Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following online talk.
Melissa Koenig<https://icd.umn.edu/melissa-koenig> (University of Minnesota)
Title: Children’s Testimonial Learning: Early Judgments of Epistemic and Moral Agency
Abstract: Children’s testimonial learning involves a sophisticated conception of human agency. Developmental research on children’s testimonial learning opened a window onto a form of reasoning aimed at identifying the intentions of epistemic and moral agents. Children’s testimonial reasoning takes both a critical interest in the reliability of sources, as well as a cooperative view of another person and her acts of communication. In this talk, I will focus on the role that social groups play in children’s epistemic judgements and discuss ongoing work in our lab that examines the epistemic and interpersonal trust children place in familiar others as marked by race, friendship and school contexts.
Date: Wednesday, January 22, 2024
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET
Venue: Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712)
Chair: Ágnes Kovács
Best,
Anna

by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science
Dear All,
We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the XVI.
Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science devoted to Understanding the Self
and the Other. The conference will take place between *22 and 25 May 2025* in
Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Distinguishing oneself from others is a precursor to the development of
many social skills, including coordination and communication. Representing
others’ perspectives, while still distinguishing it from our own is an
essential part of human interactions, and therefore of our mental lives.
This supports our understanding of ourselves and others around us – it
helps us make sense of what we are doing, make predictions, and plan our
subsequent actions appropriately. How do we learn to distinguish our bodies
and minds from those of other people, and what are the mechanisms and
relation between understanding ourselves and others? In this conference, we
will bring together researchers that have attempted to address this broad
question from different angles such as social-, developmental- and
comparative cognition and philosophy, to explore the topic of how we
understand and distinguish our own and others’ intentions, actions,
thoughts, and ultimately, self and other.
*Invited speakers will include:*
Josep Call (University of St Andrews)
Senay Cebioglu (MPI EVA)
Arvid Guterstam (Karolinska Institutet)
Marlene Meyer (Radboud University)
Elisabeth Pacherie (Institut Jean-Nicod, CNRS, EHESS, ENS-PSL)
Philippe Rochat (Emory University)
We invite poster submissions from all areas of cognitive science.
Both theoretical and empirical posters are welcome.
You may submit your poster abstract here: https://ducog.cecog.eu/submit
The deadline for abstract submission is 28 February 2025.
Authors will be notified of acceptance of their abstracts by 15 March 2025.
For more information please visit https://ducog.cecog.eu
or email us at: ducog(a)cecog.eu

We are unique in that we provide full financial coverage for our enrolled students and both an American and Austrian accredited degree at the completion of the thesis.
All the information about the application process is in the attached flyer and our deadline for application is February 4, 2025. If you are aware of any finishing Masters or even very bright undergraduate students in your environment who would be interested in research of cognitive science we would like to ask you to please call their attention to our program.
More information, including about upcoming Q&As for prospective students, can be found on our website: https://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/admission
Sincerely,
Jonathan F. Kominsky

Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Patricia A. Ganea<https://discover.research.utoronto.ca/23831-patricia-ganea> (University of Toronto)
Title: Mechanisms underlying counterfactual reasoning in development
Abstract: Counterfactual reasoning is the ability to think of alternative representations to what we know to be true about the world, by imagining what would have happened had a situation been different. The ability to contemplate changes to reality is a fundamental aspect of human cognition involved in learning and decision-making. To date, the developmental literature has focused mostly on when children become capable of reasoning counterfactually, with little attention to how or why children reason the way they do. Conclusions about when children begin to reason counterfactually are also mixed and are underlined by different theoretical assumptions. In this talk I will present a process-based account of counterfactual reasoning by highlighting the processes it shares with other hypothetical abilities and by characterizing the factors that influence children’s counterfactual judgements.
Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET
Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, passcode: 471712)
