[Koglist] Corvinus Game Theory Seminar, Ido Erev (Technion) on Anomalies, forecasts, and decision research during the big data revolution

by Szántó Richárd

CORVINUS GAME THEORY SEMINAR Corvinus University of Budapest Address: Közraktár u. 2-4., Budapest February 2 (Friday), 11:00-12:00, Room C:106 (New bldg) Ido Erev (Technion, Haifa, Israel) Anomalies, forecasts, and decision research during the big data revolution Behavioral decision research highlights interesting choice anomalies, and proposes elegant cognitive models that can explain these phenomena.Yet, it is often easier to predict behavior with theory-free machine learning tools than with the leading cognitive models.One reason for the difficulty in deriving general predictions using cognitive models is that different models are often proposed to explain different phenomena.It is then unclear which model to use to address a new task.The current talk reviews recent research and describes a new choice prediction competition project (https://cpc18.wordpress.com) that tries to address this problem. -- Richard Szanto Department of Decision Sciences Corvinus University of Budapest

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Invitation to the Doctoral Defense of Laura Schmitz, Department of Cognitive Science, on February 15, 3 pm, 2018

by Gyorgyne Finta

The Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the public defense of the PhD thesis Co-representation and Communication in Joint Action by Laura Schmitz SUPERVISOR: Günther Knoblich SECONDARY SUPERVISOR: Natalie Sebanz Members of the Dissertation Committee: Ernő Téglás, Chair, CEU Cristina Becchio, external examiner, Italian Institute of Technology/University of Torino Rob van der Wel, external examiner, Rutgers University, ABSTRACT: Humans constantly coordinate their actions with those of others, ranging from a handshake to the building of a house. What are the processes enabling individuals to perform such joint actions? The present work targets this question by investigating to what extent individuals integrate others' task constraints into their own actions when acting together. The first study explored whether individuals represent and adapt to a co-actor's movement constraint to achieve temporal coordination even if this implies compromising the efficiency of their own movements. The results showed that unconstrained individuals represented the obstacle obstructing their co-actor's movement path such that they moved as if an obstacle was obstructing their own path as well. A second study investigated whether co-actors represent the order of actions within each other's action sequence. Co-actors experienced interference when performing the same actions in a different order compared to the same order, indicating that they represented the order of each other's actions, although this was not necessary for joint task performance. A third study asked whether and how co-actors create novel communication systems to solve a coordination problem. Depending on situational factors, informed actors communicated by engaging in novel forms of sensorimotor communication or of symbolic communication. In sum, these studies show that individuals possess a distinct tendency to take others' task constraints into account when faced with the challenges of real-time action coordination. Specifically, individuals represent the difficulty, the goal states, and the temporal structure of others' actions, as well as the task knowledge others possess, and they integrate these constraints into their own actions even if this compromises individual efficiency. If overcoming another's task constraint requires an active transfer of information, individuals flexibly create novel communication systems. Taken together, the work presented in this thesis contributes to a better understanding of the processes underlying joint action and it provides further indication of the human predisposition to act with others in mind. The defense will take place at room 101, V. Budapest, Október 6 street 7, 1st floor on Thursday, February 15, at 3:00 p.m. Györgyné Finta (Réka) Department Coordinator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Central European University Department of Cognitive Science H-1051 Budapest Oktober 6 utca 7. tel: (36-1) 887-5138 fax: (36-1) 887-5010 http://www.ceu.edu http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu ______________________________________________ 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

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Colloquium: January 24, Asli Özyurek (Radboud University, Nijmegen; Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Asli Özyurek <http://www.mpi.nl/people/ozyurek-asli> (Donders Institute and Center for Language Studies Radboud University, Nijmegen; Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics) Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 How communicative intent modulates gesture and action: Implications for social interaction and cultural transmission Bodily actions may be used to directly act on the world around us (e.g., to open a jar), or as a means of communication as in gestures- when the hands simulate opening a jar or point to entities (real or absent). Probably as unique to our species both types of actions can be modulated for communicative purposes and thus in relation to communicative intent. I will present behavioral, neural and cross-cultural evidence specifically for the role of kinematic modulation as well as eye gaze (i.e, ostensive signals) in conveying communicative intent during both production and perception of gestures and actions in various contexts (e.g., in absence or presence of language). I will also argue that communicative modulation of actions and gestures plays a significant role especially in facilitating social interaction and cultural transmission (i.e., language, world knowledge). We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Summer School Course “Thinking About the Possible” at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, from 9 July, 2018 till 14 July, 2018

by Gyorgyne Finta

Summer School Course “Thinking About the Possible” at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, from 9 July, 2018 till 14 July, 2018 __________________________________________________________ Dear All, The application system is open<https://ceu-sun.embark.com/auth/login> now and we accept applications till February 14! Please feel free to spread the word to your colleagues and students! CEU's summer school “Thinking About the Possible” invites applications from graduate students, junior faculty, researchers and practitioners in universities and other institutions from all over the world. Thinking about the possible and impossible and exploring counterfactual (“what if?”) scenarios are fundamental aspects of the human mind. The boundary conditions for counterfactual thinking, and the extent to which it shares the same underlying cognitive machinery with related abilities such as episodic future thinking and pretend play, are currently the subjects of substantial debate in philosophy and psychology. The course will bring together diverse perspectives on imagination and counterfactual reasoning, with seminars offered by faculty from the fields of Developmental and Cognitive Psychology, Philosophy, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Informatics on a range of topics. Course participants will learn about empirical techniques and findings from studies in cognitive development, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience and will engage with theoretical perspectives on the nature of imagination and counterfactual reasoning. We would appreciate if you could spread this information to your colleagues, students and research fellows.
