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] CEU Departmental Colloquium, July 3: Ansgar Endress (City University of London) - Interference and memory capacity limitations

by Denis Tatone

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Dr. *Ansgar Endress *(City University of London) [web <http://www.endress.org/>] Title: *Interference and memory capacity limitations* Date: Wednesday, 3 July 2019 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10 Abstract: Working Memory (WM) retains items over brief periods of time for use by ongoing cognitive operations. WM capacity is thought to be limited to 3 or 4 items. Further, such capacity limitations are often thought to reflect limitations of active maintenance mechanisms such as attention and executive function. Here, I suggest that such severe capacity-limitations mostly arise in experiments with substantial proactive interference (PI) among items, and that these limitations disappear when interference among items is reduced. Further, I provide a simple mathematical proof showing that, under general conditions, interference among memory items guarantees fixed and limited capacity limitations even in the absence of the maintenance mechanisms that are supposedly at the root of WM capacity limitations. Interference can also mimic the predictions of different theories of WM, notably those of slot-like and continuous resource-like theories. As a result, neither the existence of WM limitations nor their shape are necessarily diagnostic of the memory mechanisms causing these limitations. Instead, at least in some situations, WM limitations might be largely automatic consequences of interference. In line with this view, I show that the effects of interference on memory performance are relatively independent of presentation speed and executive secondary tasks, and that the forms of attention that supposedly yield capacity limitations of 3 or 4 items – simultaneous attention as measured by multiple object tracking – have fundamentally different properties from WM. Based on these and other experiments, I propose that, in many situations, the primary limitation of memory might be to retrieve relevant rather than irrelevant memory representations, and that this problem might be exacerbated if “crowding” of the memory space makes it hard to identify the appropriate memory items. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, June 19: Gabriella Vigliocco (UCL) - Ecological Language: a multimodal approach to language learning and processing

by Denis Tatone

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *Gabriella Vigliocco *(UCL) [web <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/research/experimental-psychology/person/gabriell…> ] Title: *Ecological Language: a multimodal approach to language learning and processing* Date: Wednesday, 19 June 2019 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10 Abstract: The human brain has evolved the ability to support communication in complex and dynamic environments. In such environments, language is learned, and mostly used in face-to-face contexts in which processing and learning is based on multiple cues both linguistic and non-linguistic. Yet, our understanding of how language is learnt and processed comes for the most from reductionist approaches in which the multimodal signal is reduced to speech or text. I will introduce our current programme of research that investigates language in real-world settings in which learning and processing are intertwined and the listener/learner has access to -- and therefore can take advantage of -- the multiple cues provided by the speaker. I will then describe studies that aim at characterising the distribution of the multimodal cues in the language used by caregivers when interacting with their children (mostly 2-3 years old) and provide data concerning how these cues are differentially distributed depending upon whether the child knows the objects being talked about (allowing us to more clearly isolate learning episodes), and whether the objects are present (ostensive vs. non-ostensive). I will then move to a study using EEG addressing the question of how discourse but crucially also the non-linguistic cues modulate predictions about the next word in a sentence. I will conclude discussing the insights we have and (especially) can gain using this real world, more ecologically valid, approach to the study of language. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER:``Punishment: one tool, many uses `` by Nichola Raihani (UCL) on Wednesday, June 12, 2019

by Eszter Salamon

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next talk by: Nichola Raihani (UCL)<https://www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/research/experimental-psychology/person/nichola-…> Date: Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Christophe Heintz Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Punishment: one tool, many uses Punishment involves paying a cost to harm others and is thought to operate as a tool to convert cheaters into cooperators. In stylized laboratory games, humans willingly punish their co-players, and this proclivity for punishment is frequently invoked to explain why humans are so extraordinarily cooperative. In this talk, I will critically assess the assumption that punishment is used as a tool to convert cheaters into cooperators. I will first present evidence from the cleaner fish-client mutualism, showing data that support this assumption. I will then discuss the picture in humans, which seems to be more complicated. In humans, punishment often prompts retaliation, rather than cooperation. Furthermore, punishment decisions often reflect the desire to equalise or elevate payoffs relative to targets, rather than the desire to enact revenge for harm received or to deter cheats from reoffending in future. For example, negative gossip - one obvious real-world expression of punitive sentiment - is arguably more likely to serve a competitive, rather than a deterrent function. Together, these converging strands of evidence cast serious doubts on the assumption that the sole function of punishment in humans is to convert cheating individuals into cooperators. I will outline a competing hypothesis: punishment has a competitive function, that allows punishers to equalise or elevate their own payoffs and/or status relative to targets independently of any change in the target's behaviour. Indeed, the commonly-used 1:3 fee-to-fine ratio in experimental games is competitive by default since it costs less to inflict punishment than to receive it. Finally, I will discuss how institutions that reduce or remove the possibility that punishers are motivated by relative payoff or status concerns might offer a way to harness these competitive motives and render punishment more effective at restoring cooperation.
