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

by Barbu Revencu

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. 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] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CDC Seminar: Julia Leonard (Yale), 4pm on Wednesday April 13

by Rachel Dudley

*Time*: 4pm (to 5:30pm) Budapest/Vienna time *Date*: Wednesday, April 13, 2022 *Venue*: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352 <https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44 *Chair*: Barbara Pomiechowska *Speaker*: Julie Leonard <https://jlnrd.github.io/> (Yale University) *Title*: *Social influences on children’s persistence* *Abstract*: Learning requires effort, yet children can’t try hard at everything. Every day children have to decide what’s worth their effort - when to persist through challenges versus when to give up and move on to a different endeavor. How do children make this decision? In this talk, I show how infants and children leverage social information to effectively allocate effort. First, I show that children are more likely to stick with a challenge when provided clear feedback that their performance is improving over time. Second, I demonstrate that infants can generalize the value of persistence to a novel task from watching how hard an adult tries to reach a goal. Children not only integrate information about adults’ actions, but also about their outcomes (success or failure) and testimony, to decide how hard to try. Third, I show correlational and causal evidence that the real-world parenting behavior of “taking over” (completing hard tasks for children) negatively impacts children’s persistence. Finally, I present data showing that day-to-day variation in parent praise correlates with fluctuations in children’s naturalistic persistent behavior. Collectively, this work elucidates the powerful effects of adults’ actions and words on children’s effort allocation and ultimately suggests adult behavior as an effective point of intervention for fostering children’s persistence. *Let me know if you would like to schedule an online meeting with Julia Leonard.* ______________________________________________ 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
