[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Jesse Snedeker, Harvard University, July 4th, TUESDAY!!! - 3:30 pm: ``Who did what to whom? Marking event participants in Emerging Languages ``

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Jesse Snedeker,<https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/people/jesse-snedeker> Harvard University Date: Tuesday, July 4, 2023 (note the unusual day please) Time: 3:30 pm (to 5:00 pm) CET (note the unusual time please) Venue: D002- (QS Vienna) and Zoom https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/94044877942?pwd=clBVdjk5YUlBeE1Ua3RGdTU3TWpJZz09<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/94044877942?pwd%3Dcl…> Meeting ID: 940 4487 7942 Passcode: 393993 Chair: Eva Wittenberg Title: Who did what to whom? Marking event participants in Emerging Languages A central question in the study of any language is how it marks the role that each argument is playing in an event. A central question in linguistic typology is why some patterns of marking are more common than others. And central questions in language development are how these patterns are acquired, what they tell us about pre-linguistic conceptual structures and the degree to which the acquisition process shapes typology. Historically, two strong hypotheses have bridged typology and acquisition. The word-order hypothesis proposes that order is a cognitively salient cue, which is available to children before linguistic cues (like case or verbal agreement) and thus appears early in the emergence of a new language, though it may decline in importance over historical evolution as new devices are created. The agent-first hypothesis proposes that agents have a privileged role in event representations-either because they move first or because they are conceptually salient. This leads children to expect them to appear first in the sentence, resulting in a strong bias for agent-first word order in emerging languages, which persists in most languages with a preferred word order. Both hypotheses make strong predictions for emerging languages. While spoken language creoles conform to these predictions, this could simply reflect the word-order regularities inherited from the contact languages. Work on emerging sign languages offers a more mixed picture. ABSL and KQSL are typically described as SOV languages but have more variable word order when the patient is human. Studies of NSL have reached varying conclusions, in part because the stimuli that were used only rarely resulted in the production of both the agent and patient. In this talk, I'll present three lines of work bearing on these hypotheses: a published study on gestural language creation, some new data on transitive constructions in several dialects of Chinese Sign Language (lead by Hao Lin) and ongoing work on Nicaraguan Sign Language (lead by Annemarie Kocab). The results of all three programs undermine the word-order and agent-first hypotheses (at least in their simplest form). The findings however, strongly suggest that concepts like agent and patient guide the emergence of language. Our ongoing work explores this possibility more systematically. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhAH…> to get access to the lecture hall.

by jean-yves beziau

The Decision Problem for Effective Procedures - Celebration of the 120th anniversary of Alonzo Church Nathan Salmon (University of California at Santa Barbara), Gary Mar (State University of New York, Stony Brook), Melvin Fitting (CUNY Graduate Center) Logica Universalis Webinar 2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 14, 2023 at 4pm CET (Paris-Geneva-Rome) we will have one more session of the Logica Universalis Webinar (LUW). Nathan Salmón will present his recently published paper in Logica Universalis "The Decision Problem for Effective Procedures" https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/ Salmón was a former PhD student of the famous logician and founder of computer science Alonzo Church. Church was born June 14, 1903. We will therefore commemorate his 120th anniversary with a preliminary presentation by his last PhD student Gary R.Mar. The chair of the session will be Melvin Fitting. Nathan Salmón was also a long time friend and collaborator of Saul Kripke: https://www.simplycharly.com/read/interviews/naming-names-a-deep-dive-into-… At LUW we have before the main talk the presentation of an association related to the author or/and topic of the talk. The Kripke center was presented at the LUW session of August 11, 2021: https://youtu.be/piyvWZ5nOik This next LUW session June 14 will initiate a series where the preliminary talk is related to the anniversary of a famous logician. This is not indeed completely new, considering that the first session of LUW was for the celebration of the World Logic Day, January 14, 2021, the 120th anniversary of Alfred Tarski: http://www.logica-universalis.org/wld3 Everybody is welcome to attend the next LUW session June 14, register here: https://www.springer.com/journal/11787/updates/23910922 Jean-Yves Beziau Editor-in-Chief Logica Universalis President of LUA (Logica Universalis Association) http://www.logica-universalis.org/LUAD

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Departmental Colloquium: Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean Nicod) - June 7th at 4 pm, QS D-002

by Andrea Jenei

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center invites you to the following talk: Elisabeth Pacherie<http://www.institutnicod.org/membres/membres-statutaires/pacherie-elisabeth…> (Institut Jean Nicod)<http://www.institutnicod.org/membres/membres-statutaires/pacherie-elisabeth…> Commitments and the Sense of Joint Agency While an important body of work in philosophy and psychology has emphasized the importance of commitments in joint action, existing philosophical and empirical investigations of the experience of acting together have devoted little attention to the role that commitments might play in the emergence of a sense of joint action. I propose to explore three complementary ways in which commitments may shape the sense of joint agency and its main characteristics. First commitments may contribute to the generation of the sense of joint agency by stabilizing expectations and improving predictability. Second, commitments have a normative element that entitles the recipient of the commitment to perform regulatory actions—e.g., protesting—when the author fails to fulfill the expectations generated by their commitment. Such an entitlement may bolster an agent’s sense of control over the joint action and help counterbalance the potentially disruptive effects of asymmetries among agents on the experience of joint agency. Finally, commitments may contribute to make acting jointly emotionally rewarding, both instrumentally, by improving coordination and making it easier to achieve desired outcomes, and intrinsically, by fostering circumstances under which shared emotions emerge among co-agents. Date: Wednesday, June 7, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D002-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 938 0308 2644 , passcode: 583553 ) Chair: Günther Knoblich *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] {Filename?} Symposium for Individual Differences in Cognition

by Kristof Kovacs

I am delighted to announce SIDIC, a new “pre-Psychonomics satellite” symposium which is organised for the first time this year. See details below. Best wishes, Kristof Hello everyone, We are excited to share the news that this year at Psychonomics there will be a new affiliate meeting, the Symposium for Individual Differences in Cognition (SIDIC). SIDIC will be dedicated to communicating research on individual differences in cognition, broadly construed, providing an outlet for the international community of cognitive psychologists to present and discuss their work on inter-individual variation in mental processes, phenomena, and abilities. The symposium will embrace a wide spectrum of topic areas, from perception and attention to language comprehension and reasoning, and it will broadly foster a culture of diversity and inclusion, featuring contributions from younger investigators as well as established scientists. The inaugural SIDIC meeting will take place on Thursday, November 16, immediately preceding the Psychonomic Society annual meeting, in the same venue. We are delighted that Dr. Nora Newcombe will deliver our Keynote address. Registration and abstract submissions will open on July 1. For more information, please visit our website: Welcome | SIDIC 2023 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcaliberla…> caliberlab.wixsite.com <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcaliberla…> <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcaliberla…> <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcaliberla…> Please forward this announcement to any colleagues/students who may also be interested in attending SIDIC.
