*Title*: *What fictions do people like at different ages? Predictions from
evolutionary developmental psychology*
*Abstract*: Narrative fictions (be it in the form of novels, movies, TV
series or video games) have surely become the most widespread source of
entertainment in the world. Why do humans spend so much time and resources
consuming stories that they know to be false? We contend that fiction
makers succeed in attracting people's attention by tapping into a myriad of
specialized cognitive mechanisms that evolved to solve different adaptive
challenges. For instance, humans, being omnivore foragers, evolved to be
interested in exploring new environments and discovering new resources.
These exploratory preferences can in turn be triggered by fiction makers
through for instance the invention of imaginary worlds (i.e. Middle Earth,
Hogwart, Hyrule). Importantly, evolutionary developmental psychologists
have argued that adaptive challenges are not the same at different life
stages. We can therefore derive from evolutionary psychology, and from the
idea of evolutionary developmental psychology, a theory of the development
of cognitive preferences across ontogeny, and make fine-grained and
testable predictions about what fictions toddlers, children, adolescents,
young adults and adults should like.

Dear all,
We would like to remind you that the following talk by Balázs Aczél and
Márton Kovács, organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series will
be held* today at 15:00 *(CET)!
*Time and date:* 15:00 (CET), Tuesday, 08. 03. 2022.
*Speaker:* Balázs Aczél & Márton Kovács (Metascience Lab, ELTE)
*Title:* Tools and practices to promote open and efficient science
*Abstract:* In this talk, I’ll introduce three new tools that
aim to improve the efficiency of researchers’ work and the accumulation of
knowledge. I’ll argue that minimizing extra workload and increasing the
ease of use have key importance at the introduction of new
research practices. The tools that I’ll share are (1) The Transparency
Checklist
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shinya…>,
a consensus-based general ShinyApp checklist to improve and document the
transparency of research reports; (2) Tenzing
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmartonbal…>,
a solution to simplify the CRediT-based documentation and reporting the
contributions to scholarly articles; and (3) the Multi-analyst guidance
<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Felifescie…>,
a consensus-based guide for conducting and documenting multi-analyst
studies.

ABSTRACT:
Human behavior is motivated not only by primary rewards (such as food), but also by social rewards (such as approval). In the last decade, a fundamental challenge has been to understand the different aspects involved in reward. While animal research has clearly established "wanting" and "liking" as two components differing on the neurobiological and neurochemical level, corresponding research in humans is less conclusive. The present talk addresses this gap of knowledge by testing: a) whether "wanting" and "liking" can be dissociated in humans on the behavioral and neurochemical level for non-social and social rewards; and b) whether such components are differently impaired in clinical conditions such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). By employing a novel behavioral paradigm in combination with pharmacological manipulations (i.e. dopamine and opioid antagonists; experiment 1 and 2), we first aimed at differentially targeting these two components. In experiment 3, the same paradigm combined with fMRI was used to investigate reward processing in individuals with ASD compared to neurotypical controls. Participants were tested in a real effort task, to determine their explicit (ratings of wanting and liking and squeezing of hand dynamometer) and implicit (hedonic facial reactions) responses to different types of rewards. Nonsocial rewards were small amounts of milk with different concentrations of cacao. Social rewards were gentle caresses delivered to the forearm at different speeds by a same-sex experimenter. The findings are discussed in light of the current theory of reward processing and social motivation in particular.
We are looking forward seeing you there!
