The next talk in the CDC seminar series will be given by
Alison Gopnik, University of California, Berkeley
Date: Wednesday, April 27, 5 PM
Location: Cognitive Development Center at CEU, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor
*Causal and probabilistic learning and theory of mind*
Abstract: In earlier work, we applied a causal Bayes net approach to
instances of physical causality, like the "blicket detector". But children's
theories of psychological causality are equally if not more important. I
will report several studies that investigate the role of causal learning in
psychological understanding. In one series of studies we explore how
children use causal learning to segment human action into meaningful units.
In a second series we explore the relation between imitative learning and
causal learning. And in a final set of studies we explore how causal
learning plays a role in the development of children's attributions of
actions to either situations or traits.

Neurocognitive determinants of perceptual awareness in adults and infants
Abstract:
I will present empirical data using behavioral and/or neuroimaging
studies in human adults and infants. My talk will mainly focuses on 4
topics. First, I will talk about the extent and limits of subliminal
perception, in terms of both behavioral and neural influences;
Secondly, I will present new approaches to perception without
awareness through emotional information induced by crowded videos.
Third, I will present some methods for measuring perceptual awareness
in infants; Finally, I will focus on the existence of consciousness
without attention/access, and discuss the alternative partial
awareness hypothesis.
