Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Tomer Ullman<https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/tomer-d-ullman> (Harvard)
The Physical Basis of Imagery and Imagination
Young children seem to have an early understanding of the world around them, and the people in it. Before children can reliably say "ball", "wall", or "Saul", they expect balls to not go through walls, and for Saul to go right for a ball (if there's no wall). There are different proposals out there for the cognitive computations that underlie this basic commonsense reasoning. I'll focus on one proposal in particular, and suggest that a "rough rendering and de-rendering" approach can explain early expectations about object solidity, cohesion, and permanence. From there I will expand the proposal to some more recent work on imagery and imagination, including non-commitment in imagery, and the importance of physical properties in visual pretense.
Date: Wednesday, May 17, 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> (pw: 471712)
Chair: Jonathan Kominsky
Let me know if you want to schedule a meeting with Tomer.
Best,
Barbu

Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Isabelle Dautriche<https://voynich.univ-amu.fr> (CNRS, Aix-Marseille University)
Elementary semantic abilities in non-human primates
Human languages share a number of universal architectural features, from atomic meaning properties (e.g., connectedness, Gärdenfors, 2000) to how these meanings combine to generate more complex senses (i.e., compositionality). In this talk, I will present the first results of a new research program investigating experimentally the cognitive origins of these shared features of language in non-human primates to determine whether these features reflect properties of the language faculty or rather domain-general forces potentially shared across cognitive systems and species. I will report three studies suggesting that baboons (Papio papio) (i) like to manipulate 'concepts' of the same shape as ours, (ii) can respond to negation-like operators <t, t>, (iii) report responses in a "compositional" manner.
Date: Wednesday, May 10, 2023
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET
Venue: D002-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712)

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.
Let Oana know, please, if you would like to schedule a meeting with the speaker.

Reka
