[Koglist] Fluencia Party on 9th February (Friday)

by Dezso Nemeth

Dear Cognitive Folks, The next Fluencia Party will be on 9th February (Friday) starting at 8.00pm in Élesztő (Tűzoltó utca close to Corvin metro station). Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/2013110232260580/ Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-, psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And, of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment. Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask. All the best, Dezso -------------------------------------- NEMETH, Dezso (PhD) Brain, Memory and Language Lab: http://www.memory-and-language.com Phone: +36-1-4614500/3565, +36-1-4614500/3519

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER -- CEU Cognitive Science Colloquium, Wednesday July 25 -- prof. Lori Markson -- Children's reasoning about social exclusion

by Barbara Pomiechowska

This a kind reminder about the CEU Department of Cognitive Science Colloquium. We invite you talk by: Prof. *Lori Markson* (Washington University) [web <https://pages.wustl.edu/children>] Title: *Children’s reasoning about social exclusion* Date: Wednesday, 25 July 2018 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: The basic human need to belong has an evolutionary basis and is largely universal. The awareness of and ability to evaluate social interactions appears to emerge in infancy. Infants discriminate between positive and negatively valence interactions and even recognize dominance hierarchies in their observations of third-party interactions. However, there has been less research on the emergence of the motivation to seek acceptance and avoid rejection. I will present some of our work exploring the developmental trajectory of children’s early reasoning about the social dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. Our findings suggest that by three years of age, children begin to differentiate between excluders and those who have been excluded based on their intentions and interactions. The results will be discussed in the context of a broader theoretical framework for thinking about the emergence and development of the human sensitivity to social exclusion. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] VENUE CHANGE: ``Children's ideas about what can and cannot happen`` a talk by Paul Harris (Graduate School of Education, Harvard University) on Wednesday, July 11, 2018

by Gyorgyne Finta

**** NOTE: the talk is going to be in Oktober Hall! - Ground floor of Oktober 6 street 7. **** From: talks-bounces(a)cogsci.ceu.edu [mailto:talks-bounces@cogsci.ceu.edu] On Behalf Of Gyorgyne Finta Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2018 10:37 AM To: talks(a)cogsci.ceu.edu (talks(a)cogsci.ceu.edu) <talks(a)cogsci.ceu.edu> Subject: Re: [CEU Cogsci Talks] ``Children's ideas about what can and cannot happen`` a talk by Paul Harris (Graduate School of Education, Harvard University) on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 REMINDER: Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk - as part of its Summer University course `Thinking about the Possible` by: Paul Harris<https://summeruniversity.ceu.edu/node/4839> (Graduate School of Education, Harvard University) Date: Wednesday, July 11, 2018 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Agnes Melinda Kovacs Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: Children's ideas about what can and cannot happen Young children are often credited with a rich imagination that enables them to enjoy a variety of fantasy worlds. I argue that this portrait is misleading. When children engage in imaginative play and when they make sense of the pretend actions of a play partner, they routinely invoke their understanding of everyday causal regularities. As such, their pretend play tends to reproduce the familiar, pedestrian routines of everyday life even it can also be laced with transgression and disruption. I argue that this restriction on pretend worlds also applies to children's thinking about counterfactual possibilities. Although there is evidence that young children are able to think about how reality might have turned out otherwise, I will argue that children invoke only modest departures from what actually happened - departures that typically fall within the range of everyday causality. I will also explore a potentially powerful objection to this insistence on the pedestrian and reality-bound nature of children's imagination. Children are receptive to religious and fictional narratives in which miraculous or magical events occur. Since these events do depart from ordinary reality, the implication is that children enjoy a fertile imagination. However, I will present evidence that children's receptivity is quite dependent on input from the surrounding culture. Thus, although children's imagination can be fed, and arguably enriched, by religious and fictional narratives, they are not prone to generate such narratives autonomously. Finally, I will discuss the extent to which this somewhat withholding portrait of children's imagination can be extended to that of adults.
