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

Title: *Mental Files in Perspective*
Date: Wednesday, 2 October 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
Mental files theory provides a unifying view on seemingly unrelated
phenomena in Cognitive Development and Cognitive Neuroscience. A mental
file represents/refers to a particular individual (object or person),
tracks it over time, and stores knowledge about it. Conceptualizing an
individual in different ways puts different perspectives on it. This is
captured by coreferential files for the same individual, e.g., Cicero and
Tully would be assigned two different files. Knowledge of their identity is
implemented by the metacognitive action of linking the two files for
information to flow between them. The assumption that this ability develops
around 4 years explains why identity statements and beliefs (and a series
of other perspective problems) are understood at this age. Linking of files
also has a common neural substrate in the dorsal part of the left IPL
(inferior parietal lobe), which is responsive to, e.g., representing
beliefs, identity statements, mathematical equations, person recognition.
We are looking forward to see you.

Inflated effects in empirical research are ubiquitous but become smaller over time: Meta-meta-analytical evidence for the decline effect
Principles of a-priori hypothesizing, care- and thoughtful study design, and effect corroboration by direct replication are standards that ensure the meaningfulness of obtained results in empirical research and that are embraced by virtually all empirical researchers. Recently, however, the trust in empirical research in general and Psychological Science in particular has been undermined by unreliable effect estimates, biased results, and lacking reproducibility. Strategic researcher behaviors and publication process-related mechanisms that promote the publication of striking (but wrong) or inflated results were frequently cited as potential drivers for effect invalidity and misrepresentations. Although effect declines have been documented in a number of specific cases in the literature, no systematic account of effect changes over time is to date available. Consequently, in this presentation, I provide evidence for cross-temporal effect changes (regardless of the respective research question) based on more than 400 meta-analyses (N = 270,000,000+; k = 28,000+) that have been published in five flagship journals in Psychology. On the whole, analyses of effect trajectories indicate average effect changes of about a small effect size (i.e., r = .10) for every 15 years that elapsed following their initial publication (i.e., the first account that has been published for a given research question). Importantly, the aggregated evidence shows that effect declines outnumber increases at a ratio of about 3:2 and are on average twice as strong. Moreover, larger exploratory and summary effects appear to be associated with more substantial effect declines. Remedies for such systematic ubiquitous effect misrepresentations warrant changes in scientific quality control (i.e., the review process) and the evaluation of academics (e.g., in terms of tenure or promotion committees). Promoting study preregistration, the publication of primary data, discovery- and replication-sampling approaches, as well as the use of safeguard power in replications may be first steps in the right direction.
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by:
Prof. Sabine Hunnius (Radboud University)

Title: How Young Children Learn About and From Others
Date: Wednesday, 25 September 2019
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
Infants come into this world equipped with advanced learning mechanisms. Moreover, from early on they show an elaborate pattern of allocating attention to stimuli in a way that allows them to learn optimally from their environment. I will present a series of behavioral and neurophysiological experiments demonstrating how these mechanisms support infants’ social learning. In addition, I will discuss recent research from my lab on adults’ infant-directed behaviors that shows how adults skillfully adapt their teaching behaviors to the attentional preferences and learning capabilities of their infant interaction partners to optimize learning. Together, my research demonstrates how the intricate interaction of infants’ basic learning mechanisms and a well-matched social environment brings about the astonishing developmental changes of early childhood.
We are looking forward to see you.

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>)
Sabine Hunnius (Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour,
Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, webpage
<https://www.ru.nl/english/people/hunnius-s/> ) entitled:
*How infants learn about themselves and others *
date: 24th September 2019, 12:30
place: room 403, Institute of Psychology, ELTE, 46 Izabella street,
Budapest, 1064
Abstract:
>From early on, infants explore the world around them with great interest:
They watch their own hands as they move through their visual field, pay
close attention to the people around them, and take pleasure in interacting
with adults in a playful manner. But how do infants first learn about their
own bodies and actions? And how do they develop the ability to understand
actions they observe in others? In this talk, I will present a series of
behavioral and neuroscientific experiments that examine how infants build
models that allow them to generate predictions about own and others’
actions. In particular, I will discuss how active action experience and
observational experience provide infants with the necessary information to
learn about themselves and others and gradually develop complex
social-cognitive capabilities.
If you know anyone who might be interested in Ms. Hunnius's talk, feel free
to spread the word!
