Kedves Kollégák, Szeretettel látunk minden érdeklődőt beküldött előadással és hallgatóként is a lenti workshop-on. Üdv, Attila METHODS IN NUMERICAL COGNITION WORKSHOP *Date* January 7, 2019 *Venue* Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Education and Psychology <https://www.ppk.elte.hu/en>, Budapest, Hungary, Kazinczy street, 23-27 <https://www.google.hu/maps/place/E%C3%B6tv%C3%B6s+Lor%C3%A1nd+University+Fa…>, Room 4 on ground floor *Website* https://www.thenumberworks.org/numerical_cognition_methods_workshop ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Researchers working in the field of numerical cognition often have a hard time to find the ideal methods that fit the research aim best and also please the reviewers. Some methods are less known, some of them are debated, and consequences of some methods are not studied yet. For example, how should the subitizing range be calculated, how should the visual features of non-symbolic stimuli be controlled, how should the counting knowledge of preschoolers be measured? The Methods in Numerical Cognition Workshop aims to be a forum for presenting and discussing any methods related to numerical cognition, including paradigms, tests, analyses methods, etc. The main aim of the workshop is to discuss these methods in details. In line with the aim of the workshop, the talks can be 10-15 minutes long (the time will depend on the number of submitted talks and will be announced when the final program is available), and the discussion of the talks is practically unlimited (within a reasonable limit). But there is more. During the workshop we launch a new interactive database-website that collects methods in numerical cognition, and where researchers can share their experience and opinion about these methods. This database can be considered as an online handbook, but it can be continuously updated. Also, it is a review system with much more transparent methods than most of the current peer-review options. The details of this interactive numerical cognition methodological website will be introduced as a part of the program, and workshop participants can discuss the details of the functioning of this database, too. Also, participants will be able to start uploading method summaries, and to start evaluating uploaded methods. For three months, the website will be available only for the participants of the workshop. SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT *Submission* Submit your abstract by filling this form <https://goo.gl/forms/iSsmlsIYAokIVl8o2>. *Deadline* The deadline for the abstract submission is November 20, 2018. PROGRAM *Program* Come back for the program after the submission deadline, November 20, 2018. *Slides* We will ask the presenters to upload their slides to the OSF Meetings page of the workshop <https://osf.io/view/MNCW2019/>. MORE INFORMATION *Registration fee* There is no registration fee for the workshop. *Contact* For more information contact Attila Krajcsi <krajcsi.attila(a)ppk.elte.hu> or Bert Reynvoet <bert.reynvoet(a)kuleuven.be>. *Other events* If you are coming to Budapest, you might consider attending the Budapest CEU Conference on Cognitive Development <http://bcccd.org/> (January 3-5, 2019) or the Best Practices in Data Analysis and Statistics Symposium <https://www.cogstat.org/best_practices_symposium/> (January 9, 2019), too. *Supporter* The workshop is supported by the Faculty of Education and Psychology, Eötvös Loránd University <https://www.ppk.elte.hu/en>. *Web hosting* The Workshop web page is hosted by the NumberWorks <https://www.thenumberworks.org/> lab.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Correction: CogSci CEU Colloquium: 'Coordinating decisions for cooperation' by Shona Duguid

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Shona Duguid<https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=4if4LjkAAAAJ&hl=en> (Warwick Business School) Date: Thursday, January 17, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Location: CEU, Nador Street 15, Auditorium B Coordinating decisions for cooperation: insights from a comparative perspective One of the challenges of achieving successful cooperation is coordinating our decisions and actions. This is a challenge we share with many other social species, including our closest living relatives, the great apes. The comparison of how great apes and humans solve coordination problems provide insights into the evolution of human cooperation. Of particular interest is how communication functions as a coordination tool. A closer look at how and when individuals communicate, not only informs us about their communication skills but also about the nature of the cooperative interaction. I will present findings from behavioural experiments presenting children and great apes with a range of coordination problems; including situations in which partners have a common goal and those in which they have to overcome conflicts of interest. These findings show that all species demonstrate the ability to coordinate their decisions effectively across a range of situations but that the means to coordinate can differ. Even though chimpanzees and bonobos have communicative tools to mediate everyday social interactions, communication appears to play a relatively minor role in facilitating coordination in. I will discuss why we see this discrepancy, including the potential role of the experimental paradigms. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] Invitation to Cognitive Seminar 22nd January

by Eszter Dóra Szabó

Dear All, The Faculty of Cognitive Psychology, ELTE is pleased to invite you all for the upcoming lecture of Cognitive Seminar ( https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminariu <https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminarium>) by: Ilona Kovács (Hungarian Academy of Sciences – Pázmány Péter Catholic University Adolescent Development Research Group, Budapest, webpage <https://btk.ppke.hu/karunkrol/intezetek-tanszekek/pszichologiai-intezet/tan…> ): BETA: Biological and Experience-based Trajectories in Adolescent brain development date: 22nd January 2019, 14:00 place: room 403, Institute of Psychology ELTE, 46 Izabella street, Budapest, 1064 Abstract: The adolescent brain continues to mature well into the 20s, with neural circuitry underlying executive functions among the last to mature. On the other hand, there is no consensus with respect to the developmental pace of other different cognitive functions. A usual pitfall of adolescent studies is that individual differences in puberty onset times are difficult to take into consideration against chronological age. The variability between individuals in the timing of the onset and in the pace of progression of puberty is very large, and the onset age can vary by as much as 6 years in typical development. There is a great uncertainty in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies about the sheer contribution of genetically preprogrammed maturation versus experience. The BETA (Biological and Experience-based Trajectories in Adolescent brain development) project aims to dissociate biological and chronological age for the first time, and to investigate their role independently in adolescent cognitive functioning and in the development of large-scale functional cortical networks. We assess biological maturity of a large sample of children and adolescents by a computerized estimation of their bone age, and then we select two cohorts of subjects for further investigations. Subjects are at the same biological maturity level, however different in chronological age in the “experience” cohort. In the “maturation” cohort, subjects are the same age, but they are different in maturity (or bone-age). We show that biological maturation as estimated by bone age and life-time experience related to chronological age are dissociable factors in adolescent brain development, and that their exact role is different depending on the studied developmental event.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER:] ``Learning and attention in infants: The importance of prediction in development`` by Richard Aslin (Haskins Lab) on Thursday, January 10, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Richard Aslin (Haskins Laboratory) Date: Thursday, January 10, 2019 - 13:00-14:00 Note the extraordinary timing please! Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: "Learning and attention in infants: The importance of prediction in development" Abstract: I will review three lines of research from my lab that have implications for the normative course of development and for the diagnosis of deficits or delays in development among special populations. (1) Statistical learning is a rapid form of implicitly extracting information from the environment. It has been shown to be robustly present in infants, children, and adults. Children with Specific Language Impairment and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder show different patterns of statistical learning. It may, therefore, serve as both a diagnostic tool and as a potential mechanism that underlies some developmental disorders. (2) The allocation of attention to gather information via statistical learning is controlled by both low-level stimulus salience and by predictive mechanisms. Infants allocate their attention to visual and auditory events so that they ignore both overly simple and overly complex information, while focusing mostly on information of medium complexity. Deviations from this normative pattern of allocating attention may contribute to some developmental disorders. (3) The infant brain must make predictions about upcoming stimuli. We have shown using a brain imaging technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) that an auditory cue can predict a visual stimulus, and even in the absence of the visual stimulus this prediction will elicit a brain response in the visual cortex. A follow-up study of prematurely born infants revealed that this brain signature of prediction is absent, despite these at-risk infants (tested at their corrected age) showing predictions at the behavioral level.
