[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. Time: 16:00, Thursday, 28 November 2024 Location: Vienna Campus, Quellenstrasse 51, Room : QS D-002 Tiered Zoom: Meeting ID: 984 1754 5209<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/98417545209?pwd=909i0Oc5aydidvanERaSfHkbKzEZmh.1> Passcode: 041432 Hosts: Thomas Ganzetti and Günther Knoblich Best regards, Andi ______________________________________________ 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

[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.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Pascal Mamassian (CNRS & Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris), Wednesday February 14, 4 pm: ``Measurements of perceived time of visual events``

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to the following talk by: Pascal Mamassian<https://lsp.dec.ens.fr/en/member/647/pascal-mamassian>, CNRS & Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2024 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D001 (QS Vienna) and Zoom: https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/99828555100?pwd=S2Y4VnRMTEFHMitWeWk4bnB0SGdXQT09<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/99828555100?pwd%3DS2…> Meeting ID: 998 2855 5100 Passcode: 393080 Chair: Jozsef Fiser Title: Measurements of perceived time of visual events Abstract: Visual perception is not instantaneous. 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. Let Jozsef know, please, if you would like to schedule a meeting with the speaker.
