Szeretettel hívunk meg minden érdeklődőt a Kognitív Szeminárium következő
előadására, amelyet Illés Orsolya, a GAPS alapítvány elnöke, adja elő:
*Az ABA/VB (Applied Behavior Analysis/Verbal Behavior) program korszerű
alkalmazása autizmus spektrum zavarral élő gyermekek fejlesztésében*
2014. november 14., 14:00, Izabella utca 46, P3-as terem
Összefoglaló:
Az ABA/VB ma Észak-Amerikában és Nyugat-Európában is a szülők által
leghatékonyabbnak tartott, legnagyobb kutatási háttérrel rendelkező és
tudományosan legtöbbször igazolt terápiának számít az autista tüneteket
mutató, fejlődésükben emiatt korcsoportjuktól elmaradó gyermekek
fejlesztésében. Ennek ellenére itthon még kevéssé ismert, gyakran hibásan
kerül alkalmazásra, és rengeteg tévhit és előítélet övezi. Az előadás célja
az ABA/VB alapelveinek, módszertanának és korszerű alkalmazásának
bemutatása, ezzel remélhetőleg hozzájárulva a tévhitek eloszlatásához.
Tisztelt Kollégák,április végén egy kis búcsúrendezvényem lesz a Magyar
Pszichológiai Szemlétől búcsúzva mintegy.
Mindenkit szeretettel látunk

Call for Papers
The Future Logic - Contest at the 5th World Congress on Universal Logic -
Istanbul, June 2015
http://www.uni-log.org/future-of-logic
Deadline extension: May 4, 2015
Modern logic (starting with George Boole at the mid of the XIX century)
changed the world: it led to new understanding of reasoning, language,
mathematics. It gave new directions in philosophy and gave birth to
computation. After 150 years we may wonder what is the future of so
successful a science, nowadays much of the time in the shadow of its
multifaceted offsprings This contest wants to promote a reflexion on what
can be the future of logic considering its 150-years history. Here are a
few questions:
1) Will or can logic give a better understanding to sciences / fields such
as physics, biology, economics, music, information?
2) How will evolve the internal life of logic, its objectives and tools?
3) How will develop the interactions between logic and philosophy, logic
and mathematics, logic and computation?
To take part to the contest submit a paper of 10 to 15 pages by May 4,
2015 to:
unilog.contest2015(a)gmail.com
The best papers will be selected for presentation in a special session
during the event and a jury will decide during the event who are the
winners: gold, silver and bronze medals.
Members of the Jury are Patrick Blackburn, Walter Carnielli (president)
and John Corcoran. The prize is offered by Birkhäuser Science Basel,
Switzerland.

‘All about that bass’
Elephant vocal communication: sound production and adaptive context
Although living in substantially different habitats, African (Loxodonta sp.) and Asian (Elephas maximus) elephants are extremely social and intra-specific communication is highly developed in these species. In particular, elephants are very vocal and acoustic signals play an integral part within the society of African and Asian elephants.
Elephants make extensive use of vocalizations with fundamental frequencies in the infrasonic range and exhibit an interesting vocal plasticity (grading between call types, call type combinations, and sophisticated, context-dependent within-call type flexibility affecting all parameters including vocal tract resonance frequencies (formants). In addition, previously undocumented vocalizations sometimes emerge- mostly documented in captive elephants: sound invention and vocal imitation is apparent in both recent genera of Elephantidae.
In my talk I will discuss vocal production mechanisms and the function of infrasonic vocalizations and will further focus on the vocal learning ability of elephants, it’s neural bases and potential adaptive context.
