[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Jutta Müller (University of Vienna), Wednesday November 30, 4 pm

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Jutta Müller<https://psy-ling.univie.ac.at/en/> (University of Vienna) Auditory sequential learning across ontogeny and phylogeny: Evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological and modeling studies Humans’ ability to learn complex sequential structure from auditory information forms a basic component of spoken language. As an exemplary case of a linguistically relevant sequential structure, I investigate the learning of non-adjacent dependencies between units of sound. I will present neurophysiological studies in young infants, children and adults and integrate this with behavioral findings in order to show that complex sequential learning in the auditory domain undergoes dramatic changes across ontogenetic development including age-related decline. In contrast, the basic ability to learn non-adjacent dependencies has been found across many species, even in those that are related to humans only distantly. Computational modeling underscores that relatively simple mechanisms suffice to acquire those structures. Based on empirical evidence I will argue that the ability to learn complex structures from the auditory environment is a basic ability of primate (and maybe non-primate) brains which is specifically modified across human ontogeny in order to support the full complexity of human language. Date: Wednesday, November 30, 2022 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712) Chair: Ágnes Kovács *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/r/i1nCmekPLp> to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] DUCOG2023: Mechanisms of Collective Decision-making for Cooperative Actions

by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the XIV. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, which is devoted to the topic of 'Mechanisms of Collective Decision-making for Cooperative Actions'. The conference will take place between 18 and 21 May 2023 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Collective decision-making is ubiquitous in the lives of primates, especially humans. In human groups, collective decisions give rise to various forms of cooperation including the attainment of goals that individuals could not reach on their own, the creation and refinement of artifacts and behavioral practices that benefit entire groups, as well as the establishment of norms and institutions that structure our everyday activities. Understanding how humans and other animals make and coordinate decisions that enable cooperative action has been a central question in the social and biological sciences. This conference brings together researchers from a range of disciplines including cognitive and developmental psychology, social neuroscience, and evolutionary biology who have substantially expanded our knowledge on this topic. By aggregating some of the latest research on the mechanisms underlying decision-making in cooperative actions the conference aims to provide an overview of the current state of the art as well as to identify key questions to be addressed in the future. Invited speakers will include: Bahador Bahrami - Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany Iain Couzin - Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, University of Konstanz Arianna Curioni - Vienna University of Technology, Austria Bahar Köymen - University of Manchester, UK Jennifer Misyak - University of Warwick, UK Daniel Richardson - University College London, UK Liran Samuni - Harvard University, US For more information please visit: https://ducog.cecog.eu or email us at: ducog(a)cecog.eu Poster abstract submissions will be open between 1 January and 28 February 2023.

[Koglist] REMINDER: TOMORROW: Adaptation via innovation in the animal kingdom

by Szabó Eszter Dóra

Dear All, We would like to invite you to the following talk by Kata Horváth (Eötvös Loránd University & Lund University), organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series. Time and date: 16:30 (CET), Thursday, November 24th 2022 Speaker: Kata Horváth (Eötvös Loránd University & Lund University) Title: Adaptation via innovation in the animal kingdom Abstract: Over the course of evolution, the human race has achieved a number of remarkable innovations, that have enabled us to adapt to and benefit from the environment ever more effectively. The ongoing environmental threats and health disasters of our world have now made it crucial to understand the cognitive mechanisms behind innovative behaviours. In my talk, I will present two research projects with examples of innovation-based behavioural adaptation from the taxonomic kingdom of animals, serving as a comparative psychological model for mapping the evolution of innovation. The first project focuses on the challenge of overcoming physical disability. In this study, we investigated an injured kea (Nestor notabilis) that exhibits an efficient, intentional, and innovative tool-use behaviour to compensate his disability, showing evidence for innovation-based adaptation to a physical disability in a non-human species. The second project focuses on the evolution of fire use from a cognitive perspective. Fire has been one of the most dominant ecological forces in human evolution; however, it is still unknown what capabilities and environmental factors could have led to the emergence of fire use. In the core study of this project, we investigated a captive population of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) that has been regularly exposed to campfires during the cold winter months for over 60 years. Our results suggest that macaques are able to take advantage of the positive effects of fire while avoiding the dangers of flames and hot ashes, and exhibit calm behaviour around the bonfire. In addition, I will present a research proposal targeting the foraging behaviour of predatory birds in parts of Australia frequently affected by bushfires. Anecdotal reports suggest that some birds use burning sticks to spread the flames, a behaviour that has not been scientifically observed and evaluated. In summary, the two projects explore innovative behaviours along three different species groups, three different habitats, and three different ecological drivers, providing insights into the cognitive and behavioural mechanisms of adaptation through innovation.

[Koglist] UPDATE: Kovacs Ilona, November 8th will be ONLINE ONLY!

by Szabó Eszter Dóra

Dear All, We would like to inform about a change regarding the following talk by Ilona Kovács ( Eötvös Loránd University), organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series. Previously the talk was organized as it could be attended personally but after some consideration we decided to organize it as an online talk. Date and time will remain the same. Hope this won't inconvenience anybody. Time and date: 18:00 (CET), Tuesday, November 8th 2022 Place: via Zoom (see below) Speaker: Ilona Kovács ( Eötvös Loránd University), Title: Biological and experience-based trajectories in adolescent brain and cognitive development Abstract: Adolescent development is not only shaped by the mere passing of time and accumulating experience, but it also depends on pubertal timing and the cascade of maturational processes orchestrated by gonadal hormones. Although individual variability in puberty onset confounds adolescent studies, it has not been efficiently controlled for. Here we introduce ultrasonic bone age assessment to estimate biological maturity and disentangle the independent effects of chronological and biological age on adolescent cognitive abilities, emotional development, and brain maturation. Comparing cognitive performance of participants with different skeletal maturity we uncover the impact of biological age on both IQ and specific abilities. With respect to emotional development, we find narrow windows of highest vulnerability determined by biological age. In terms of neural development, we focus on the relevance of neural states unrelated to sensory stimulation, such as cortical activity during sleep and resting states, and we uncover a novel anterior-to-posterior pattern of human brain maturation. Based on our findings, bone age is a promising biomarker of adolescent maturity.
