[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CEU CDC seminar: Julian Jara-Ettinger, tomorrow, 17:00

by Katarina Begus

Dear all, Please join us tomorrow (in Nador 15, room 103!) for the CEU Department of Cognitive Science talk by: *Julian Jara-Ettinger (MIT)* *Date: *Wednesday, July 19th, 2017 – 17:00-18:30 *Host:* Gergo Csibra *Location - CHANGED:* Nador 15, Room 103. *The inner life of goals: costs, rewards, and commonsense psychology* By kindergarten, our knowledge of agents has unfolded into a powerful intuitive theory that enables us to thrive in our social world. In this talk I will propose that children build their commonsense psychology around a basic assumption that agents choose goals and actions by quantifying, comparing, and maximizing utilities. This naïve utility calculus captures much of the rich social reasoning we engage in from early childhood. I explore this theory in a series of experiments looking at children's ability to infer costs and rewards given partial information, their reasoning about knowledgeable versus ignorant agents, their ability to interpret ambiguous utterances, and their reasoning about the moral status of agents. Moreover, a formal model of this theory, embedded in a Bayesian framework, predicts with quantitative accuracy how humans make cost and reward attributions. The theory also offers insights into a range of other phenomena in commonsense psychology that, on the surface, do not appear to involve utility maximization.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: July 5, Wednesday: Andreas Nieder: Coding of numerical quantity in the primate brain, with special reference to zero.

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Andreas Nieder (Institute of Neurobiology, Dept. of Biology, University of Tübingen, Germany) Date: Wednesday, July 5th, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Barbara Pomiechowska Coding of numerical quantity in the primate brain, with special reference to zero. Andreas Nieder Institute of Neurobiology, Dept. of Biology, University of Tübingen, Germany Findings in animal cognition, developmental psychology and anthropology indicate that the ability to deal with numbers is rooted in nonverbal biological primitives. Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network, 'number neurons' encode the number of elements in a set, its 'numerosity', irrespective of stimulus appearance across sensory-motor systems, and from both spatial and temporal presentation arrays. While the coding of the number of items in a set is already abstract and demanding, representing empty sets, 'nothing', as a relevant and quantitative category is even more challenging. For that reason, the empty set and the zero are latecomers both in human history and ontogeny. I will argue that precursors of zero are already present in the behavior and neuronal responses of nonhuman primates. Our single-neuron data suggest a parieto-frontal processing hierarchy along which empty sets are steadily detached from visual properties and gradually positioned in a numerical continuum. These findings elucidate not only how the brain encodes the quantity of countable items, but also how it transforms 'nothing' into an abstract quantitative category, 'zero'.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Talk by Hugo Mercier - 23 June, 5:00-6:30 / N15 103

by Eszter Salamon

Dear All, this is a kind reminder that Hugo Mercier will be giving a talk Today at 17:00-18:30 in Nador 15, Room 103. Cognitive obstacles to the spread of counter-intuitive beliefs. Many beliefs of great practical import face difficulties spreading in the general population—beliefs in the efficacy of vaccination, in the dangers caused by global warming, in the safety of GMOs, and so forth. It can be argued that the primary obstacle these beliefs face is that they violate some of our intuitions—that injecting something drawn from someone sick into someone healthy is a bad idea, for instance. However, there are cognitive mechanisms designed to overcome any negative initial reaction one might have towards counter-intuitive beliefs—in particular, mechanisms of trust and argumentation. It has been suggested that these mechanisms work rather poorly: that people are either not deferential enough, or are too deferential, that they accept too many or too few arguments. I will argue on the contrary that these mechanisms work, on the whole, very well, and can make people accept counter-intuitive beliefs. I will point to another obstacle in the spread of counter-intuitive beliefs: the difficulties faced by people who have accepted these beliefs to convince others in turn. I will present a series of experiments showing that people who have accepted a counter-intuitive belief on the basis of trust or argumentation can find it difficult to produce arguments that would convince someone else to accept this belief. These difficulties should hinder the spread of counter-intuitive beliefs in the general population. __________________________________ Dr. John Michael Assistant Professor Department of Philosophy, University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL, UK & Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University Oktober 6 Utca 7, 1051-Budapest, Hungary Web: https://warwick.academia.edu/JohnMichael ______________________________________________ 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
