[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Departmental Colloquium by Thibaud Gruber - THURSDAY, 28 November - QS D-002 Tiered

by Andrea Jenei

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk. Speaker: Thibaud Gruber<https://www.unige.ch/cisa/center/members/gruber-thibaud/> <https://www.unige.ch/cisa/center/members/gruber-thibaud/> Title: An affective, behavioral and cognitive story of the evolution of communication and culture in humans and other great apes The studies of the evolution of language and culture are intertwined. Often, the same mechanisms – including the usual suspects such as imitation – are argued to be at the heart of the evolution of both. In addition, in the last decades, research on social learning in non-humans vs humans has largely focused on behavioral and cognitive processes, while research on non-human vs human communication has often opposed cognitive processes to emotional ones. These two approaches sometimes fall in the pitfall of looking for the one characteristic that makes us unique amongst other animals. In this talk, I want to focus on the commonalities between animal and human social learning, with the goal to braid together literature from social learning, affective development, and the evolution of communication. All three domains can be unified in an ABC model of social learning, which aims to provide a combined Affective, Behavioral and Cognitive approach to the acquisition of knowledge in a broad sense. Affect, for example through motivation or emotions, indeed colors our quest for knowledge and for knowledge transmission. I will rediscuss classic examples of the animal literature such as the vervet alarm call system or the acquisition of tool use in chimpanzees. The ABC framework also allows introducing continuity between so-called simple and complex cognitive processes, which makes it a more realistic pathway for their attribution to animals or non-verbal infants. As such it opens new avenues of research to resolve the debates on the evolution of communication and culture, particularly in our lineage. Thibaud Gruber is a primatologist and a comparative psychologist whose has been working over 15 years on the topics of the evolution of culture and communication in great apes and humans. After a Master in Cognitive Sciences at the ENS, Paris, he pursued a PhD in Psychology at the University of St Andrews, UK in 2011. He then obtained his Habilitation in Cognitive Sciences at the ENS, Paris, in 2018. He has held postdoctoral research positions at the University of Zürich, Neuchâtel and Geneva, funded by the Fyssen Foundation, the Marie Curie initiative of the European Commission, and the Swiss National Science Foundation. In 2020, thanks to an Eccellenza Fellowship from the SNSF, he has set up his own lab, the eccePAN lab (Ecology, Cognition, Communication, Emotion), at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, at the University of Geneva, with a joint position at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] talk by Francesco Guala on ‘BELIEF-LESS COORDINATION' - Thursday, Nov 14, 2024- 4pm (CET)

by Fanni Takatsy

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Speaker: Francesco Guala<https://sites.unimi.it/guala/> (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy) Time: 4pm (to 6 pm) CET Date: THURSDAY, 14th November 2024 Venue: D002 (QS Vienna) and Zoom: https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/97497562931?pwd=QyM6f1EIAyxLEa7MjQOmdWOubziToZ.1 Meeting ID: 974 9756 2931 Passcode: 382039 Chair: Thomas Wolf Title: BELIEF-LESS COORDINATION Abstract: Meta-representation does not always facilitate social interaction. I illustrate this claim focusing on the case of coordination in Hi-lo games, and conjecture that people coordinate using a mode of reasoning that does not require the representation of others’ beliefs. I compare this sort of belief-less reasoning with theories that appeal to limited meta-representation, and present evidence indicating that people employ both – with meta-representation being used less frequently in coordinative than in competitive tasks. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP to get access to the lecture hall.

It takes a few milliseconds for light to be transduced in photoreceptors and tens of milliseconds more for neuronal spikes to occur at successive levels of the visual hierarchy. These delays necessarily impact our abiity to perceive time. I will present examples of human time perception from two classes of tasks, duration estimation and perceived time of an event. In duration estimation, we have shown that observers are able to estimate the duration of an interval even when the onset of that interval is not explictly provided. In perceived time, we have shown that the perceived time of an event is influenced by other events in their temporal proximity, and that this perceived time varies across the visual field. A better understanding of our sensitivity to and biases in the perception of time is important to fully appreciate how well we understand our sensory environment. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must reply here<https://forms.office.com/e/HjaP91n2ep> to get access to the lecture hall.

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Nikhil Chaudhary<https://www.nikhilchaudhary.co.uk/>, Evolutionary Anthropologist based at the University of Cambridge Date: Thursday, February 8, 2024 (mind the unusual day please) Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D318 (QS Vienna) and Zoom: https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/94486731045?pwd=VCt1WGZnd1F0MkZleGYvaDRpWEg3Zz09<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/94486731045?pwd%3DVC…> Meeting ID: 944 8673 1045 Passcode: 328579 Chair: Christophe Heintz and Angarika Deb Title: Hunter-Gatherer Social Organisation and Behaviour: Implications for Mental Health Humans lived as hunter-gatherers for the vast majority of our species' history. Therefore, research with contemporary hunter-gatherer societies can offer insight into the evolution of our psychology and physiology. Drawing on my fieldwork with BaYaka hunter-gatherers from Congo, I will discuss the selection pressures that have shaped human social cognition and behaviour. I will focus on the communal living arrangements, egalitarian social organisation, and extensive cooperation, particularly in the domain of childrearing, which are normative across contemporary hunter-gatherer populations. I will also discuss how deviations from these features of sociality, which are commonplace in high-income industrialised societies, may increase our vulnerability to mental health disorders due to evolutionary mismatch-when an organism faces conditions that differ from those that some trait of the organism is adapted to, resulting in pathology or maladaptation. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/jbHch9J0Am> to get access to the lecture hall.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CDC Seminar: Yuyan Luo (University of Missouri), Wednesday, June 4, 4 pm

by Anna Kispal

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk. Yuyan Luo<https://psychology.missouri.edu/people/luo> (University of Missouri) Title: Exploring variation in infant cognition Abstract: Research on infant cognition has yielded a wealth of findings suggesting that infants start with initial knowledge of several core domains that capture critical aspects of the world, e.g., physical, psychological, sociomoral domains. In each domain, such core knowledge includes some early emerging concepts and/or principles (e.g., concepts of objects, force, agents, social agents and/or moral principles) that help point infants in the right directions for rapidly learning about the world. Most of the work so far has been on infants’ group-level performance, e.g., in looking-time tasks. I will present ours and others’ work that start to examine how individual characteristics and experiential factors may (or may not) impact infant knowledge about the physical and the social world. This will help us achieve a better understanding of variation in infant cognition and allow for evaluations of claims on the origins and development of early knowledge. Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2025 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D-002 (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712) Chair: Jonathan Kominsky Best, Anna *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOG…> <https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhAH…> to get access to the lecture hall. ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu
