[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] A talk by Roland Benoit (MPI Leipzig) on Adaptive memory: Simulating the future and forgetting the past - this Wednesday, April 11, 2018

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Roland Benoit (MPI Leipzig)<http://www.rolandbenoit.net/> Date: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Gergely Csibra/Johnnes Mahr Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Adaptive memory: Simulating the future and forgetting the past Roland G. Benoit Max Planck Research Group - Adaptive Memory, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences This presentation examines two adaptive facets of episodic memory. In the first part, I will show how we can simulate the future by drawing on knowledge of the past. I will further explore the influence of such episodic simulation on decisions and real-life attitudes. In particular, I will focus on the contribution of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. In the second part, I will discuss how we can voluntarily forget unwanted memories. I will provide evidence that targeted attempts to suppress the retrieval of unwanted memories can reduce the vividness with which they later can be recalled and eventually cause forgetting. I will show how such a reduction in vividness goes along with an attenuation of associated emotional responses and possibly a deterioration of parahippocampal memory representations. Finally (and time permitting), I will take a bird's eye view on the field of memory suppression by meta-analyzing some of the evidence for voluntary forgetting. By this, I will also ponder the question whether suppression constitutes a beneficial coping mechanism. Together, the two parts thus highlight processes that make memory adaptive, enabling us to imagine the future and to forget the unwanted past.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: April 3 (Tuesday), Louise Barrett (University of Lethbridge)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Louise Barrett<http://directory.uleth.ca/users/louise.barrett> (University of Lethbridge, Psychology Department) Date: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 A Little Less Representation, a Little More Action, Please In psychology and cognitive neuroscience, the job description of the brain is to represent the external world, compensating for a lack of specificity in sensory input. While it is true that humans are representational creatures, this view is not 'species-neutral' in the way we sometimes assume, and it may not be appropriate this model broadly across the animal kingdom; it gets evolutionary continuity precisely backwards. It also generates a particular kind of "scientific" (or even, scientistic) mind that is contrasted with a form of "mindless behaviourism" and then treats these as if they are the only two alternatives possible; an investigative strategy prominent in studies of comparative cognition. In recent years, there have been efforts to change the job description of the brain to one that is "performative", rather than representational. These views-variously characterised as embodied, embedded, enactive and extended-consider the brain as part of a dynamical system in which brain, body and environment together generate psychological phenomena. Thus, they reject the idea that of a brain sits aloof from the senses, waiting to receive data on which it can put its inferential capacities to work. Here, I discuss how these ideas allow us to do justice to evolutionary continuity, but don't require other creatures to be hairier, more feathery, less talkative versions of ourselves. This in turn has implications for how we think about our own evolution, and what we talk about when we talk about "minds". I wish to make a case for thinking of behaviours as "expressive enactions", where behaviour are criteria for appropriate psychological attributions, not inductive evidence for them. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!
