[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: February 15, Wednesday: Nausicaa Pouscoulous (UCL): Pragmatics is child’s play

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series 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.

Re: [Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: February 8, Wednesday: Keith Jensen (The University of Manchester) - The (sometimes) prosocial primate

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Keith Jensen, (University of Manchester) Date: Wednesday, February 8, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Christophe Heintz The (sometimes) prosocial primate That humans cooperate with unrelated individuals on a scale not seen in other species pretty much goes without saying (although it is said a lot). The fact that you will be sitting together with other members of your species just to listen to someone say so is already quite remarkable. However, in addition to cooperating and behaving prosocially in ways that might be fundamentally different to what we see in other species, humans are also remarkably antisocial. We compare ourselves to others, we are averse to inequity to the point of behaving irrationally (at least as far as standard economic models are concerned), we punish noncooperators, we compete spitefully and we take pleasure in them misfortunes of others. The claim that humans are unique in our social behaviour has been challenged on several fronts, with some people suggesting that nonhuman primates (and possibly other animals) help others, share resources, show a sensitivity to unfairness, punish noncooperative behaviour and so on. Here, I will present work on chimpanzees and children that challenges these challenges. In particular, I will look at whether chimpanzees help others, as has sometimes been claimed, and whether they punish uncooperative behaviour. I hope to suggest that a key factor underlying differences in social behaviour between our closest living relatives and humans is motivational, namely other-regarding concerns.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Science Studies Talk by Mathieu Charbonneau (CEU) - February 7th at 17:30 - Materiality and knowledge: Towards an epistemology for the material culture of science

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, You are cordially invited to attend a talk by Mathieu Charbonneau (CEU) entitled: Materiality and knowledge: Towards an epistemology for the material culture of science When? February 7th, 2017 - 17:30 - 19:00 Where? Nador u. 15, Room: 103 https://philosophy.ceu.edu/events/2017-02-07/materiality-and-knowledge-towa… Abstract: Recently, some philosophers of science have argued that epistemology should be extended in order to encompass scientific instruments as material forms of knowledge. One line of argument for this position has consisted in drawing a strong analogy between the traditional concept of knowledge as justified true belief and to argue that what makes the alliance of these three components into proper knowledge can and is satisfied by scientific instruments. Consequently, scientific instruments are not just conductive to scientific knowledge, they are --literally-- scientific knowledge. A materialistic epistemology would then be one that takes seriously the fact that scientific instruments are material objects, the very materiality of which gives them special epistemic properties that traditional epistemology fails to capture. In contrast, I argue that a materialistic epistemology is better served by adopting a naturalistic approach to knowledge production. More specifically, once we adopt the framework of distributed cognition, the materiality of scientific instruments is amenable to an epistemology of its own and leads to interesting novel insights about how scientific knowledge is produced, used, and justified, while avoiding the difficulties of the analogy-based line of argumentation. See you there!

[Koglist] Fwd: TEX2017 on Time in the Brain

by István Winkler

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Domenica Bueti <bueti(a)sissa.it <mailto:bueti@sissa.it>> Date: Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 12:07 PM Subject: [Timing Research Forum] TEX2017 on Time in the Brain To: trf(a)timingforum.org <mailto:trf@timingforum.org> Sender: owner-trf-list(a)timingforum.org <mailto:owner-trf-list@timingforum.org> Precedence: bulk Reply-To: trf-list(a)timingforum.org <mailto:trf-list@timingforum.org> Hello! Can I kindly ask you to advertise the summer school below? Many thanks! Domenica The Trieste Encounters on Cognitive Science (TEX) are a yearly summer initiative by SISSA aiming at bringing together scientists from all over the world at all levels of their careers to enjoy science, but also sunshine, food & wine. This years edition focuses on time in the brain. By looking at tim= e as percept but also as mechanism for perception, TEX 2017 will offer a broad and multifaceted view on the neuroscience of time. To this purpose we gather scientists who are studying time in the brain from different perspectives (e.g. how time shapes our perception, how information is processed over time, how time is perceived or misperceived) and using distinct methodological approaches (from animalelectrophysiology to human neuroimaging, from computational modelling to psychophysics). TEX 2017 is a summer school for PhD students and Post-Docs. The idea is to have classes on fundamentals provided by eight invited speakers who will give talks on the established concepts and body of evidence in their own field but to also have room for students and post-docs talks. You can apply by clicking on the the following link https://indico.sissa.it/event/13/overview <https://indico.sissa.it/event/13/overview> TEX2017 will take place between Monday June 12 and Friday June 16, 2017. It will be held at SISSA main campus, via Bonomea 265, Trieste. Information on how to reach us can be found here http://www.sissa.it/how-reach-us <http://www.sissa.it/how-reach-us>. TEX2017 will feature Marco Cicchini (Pisa), Ayelet Landau (Jerusalem), Stefano Panzeri (Trento), Warrick Roseboom (Sussex), Marshall Shuler (Baltimore), Virginie van Wassenhove (Paris), Hedderik van Rijn (Groningen). We look forward to meeting you in Trieste next summer!
