[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: ``Let’s act together, it’s Valentine’s Day`` by Robrecht van der Wel, Wednesday, February 14, 17:00

by Gyorgyne Finta

*REMINDER* Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Robrecht van der Wel, Rutgers University Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2018 – 17:00-18:30 Host: Ernő Téglás Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Let’s act together, it’s Valentine’s Day Going on a date for Valentine’s Day is (hopefully) more enjoyable together than it is in the absence of company. Much of what people do, they do in the presence of others. Often, other people merely act as passersby, such as when we walk on a busy street. But the presence of others often creates opportunities for accomplishing goals we could not accomplish alone, such as when lifting heavy furniture. In this talk, I will discuss studies I have conducted on the mechanisms through which other people influence our physical actions. These studies will cover both implicit influences of others’ cognitions and actions on our action system, as well as cases in which people explicitly plan and coordinate their actions together with others. Metacognitive aspects of such joint actions will be discussed as well. Together, these studies support the view of an embodied cognitive system that is embedded in a social context.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: 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: February 7, Laszlo Talas (University of Bristol)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Laszlo Talas<http://camolab.com/members.php?s=talas> (Camo Lab, University of Bristol) Date: Wednesday, February 7, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 The cultural evolution of camouflage uniform patterns: visual concealment as foreign policy? Why do armies operating in similar environments (e.g. temperate woodlands of Europe) wear markedly different dress? The primary function of military camouflage is generally understood to be concealment, however the vast diversity of camouflage patterns (over 600 patterns in the past century) suggests additional design factors. One hypothesis is that camouflage patterns can also act as signals of alliance and aiding soldiers to distinguish friend from foe. On the other hand, newly independent states can endorse their identity by issuing distinctive camouflage. In both cases, designs must remain constrained to function as adequate concealment. The aim of this presentation is to show how a phylogenetic model can be useful for testing these hypotheses. In order to quantify similarity between patterns, we used methods derived from computer vision to compare their texture and colour. Camouflage of countries can be represented as phylogenies; temporal information (e.g. when patterns were issued) is readily available. Using two cases studies - the post-Cold War changes in East European camouflage and the emergence of Post-Yugoslavian patterns - I will demonstrate how certain "design drifts" can be detected throughout the history of camouflage uniforms. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
