[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 25, Wednesday: Cecilia M. Heyes (University of Oxford) - The cultural evolution of cultural learning

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Cecilia M. Heyes (University of Oxford) Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 NEW Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101. The cultural evolution of cultural learning All Souls College and Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford Cultural learning is the subset of social cognitive processes that enable cumulative cultural evolution; they allow humans to pass information from one generation to the next, and thereby to invent artefacts, develop institutions, and accumulate bodies of knowledge that go well beyond the cognitive capacities of individuals or temporally isolated groups. In common with ‘High Church evolutionary psychologists’, cultural evolutionists typically assume that the mechanisms underlying cultural learning are innate modules; that they evolved by genetic means as adaptations for cultural inheritance. In contrast, I will suggest in this talk that some of the most important mechanisms of cultural learning – those involved in imitation, mindreading, and teaching – are themselves products of cultural evolution. Examining evidence from comparative and developmental psychology, and from cognitive neuroscience, I will argue that we learn from others how to learn from others. - See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2015-03-25/departmental-colloquium-c… We're looking forward to see you there (Oktober 6 street 7, 101) !

[Koglist] Reminder - ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Dana Samson - Unpacking the cognitive and neural processes underlying Theory of Mind

by Petia Kojouharova

ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Dana Samson - Unpacking the cognitive and neural processes underlying Theory of Mind Place: ELTE-PPK, Institute of Psychology, Izabella utca 46, room 403 Time: April 3rd, 2015 (Friday), 10:30 When trying to make sense of other people's behaviour we usually invoke their mental states, such as their intentions, beliefs or emotions; an ability usually referred to by the umbrella term "Theory of Mind". In my talk, I will show the important role that neuropsychology plays in unravelling the cognitive and neural basis of Theory of Mind. I will illustrate this by showing how cases of adults with acquired brain lesions can help us tease apart the different mechanisms that underlie mind reading abilities and can help us understand the nature of these mechanisms. In the first part of the talk, I will report cases of patients who suffer a selective deficit in self-perspective inhibition and show that their deficit cannot be explained by general cognitive control difficulties. In the second part of the talk, I will report cases of patients who suffer a selective deficit in tracking spontaneously other people's beliefs and will discuss these findings in relation to the current debate about the automaticity of belief processing.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Emily Wyman (The University of Nottingham), Wednesday April 1, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science [NEW Venue from March 2015!]

by Dora Kampis

Dear All, This is a reminder that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Emily Wyman (The University of Nottingham) Date: Wednesday, April 1, 2015, 5 PM NEW Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101. Title: An Evolutionary Perspective on Human Cooperation: Children and Chimpanzees in Coordination Problems Humans cooperate with a striking array of partners on activities that range from moving furniture to combating global climate change. Typically, our cooperative behavior and psychology have been investigated using ‘social dilemma models’ that examine how people cooperate in the face of personal temptations to ‘free ride’ (to reap the benefits of others’ cooperation without investing substantially). Another model, known as the ‘coordination problem’, examines how cooperative action can emerge when it is in the strategic interests of all, but requires convergence on one of multiple cooperative solutions. A series of experiments will be summarized that investigate the behavior of children and our closest evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees, in coordination problems. Main results will point to striking similarities, as well as species-divergence, in evolved coordination capacities. The social-cognitive mechanisms utilized by children to coordinate will then be explored in more detail with reference to, for example, Theory of Mind, different types of communication, and social group identity. This is intended to provide some traction on the problem of how human cooperation has become conventionalized and institutionalized over evolutionary history. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.
