[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Josh Rottman, Franklin and Marshall College, US- May 3, 4 pm: ``Do children's and adults’ epistemic tendencies cultivate echo chambers? ``

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Josh Rottman<https://www.fandm.edu/josh-rottman>, Franklin and Marshall College, US Date: Wednesday, May 3, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: Room QS B511 (Mind the new location, please)and Zoom: https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/93685657805?pwd=NTYwRWRkV2hneHMraGRiSzc2dWp0Zz09<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/93685657805?pwd%3DNT…> Meeting ID: 936 8565 7805 Passcode: 294427 Chair: Oana Stanciu Title: Do children's and adults’ epistemic tendencies cultivate echo chambers? Children are selective learners who prioritize testimony from ingroup members and who are prone to conform to group norms. While these dispositions are generally adaptive, they have the potential to exacerbate closed epistemic systems in which preexisting beliefs are amplified while opposing beliefs are discredited. Furthermore, these biases might be reflectively endorsed in some situations. I will begin this talk with a short overview of how selective social learning tends to unfold, after which I will turn to focus on two new studies exploring children’s and adults’ evaluations of whether others ought to pursue accuracy motives or social motives in intergroup contexts. My findings indicate that children value curiosity and belief updating even when these processes threaten to contravene ingroup identities, thus suggesting that echo chambers are not reflectively desired. However, this clear valuation of truth-seeking becomes more nuanced as children mature into adults with strong allegiances to ideologically-defined ingroups. I will conclude the talk by discussing implications for modern tendencies toward belief polarization. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/6is40q9AXh> to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Michael Tomasello (Duke University), Wednesday March 22, 4 pm

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Michael Tomasello<https://scholars.duke.edu/person/michael.tomasello>, Duke University Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96941663350?pwd=VEoyVkZkZEpLTnVtcVdCSzV2WGtrUT09 Meeting ID: 969 4166 3350 Passcode: 561210 Chair: Gergely Csibra Title: Agency and Cognitive Development Abstract: Modern theories explain children's cognitive development mainly in term of Bayesian learning. But learning cannot be the whole story or else children could learn anything at any age - which they cannot. They cannot because their capacities to learn, think, and cognitively represent the world take place within the context of the human species' evolved psychological architecture, and this architecture changes in significant ways over the first years of life. The main organizing principle of this psychological architecture is agency (including shared agency), and developmental changes are due to the emergence of different types of agentive architecture over time. In a word: young infants (below 9 months) cognitively represent and learn about actualities; toddlers executively represent and learn also about causal, intentional, and logical possibilities; and preschoolers (over 3 years) metacognitively represent and learn also about normative necessities. This cognitive-developmental model recognizes the important role of learning, but at the same time places it in the context of the overall psychological organization of children at particular development periods. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/qkcxWD4FqV> to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] Registration now open: DUCOG2023 - Mechanisms of Collective Decision-making for Cooperative Actions

by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science

Dear All, Registration is now open <https://ducog.cecog.eu/registration/registration> 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. Register by 30 April 2023 to receive the early bird discounts. 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 Technology, Austria Ophelia Deroy - Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany Bahar Köymen - University of Manchester, UK Jennifer Misyak - University of Warwick, UK Liran Samuni - Harvard University, US For more information, please visit: <https://ducog.cecog.eu/> https://ducog.cecog.eu/ or email us at ducog(a)cecog.eu.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Online CDC Seminar: Paul Smaldino (UC Merced), 4 pm on Wednesday April 12

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Paul Smaldino<https://smaldino.com/wp/> (UC Merced) Dynamics of Covert Signaling: Modeling the Emergence and Extinction of Identity Signals Seemingly arbitrary cues—be they linguistic, sartorial, or behavioral—can come to serve as markers of group membership. However, such markers are only effective if the benefits of using them outweigh the costs of being recognized by hostile outgroups, as is the case often faced by oppressed minorities, political dissidents, and others in an increasingly polarized society. I will present mathematical and computational modeling, along with motivating empirical work, to show how stable identity signals can be disrupted, leading to cyclical lifespans or even the total suppression of effective group markers as the potential cost of being identified by a hostile outgroup increases. I will then discuss implications for our understanding of communication and the censorship of dissent in both on- and offline communities. Date: Wednesday, April 12, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09><https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, pw: 471712 Chair: Gergely Csibra If you want to schedule a meeting with Paul, indicate your interest and availability here<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e5R74Bqa>.
