[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: March 14, Michael Bang Petersen (Aarhus University)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Michael Bang Petersen<http://pure.au.dk/portal/en/persons/michael-bang-petersen(7998cc16-75d5-406…> (Aarhus University) Date: Wednesday, March 14, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 The Design of the Political Mind In order to understand how modern citizens think and feel about politics, we need to understand what their political minds were designed for. There is only one explanation for functional biological design: evolution by natural selection. In this talk, I will discuss and illustrate how evolution designed the human mind to help our ancestors navigate in the politics of small-scale groups and how this design of the political mind continues to shape modern politics. Perhaps surprisingly, much irrationality in modern politics is a direct consequence of a mind that is extremely well-designed for the politics of the past. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER ``Remembering Cheaters: The Importance of Memory in Social Cooperation`` a talk by Raoul Bell (University of Dusseldorf) on Wednesday, March 7, 2018

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Raoul Bell (University of Dusseldorf) Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Gergely Csibra Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: Remembering Cheaters: The Importance of Memory in Social Cooperation Evolutionary psychology postulates that cognitive mechanisms have emerged as solutions to specific adaptive problems during the evolution of the human mind and brain. Cooperation in social groups has been such an important adaptive problem for humans. Reciprocal cooperation requires the ability to detect, remember, and recognize cheaters to know when to refuse cooperation, and when to punish cheating. How does the human brain solve this problem? A popular hypothesis in evolutionary psychology is that evolutionary selection has favored human brains equipped with a cheater recognition module that enables the individual to learn particularly well from previous negative experiences with cheaters. Consistent with this assumption, source memory for faces associated with cheating has been found to be superior to source memory for faces associated with trustworthy or irrelevant behaviors. However, this memory advantage is not special for cheating because it can also be observed for faces associated with other types of threatening behavior. Furthermore, source memory is not always enhanced for negatively arousing information, but is instead better for information that stands out because it violates expectations. This memory advantage for expectancy-incongruent information is complemented by strong expectancy-congruent guessing biases. Based on these and other findings, it will be discussed whether human memory should better be conceived of as adaptive in the general sense that the human mind makes efficient use of memory resources.
