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

Dear All,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk:
Time: 4pm (to 6 pm) Budapest/Vienna time
Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2022
Venue: ONLINE Zoom meeting 968 0983 4427<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96809834427?pwd=VUJ6ZnNuN2pTNU5WUTV1c2M4V0d4Zz09> , pw: 975453
Host: Arianna Curioni
Speaker: Prof. Agnieszka Wykowska<https://www.iit.it/people/agnieszka-wykowska> (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genova, Italy)<https://www.emilyliquin.com/>
Title: Using robots to understand human cognition
Abstract: As robots are believed to soon populate human environments, they have received enthusiastic support in the scientific community. Most research aims at designing robots for assisting humans in daily lives, healthcare, or elderly care. However, there is also a less explored way of using robots - robots as tools to understand human cognition. We take this approach in our lab in examining human socio-cognitive mechanisms in interaction. In this talk, I will present the work from our lab where we have examined whether and how social signals, such as gaze contact, initiated by a humanoid robot, influence attentional orienting, social decision making, or cognitive control. Our results showed, both at the behavioral and neural level, that social gaze modulates attention, efficiency in decision making, as well as adaptation to cognitive conflict. In addition, I will present our research related to the question of whether and under what conditions humans treat robots as social partners and intentional agents. A series of studies addressing vicarious sense of agency as well as joint action demonstrate that robots with a human-like shape evoke similar socio-cognitive mechanimsms similar to those that are evoked by other humans. I will discuss these results in a broader context of using robots at the service of psychological research.
Let me know if you would like to schedule an online meeting with the speaker.

A reminder of the talk tomorrow.
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET
Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2022
Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 942 7892 8352<https://us06web.zoom.us/j/94278928352?pwd=ckljaElMYnJtYW41b25sVGZNU09kQT09>, pw: xfhq44

Title: Infant learning and memory systems and impact on attention orienting
Abstract: Visual attention both guides and is guided by learning and memory systems. A great deal of research has shown that what is attended, and the development of visual attention, is critical for what is learned from a complex environment in infancy. In this talk, I will focus on the learning and memory mechanisms that in turn impact attention orienting. I will present data on reward learning and hierarchical rule learning in infancy. I will end with the idea that a multiple-memory systems approach offers a useful organizational structure for research on interactions between attention and memory.

Dear Colleagues,
The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce that the submission window for the 13th annual BCCCD meeting (BCCCD23) is now open. BCCCD23<https://bcccd.org/> will take place in Budapest, Hungary from 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 a much 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 events, such as workshops or tutorials, that would be relevant to the BCCCD audience.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission window open: 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 event 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.
