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 invites you to the following talk:
Ulf Liszkowski<https://www.psy.uni-hamburg.de/arbeitsbereiche/entwicklungspsychologie/pers…> (Universität Hamburg)
Ontogeny of human communication and social cognition
Understanding each other is a core feature of human psychology. Classic studies have focused on the acquisition of language and Theory of Mind in children. I argue that both skills emerge from an earlier ontogenetic basis, and I propose a developmental process of social construction that runs deep in ontogeny. I will first present evidence for a prelinguistic gestural basis of human communication entailing an understanding of shared reference around one year of age, notably when infants begin to point. Second, based on a series of recent studies, I will argue that this form of communication and social cognition is best characterized as an aligning of mental states, but not yet a confronting of different perspectives, which emerges in children’s spontaneous acts of misinforming and lying around 3 years of age. Third, I will present recent findings from the first year of life on the emergence of shared reference. These findings reveal simpler forms of understanding others’ referential communication before pointing has emerged; and predictors of pointing in caregivers’ interactive behaviours and infants’ object-directed activities. I propose the act of object transpositions as a source for developing shared reference. Ongoing research addresses developmental interactions with temperamental biases.

Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Jonathan Phillips<https://pbs.dartmouth.edu/people/jonathan-s-phillips> (Dartmouth College)
Knowledge without belief
I'll begin by reviewing a wide range of methods across cognitive science, which demonstrate that knowledge (rather than belief) is the more basic way of representing others' minds. I'll give particular focus to a growing series of studies that show (1) people can accurately evaluate others’ knowledge more quickly than they can evaluate their beliefs, (2) this difference extends to participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder and cannot be explained by pragmatic differences in knowledge and belief ascriptions, (3) this difference occurs cross-linguistically and cannot accounted for by differences in word frequency, (4) this difference also generalizes to the larger class of factive and non-factive attitudes (to which knowledge and belief respectively belong), and finally (5) using fMRI data, I'll show that the neural response that occurs when making evaluations of others’ beliefs is absent when making similar evaluations of knowledge. Together, these studies demonstrate that human adults can attribute or deny knowledge states without first evaluating belief states. At a broad level, I'll argue that these findings lend support to the view that knowledge representations are a basic and distinct way in which we understand others’ minds. I'll end by stepping back and outlining what I take to be the essential difference in format between knowledge and belief representations.

Dear All,
We are pleased to announce that *submissions are now open* for the XIV.
Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, which is devoted to the *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 behavioural 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 of Munich, Germany
Iain Couzin - Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, University of
Konstanz
Arianna Curioni - Vienna University of Technolog*y*, Austria
Bahar Köymen - University of Manchester, UK
Jennifer Misyak - University of Warwick, UK
Daniel Richardson - University College London, UK
Liran Samuni - Harvard University, US
We invite *poster submissions* from* all areas of* cognitive science. Both
theoretical and empirical posters are welcome.
You may submit your poster abstract here: https://ducog.cecog.eu/submit
*The deadline for abstract submission is 28 February 2023.*
Authors will be notified of acceptance of their abstracts by 15 March 2023.
For more information, please visit: <https://ducog.cecog.eu/>
