[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: September 13, Wednesday: Manfred Bierwisch (Humboldt Universität) - Language and music similarities and differences

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Manfred Bierwisch (Humboldt Universität) Date: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - 15:30 - 17:00 (please note the unusual timing!!!!) Host: Csaba Pléh Language and Music - Types of Signs and their Consequences Language and Music share acoustic signals and interesting aspects of structure, but for essentially different reasons and with crucially different consequences. Given Peirce's distinction of indexical, iconic, and symbolic signs, Language is essentially based on combinatorial symbols, while Music consists in the iconic combination of sounds, with fundamental different consequences for their respective combinatorial structure. Of particular interest is the integration of the principles of both types of signs in singing, as will be illustrated in a characteristic example. Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: Invitation to the Doctoral Defense of Denis Tatone, Department of Cognitive Science, on September 5th, 2017

by Gyorgyne Finta

The Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the public defense of the PhD thesis The naïve sociology of resource transfer An investigation of the inferential links between sharing behaviors and relational models in human infants by Denis Tatone Primary supervisor: Gergely Csibra Secondary supervisor: Dan Sperber Members of the Dissertation Committee: József Fiser, Chair, CEU Valerie Kuhlmeier, external examiner, Queens University Luca Surian, external examiner, University of Trento abstract | The ubiquitous occurrence of active transfer (giving) in the domain of nonkin interactions represents one of the most distinguishing features of the human sharing complex, and a striking departure from the sharing behavior of non-human primates, where giving occurs rarely and only in the presence of dependent offspring. The re-deployment of giving outside of parental-care contexts, we surmise, reflects human-unique selective pressures for the formation of cooperative partnerships to smooth the risks of high-variance foraging via reciprocal sharing. The co-variation between giving and reciprocally patterned relationships, we hypothesize, represented an evolutionarily recurrent feature of our ancestral social ecology, which has been captured in the human cognitive system in the form of an adaptive prior: an inbuilt propensity to infer from the occurrence of a giving-based interactions the existence of an underlying relationship regulated on reciprocal exchange. Borrowing from Fiske's (1992) Relational Models Theory, we characterize such relationship as conforming to the equality-matching (EM) model (i.e., a model governed by a directive standard of even balance). Building on these premises, the present work seeks to experimentally investigate such sensitivity to giving as cue of EM relationships in human infants. The dissertation is composed of five sets of studies (excluding the Appendix), which addressed this hypothesis at different levels: first, by assessing whether infants are capable of representing giving actions, and which are the minimal input conditions for inducing such representation (Chapters III and IV); second, by testing whether infants encode information functional for the bookkeeping of welfare imbalances (a socially relevant aspect of EM relationships) selectively for giving-based interactions (Chapters V and VI); and, third, by exploring whether infants expect equal resource division specifically for allocation procedures involving active distribution (Chapter VII). The findings produced by these studies convergently supported the hypothesis that the observation of giving primes the representation of EM relationships, additionally suggesting that superficially similar transferring actions (i.e., unresisted taking) may elicit fundamentally different inferences about the coordination rules adopted by the sharing partners. These results have two major implications for the research on early social cognition. Firstly, they demonstrate that infants are equipped with a rich conceptual repertoire of possession-related actions, which they exploit to infer different rules for regulating benefit exchange over time. Secondly, they suggest that, beyond the attribution of morally relevant dispositions and the representation of cooperative/competitive coalitions, infants' naïve sociology also encompasses the understanding and classification of social relationships on the basis of different rules of long-term exchange and benefit distribution. The defense will take place at room 101, V. Budapest, Október 6 street 7, 1st floor on Tuesday, September 5th, at 3 pm organized by the Department of Cognitive Science ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu
