics is child’s play
Recent developmental research on social cognition indicates that pragmatics play a grounding role in the development of children's communicative skills even before they utter their first words. Much evidence in language acquisition also suggests that young children could not learn to speak without impressive pragmatic abilities. In stark contrast with this picture, linguistic pragmatic inferences (e.g., reference assignment, implicatures, metaphors, presuppositions and irony) appear to develop later than other linguistic abilities.
Pragmatic inferences, such as those involved in understanding implicit and non-literal meaning, require the ability to recognise communicative intentions, as well as to take into account common ground (or mutual knowledge). Empirical findings suggest that prelinguistic children already master these skills. Words and syntax, it seems, are all there is left to learn for children to become perfect little ‘Gricean’ comprehenders. What, then, makes linguistic pragmatic phenomena so difficult to grasp for preschoolers?
This talk tries to reconcile the development of pre-linguistic and linguistic pragmatic abilities by presenting data on three phenomena: scalar implicatures, presupposition and metaphor. I will discuss evidence showing these phenomena might be understood much earlier than prior results suggest, and that several factors – independently of children’s pragmatic abilities per se – may explain children’s apparent struggle with pragmatic inferences.
