[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: How do we develop an optimised sensorimotor system? - a talk by Tessa Dekker (UCL) on Wednesday, February 13, 2019

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next talk by: Tessa Dekker (UCL)<https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucjttb1/> Date: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Title: How do we develop an optimised sensorimotor system? Abstract: Human infants are born with exceptionally poor visual and motor skills but by the time they reach adulthood, most vision and action is highly proficient and near-automatic. My lab investigates the processes that support this development. I will present data showing that adults' are highly adept at accounting for the noise in their sensory estimates and the imprecisions of their movements. This allows them to form judgments and choose actions with a high chance of success in highly complex environments. Our recent research shows that this is not a trivial ability to acquire - using a combination of model-driven neuroimaging and behavioural methods, we demonstrate that children as old as 10-11 years do not correctly account for the noise in their system during vision and visually-guided action, which places them at unnecessary risk of failing at visuomotor tasks as result. I will present some examples of tasks that are substantially affected by this development, and present modelling work aimed at understanding which processes drive this shift from inefficient sensorimotor processing in childhood to the highly optimised adult end-state.

[Koglist] MTA nyílt levél

by Bálint Forgács

Kedves Kollégák! Magyari Lillával megfogalmaztunk egy nyílt levelet az MTA ügyében. Kérünk mindenkit, hogy olvassa el és, ha egyet ért vele, írja alá és terjessze levelünket. Mély aggodalommal tölt el bennünket a Magyar Tudományos Akadémiát az elmúlt hetekben ért támadás, alaptalan vádaskodás és anyagi forrásainak elvonása. Nagyon fontosnak tartjuk az egyértelmű, gyors és határozott, közös fellépést a magyar tudomány, a szabad kutatás, és általában a tudás, a tanulás és a tanítás védelme érdekében. Egyértelműen ki szeretnénk mondani: az MTA anyagi ellehetetlenítése, illetve a tudomány ideológiai alapú állami irányítás alá vonását teljes mértékben elfogadhatatlannak tartjuk, és így nem képezheti alku tárgyát. A magyar tudomány és az MTA kritikus helyzete miatt szeretnénk, ha kezdeményezésünkhöz csatlakoznának a magyarországi felsőoktatási intézmények, egyetemek, karjaik, intézeteik, tanszékeik és kutatócsoportjaik, hogy együttes erővel védjük meg a tudomány és a kutatás szakmaiságát, politika- és ideológiamentességét. Ne miniszterek döntsenek az MTA kutatási irányáról és kutatási pénzeiről, sokkal inkább vonják az MTA szakértői szakmai felügyelete alá az összes Magyarországon folyó tudományos tevékenységet. Kérjük, olvassa el az alábbi linken található nyílt levelünket, és amennyiben egyet ért vele, kérjük, írja alá, és továbbítsa azt egyetemi vezetőknek, intézeti és tanszékvezetőknek, hogy egyének mellett teljes intézmények is latba vethessék súlyukat a magyar tudomány érdekében: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiA6HiqwmZgEvEJ8LAIwly-9OneBBloUJ… Tisztelettel, Forgács Bálint, PhD és Magyari Lilla, PhD Pszichológus kutatók (MTA - ELTE)

[Koglist] CogStat workshop

by Krajcsi Attila

Kedves Kollégák, Az automatikus elemző szoftver, a CogStat (https://www.cogstat.org) használatához workshopot szervezünk. A workshop bemutatja a szoftver használatát, és a szoftver megkülönböztető tulajdonságait, amelyek miatt az elemzés és a statisztika tanulása is sok esetben hatékonyabb az alternatív szoftveres megoldásokhoz képest. A workshopot elsősorban a statisztikát és adatelemzést is tanító kollégáknak, illetve az elemzések iránt érdeklődőknek szánjuk (alapvető statisztikai tudás ismeretét feltételezzük a résztvevőktől). A workshop február 22-én 15 órától, az ELTE Izabella 46. alatti épületében lesz. Az esemény ingyenes, de a korlátozott férőhely miatt jelentkezéshez kötött. Jelentkezni a krajcsi(a)gmail.com címre küldött emaillel lehet. Üdv, Attila ------------------------------------------- Attila Krajcsi https://www.thenumberworks.org

[Koglist] International Workshop on Reading and Developmental Dyslexia

by Agnes-Melinda Kovacs

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b229a81a7a54666f2629b6ae5/images/4d0fa59e-93e…] [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b229a81a7a54666f2629b6ae5/images/7cb4a0df-8ca…] Dear Researcher, We're inviting you to the third edition of the International Workshop on Reading and Developmental Dyslexia in San Sebastiàn! iWORDD was created back in 2013 with the aim to bring together researchers interested in understanding the causes and manifestations of developmental dyslexia and attempts to address the theoretical issues faced in this field. Across two full days (October, 2nd-3th), the third edition of iWORDD will feature four excellent invited speakers whose theoretical views will cover various issues related to the impact of cross-linguistic variations on the manifestations of reading development and reading disorders. Questions linked to how structural differences amongst languages modulate reading acquisition and reading disorders will be addressed as well as important timely issues such as multilingualism and second language learning. iWORDD will therefore offer the research community the opportunity to get a broad overview of the current cross-linguistic theories underlying research in the field, while helping outline future directions in the investigation of developmental dyslexia. With it limited size, iWORDD will encourage interactions among invited speakers and researchers during the four keynote lectures, invited symposiums, oral as well as poster sessions. Coupled with the aim of generating new ideas to advance our field from theoretical perspectives, the ultimate goal of iWORDD is to highlight innovative thinking which could play in important role in clinical practice and education. With this in mind, a day devoted to linking theory to practice which will be open to a broader audience will take place after the two days of scientific meeting between researchers (October, 4th).

[Koglist] REMINDER: Cognitive Seminar Talk by Attila Keresztes tomorrow

by Eszter Dóra Szabó

Dear All, here is a reminder that Attila Keresztes's Cognitive Seminar Talk with the title Hippocampal contributions to memory specificity across the lifespan is *tomorrow, 5th February at 11:00* place:* room 206, Institute of Psychology ELTE, 46 Izabella street, Budapest, 1064* abstract: Adaptive learning systems need to meet two complementary and partially conflicting goals: detecting regularities in the world versus remembering specific events. The hippocampus (HC) keeps a fine balance between computations that extract commonalities of incoming information (i.e. generalization through pattern completion) and computations that enable encoding of highly similar events into unique representations (i.e. memory specificity through pattern separation). During early ontogeny, the rapid and cumulative acquisition of world knowledge through generalization contrasts slower improvements in the ability to lay down highly specific, long-lasting episodic memories. At the other end of the lifespan, an early decrease in memory specificity is paralleled with relatively intact generalization. In this talk, I will highlight recent behavioral and neuroimaging evidence suggesting that maturational differences among subfields within the hippocampus contribute to the lead-lag relation between generalization and specificity during childhood and adolescence, and present preliminary results of a study investigating how scenescent changes within the hippocampus affect specificity and generalization. In sum, I propose that developmental changes within the hippocampus affect the fine balance between specificity and generalization across the human lifespan. Hope to see you there!
