[Koglist] ELTE Cognitive Seminar - Nora S. Newcombe - 10 May Tuesday 4pm

by Zsuzsanna Nemecz

Dear all, We would like to invite you to the following talk by Nora S. Newcombe (Temple University), organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series. *Time and date:* 16:00 (CET), Tuesday, 10. 05. 2022 *Speaker:* Nora S. Newcombe (Temple University) *Title:* Charting Our Way in Space and Time *Abstract:* Episodic memory and navigation are two adaptive functions that share some neural substrates and that develop in humans from fragile beginnings in the first two years to mature competencies (with individual differences) by early adolescence. But how are they related, both in development and maturity? In this talk, I will discuss the two developmental trajectories, and some possible answers to that question. *Zoom link:* https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/97494506030?pwd=N1RkbXVYYS8vN2N5VmZ0YjVFMmVRZ… <https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/99679798942?pwd=eDMvWDF1Y0tkSW5zemVMZ2plRzRrU…> *Meeting ID:* 974 9450 6030 *Passcode:* 337102 If you have questions about the event, please contact us via email (nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda(a)ppk.elte.hu).

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CDC Seminar: Emily Liquin (NYU), 4pm on Wednesday May 4

by Barbu Revencu

Time: 4pm (to 5:30pm) Budapest/Vienna time Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2022 Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44 Chair: Bálint Varga Speaker: Emily Liquin<https://www.emilyliquin.com> (New York University)<https://www.emilyliquin.com> Title: How curiosity guides us towards good explanations Abstract: Curiosity motivates exploration and is beneficial for learning, but curiosity is not always experienced when facing the unknown. Why do humans experience curiosity in some circumstances but not others? And how does this change across development? In this talk, I will present my recent work investigating whether explanation-seeking curiosity — curiosity about a "why" or "how" question — is selective in a way that is tuned to the epistemic aims of explanation. If curiosity is selective in this way, we would expect learners to be most curious when they are most likely to learn useful and generalizable explanations. Our results show that curiosity motivates explanation search selectively towards explanations that a learner believes hold promise for learning. However, in ongoing work, we find that the triggers of curiosity change between childhood and adulthood. Broadly, this research sheds light on how human learners across the lifespan decide when to seek information and what questions to ask. Let me know if you would like to schedule an online meeting with the speaker. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

[Koglist] REMINDER - ELTE Cognitive Seminar - David Barner 26. 04. 2022. Tuesday 17:00

by Réka Schvajda

Dear All, We would like to remind you that the following talk by *David Barner *(UC San Diego), organized as part of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series will take place at *17:00 (CET) tomorrow* on Zoom! Time and date: 17:00 (CET), Tuesday, 26. 04. 2022. Speaker: David Barner (UC San Diego, Language & Development Lab) Title: What's innate about integer concepts? Abstract: In 1978 Gelman and Gallistel proposed a powerful nativist thesis regarding the ontogenetic origin of integer concepts in human children, and argued for a series of five distinct "counting principles" which included one-to-one correspondence, stable order, and the cardinal principle. This proposal was met with several significant waves of responses from non-nativist psychologists, who argued that children's early counting behaviors do not respect the counting principles in various ways. Currently, the field has achieved a remarkable degree of consensus regarding the empirical facts of number word learning, but the questions set out by Gelman and Gallistel remain difficult to answer, and a clear synthesis is absent. In this talk I lay out these facts and suggest a new synthesis, according to which the core innate feature of number word learning is Hume's principle of one-to-one correspondence, somewhat akin to what Gelman & Gallistel argued. However, I also argue - against their thesis - that the format by which one-to-one is innately represented - i.e., some form of parallel enumeration - is not readily translated to the sequential algorithms of culturally constructed counting algorithms, explaining why children's early counting behaviors do not immediately express Hume's Principle. Second, compatible with Gelman & Gallistel, I argue that an innate (ostensibly linguistic) syntax is responsible for generating a stable count list that extends beyond the limits of human sequence learning. But contrary to them I argue that the procedures that are the output of this syntax precede the conceptual content that it represents - namely, a numerical successor function that generates an infinite number of numbers. Learning how to express one-to-one correspondence via a sequential algorithm, and how to extend this algorithm via a generative syntactic rule are the two key cultural innovations that form the basis of counting, and are also the key conceptual hurdles that children face when learning to count.

[Koglist] BCCCD23 call for submissions

by Eszter Körtvélyesi and Rachel Dudley | BCCCD 2023 Chairs

Dear Colleagues, The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce the 13th annual BCCCD meeting in Budapest, Hungary (January 5-7, 2023). INVITED SPEAKERS H. Clark Barrett<http://www.hclarkbarrett.com/> (University of California, Los Angeles) Anne Christophe<https://lscp.dec.ens.fr/fr/member/623/anne-christophe> (CNRS & Ecole normale supérieure – PSL, Paris) Kang Lee<https://www.kangleelab.com/> (University of Toronto) Alongside our invited program, we welcome symposium, paper and poster submissions reporting studies from all fields of cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings featured a wide range of topics, such as communication, pragmatics, social cognition, conceptual development, language acquisition, numeracy, object cognition, perceptual learning, inductive learning, memory, executive function, metacognition, cognitive bases of culture, and comparative cognition. New this year, we have an earlier deadline for submission of talks and symposia in order to accommodate our expanded reviewer pool (while still maintaining our traditional late submission deadline for poster presentations). We are also welcoming proposals for half-day pre-conference workshops or tutorials relevant to the BCCCD audience. IMPORTANT DATES Submission opens: May 15, 2022 Talk submission deadline: July 31, 2022 midnight CEST (GMT+1) Symposia submission deadline: July 31, 2022 midnight CEST (GMT+1) Poster submission deadline: October 1, 2022 midnight CEST (GMT+1) Pre-conference workshop/tutorial submission deadline: October 1, 2022 midnight CEST (GMT+1) Notification of acceptance: October 31, 2022 Registration opens: November 1, 2022 Despite the unpredictable development of global health conditions in the past years, we are optimistic that BCCCD23 can take place in Budapest as in pre-pandemic times, with hybrid online formats available for those who cannot join us in person. However, we are prepared to transition to a fully online format (as in 2021 and 2022) if necessary, and we will keep you apprised of any developments as they occur. While CEU has been facing the challenge of relocating most operations to Vienna, we reassure all prospective participants that we are committed to maintaining the tradition of the Budapest campus of CEU as the site of BCCCD meetings in 2023 and beyond.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER CDC Seminar: Tobias Gerstenberg (Stanford), 4pm on Wednesday April 20

by Barbu Revencu

A reminder of the talk tomorrow: Time: 4pm (to 5:30pm) Budapest/Vienna time Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2022 Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44 Chair: Laura Schlingloff Speaker: Tobias Gerstenberg<https://cicl.stanford.edu/member/tobias_gerstenberg/> (Stanford University) Title: Going beyond the here and now: Counterfactual simulation in human cognition Abstract: As humans, we spend much of our time going beyond the here and now. We dwell on the past, long for the future, and ponder how things could have turned out differently. In this talk, I will argue that people's knowledge of the world is organized around causally structured mental models, and that much of human thought can be understood as cognitive operations over these mental models. Specifically, I will highlight the pervasiveness of counterfactual thinking in human cognition. Counterfactuals are critical for how people make causal judgments, how they explain what happened, and how they hold others responsible for their actions. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu
