MAKOG 2010 Konferencia felhívás

by Lukacs Agnes

Kedves Kollégák, Kérjük továbbítsátok és hirdessétek más fórumokon is, ahol érdeklődésre tarthat számot, üdvözlettel, Lukács Ágnes KONFERENCIAFELHÍVÁS *XVIII. MAKOG * *Interfészek a megismeréstudományban* A megismeréskutatás visszatérő kérdése a kognitív rendszerek kapcsolata. Előtérben áll ez a moduláris feldolgozással kapcsolatos vitákban, felmerül az idegtudományi plaszticitás értelmezéseiben, de ugyanígy a modern nyelvészet komponensek közötti viszonyokat kereső felfogásában is. A konferenciára olyan előadásokat várunk melyek ezt a témát érintik, a legtágabban értelmezve, vagyis ideértve a megismerőfunkciók közötti kapcsolatokat, a modalitások közötti átjárást, a tudományterületek közötti együttműködést egyaránt. Elsősorban a megadott témakörben várjuk a jelentkezéseket, de ettől eltérő tematikájú előadásokat is szívesen látunk. A konferencia ideje: *2010. január 25-26* (hétfő-kedd) A konferencia helyszíne: *Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem* A konferenciára való jelentkezés határideje: *2009. december 1.* A legfeljebb egyoldalas előadáskivonatokat egy név nélküli és egy neveket is tartalmazó példányban a következő emailcímre kérjük: makog2010(a)cogsci.bme.hu A hazai kognitív tudomány módszertani finomodását, az aktív kognitív mester és doktori programokat figyelve úgy érezzük, hogy megérett a helyzet ahhoz, hogy közel két évtizedes múlt után kivonatokon alapuló valódi anoním szelekciót alkalmazó elbírálást használjunk. A kivonatnak kísérleti munkákat bemutató előadások esetében hipotéziseket és eredményeket kell tartalmaznia, az elméleti előadásoknál pedig a kiinduló keret(ek) bemutatásán túl az előadás új hozzájárulását emelje ki. A kivonatokat két független bíráló pontozza, a bírálatok elkészítésének várható időpontja 2009. december 20.

reminder invitation to a talk on `Assumptions,Premises and Antecedents` - 17 November, 4.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Vladan Djordjevic (University of Belgrade) on Assumptions, Premises and Antecedents Tuesday, 17 November 2009, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT The distinction between the notions in the title, if followed by an appropriate pragmatic theory, can be more useful than it is usually recognized. I will explain the distinction and try to show its explanatory power through an examination of three well known paradoxes (the fatalism paradox, the so called direct argument, and a counterexample to modus ponens). For each of the paradoxes many different and often unrelated solutions have been proposed. I will argue that by using the distinction we can explain away all three of them.

BBS: Call for Commentary Proposals, Machery

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: When a recent book has been accepted for BBS Mutiple Book Review, the editorial office sends out the Call for Commentary Proposals to thousands of people. Commentary Proposals help the BBS Editors craft a well-balanced commentary invitation list. If this book interests you as a possible subject for commentary, please download the full précis article pre-print to see if you would like to propose a commentary. If you are interested please follow the instructions below the book information. Please keep in mind that we are not asking you to submit a commentary -- but rather, a short proposal in order to be considered as an invited author after the proposal deadline. Please also be aware that we typically get far more proposals than we can accept. NOW ACCEPTING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Book: "Doing Without Concepts" (published by Oxford University Press 2009) Authors: Edouard Machery Deadline for proposals: December 7, 2009 Abstract: The study of concepts is in an odd state of disarray. Cognitive scientists working on categorization, induction, and reasoning have discovered a dazzling amount of phenomena. New work on prototypes in the 1990s and early 2000s, innovative ideas on causal cognition in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the development of the neo-empiricist approach that assimilates the tokening of a concept to a multi-modal perceptual simulation, and the promising growth of the neuropsychology of concepts have rejuvenated the field. At the same time, this extraordinary amount of findings has yet to be organized in a coherent theoretical framework. The current theories of concepts-prototype theories, exemplar theories, theory theories, and neo-empiricist theories-fail to explain all the known phenomena, and there is very little agreement about what concepts are. Doing without Concepts attempts to provide such a theoretical framework. In this article, I review the main points and arguments developed at greater length in Doing without Concepts, and I conclude that abandoning the very notion of concept is probably required to remedy the state of disarray of the current psychology of concepts. Keywords: concept, category, categorization, induction, concept combination, dissociation, empiricism, eliminative argument, natural kind. Download précis article pre-print: http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Machery_Preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting upon, 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book.+ + Including your relevant expertise saves the Editors valuable time when evaluating proposals. If this requirement is missing, your proposal will be returned for resubmission. Please include names and affiliations of your potential co-authors if applicable. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate. If you are not a BBS Associate, please follow the instructions below. To suggest others as possible Commentators, or to nominate others for BBS Associateship status, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Inst/Assoc HOW TO SUBMIT A COMMENTARY PROPOSAL If you would like to nominate yourself for potential commentary invitation, you must submit a Commentary Proposal via our BBS Editorial Manager site: 1.

Call for papers: "Cognitive Social Sciences---Grounding the Social Sciences in the Cognitive Sciences?"

by Professor Ron Sun

The workshop on "Cognitive Social Sciences---Grounding the Social Sciences in the Cognitive Sciences?" http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun/wsp2010.html to be held at CogSci 2010 in Portland, Oregon, on August 11, 2010. This workshop is aimed at exploring the cognitive (psychological) basis of the social sciences and the possibilities of grounding the social sciences in cognition (psychology). Cognitive sciences have made tremendous strides in recent decades. In particular, computational cognitive modeling (i.e., computational psychology; Sun, 2008; Thagard, 1996) has changed the ways in which cognition/psychology is explored and understood in many profound respects. There have been many models of cognition/psychology proposed in the cognitive sciences (broadly defined), leading to detailed understanding of many cognitive/psychological domains and functionalities. Empirical psychological research has also progressed to provide us with much better understanding of many psychological phenomena. Given the advances in the cognitive sciences, can we leverage the successes for the sake of better understanding social processes and phenomena? More fundamentally, can the cognitive sciences (including experimental cognitive psychology, computational psychology, social- personality psychology, developmental psychology, cultural psychology, psycholinguistics, philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience, and so on) provide a better foundation for important disciplines of the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, ethics, as well as some "humanity" fields: religious studies, history, legal studies, literary studies, communication, and so on)? Thus far, although very much a neglected topic, there nevertheless have been various efforts at exploring this topic. Some of the efforts were computationally motivated (see, e.g., Sun, 2006: "Cognition and multi-agent interaction", published by Cambridge University Press). Some other efforts are more empirical or theoretical in nature (see, e.g., Turner, 2001: "Cognitive Dimensions of Social Science", published by Oxford University Press). There are both theoretical and practical rationales for developing "cognitive social sciences" (see Turner, 2001; Sun, 2006; DiMaggio, 1997; Tetlock and Goldgeier, 2000; Camerer, 2003). We contend that the social sciences may find their future in the cognitive sciences (at least in part), which may well lead to a powerful and productive combined intellectual enterprise. This combination or grounding may provide the social sciences with imaginative scientific research programs, hybridization/integration, new syntheses, novel paradigms/ frameworks, and so on, besides providing the cognitive sciences new data sources and problems to address. The presentation and discussion at this workshop may lead to a collection of major work in the form of a well edited book to be published by a major academic publisher. Confirmed keynote speakers: Pascal Boyer Paul Thagard Mark Turner Submission: For regular oral presentation, please submit a paper of 3-8 pages, in the usual CogSci conference format (as specified at: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun/wsp2010 ). Please email the submission to: rsun at rpi dot edu For short oral or poster presentation, please submit an extended abstract of 1 page, in the usual CogSci conference format (as specified at: http://www.cogsci.rpi.edu/~rsun/wsp2010 ).

Emlékeztető - BME Kognitív Szemináriumsorozat

by Keresztes Attila

A BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék szeretettel vár mindenkit tanszéki szemináriumsorozatának *következő előadásá*ra: *!!!MÓDOSULT az előadás kezdési IDŐPONTJA!!! A szokásos 12:00 helyett 13:00-kor kezdődik. * November 16., hétfő, 13:00-14:00 BME, XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320.-as terem. *Pajkossy Péter* PhD hallgató BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék /Aggodalmaskodás és vonásszorongás ellentétes hatása az emlékezeti teljesítményre és a figyelemre / absztrakt: A szorongás gyakori és jól ismert velejárója a mindennapi életünknek, de mint tudományos fogalom, számos különböző felfogása létezik. Az egyik legelterjedtebb konceptualizálása a vonásszorongás, mely arra vonatkozó hajlamunkat jelenti, hogy stressz/veszély esetén milyen mértékben mutatjuk a szorongás vegetatív és kognitív tüneteit. Egy másik, szorongásos zavarokhoz köthető jelenség az aggodalmaskodás, mely olyan negatív gondolatok láncolata, melyek jövőbeli averzív eseményekre irányulnak (Borkovec, Ray & Stober, 1998). A túlzott és kontrollálhatatlan aggodalmaskodás vezető tünet a Generalizált Szorongásos Zavarban és összefüggésbe hozható a szomatizációs tünetekkel is (Brosschot, Gerin & Thayer, 2006). Az előadás során 3 kutatás eredményeit fogom bemutatni, melyekben azt vizsgáltam, milyen hatással van a vonásszorongás és az aggodalmaskodás az emlékezeti teljesítményre illetve a figyelmi gátlás egy speciális formájára (Inhibition of Return-visszatérési gátlás). Továbbá kitérek arra, hogy ezen eredmények mit jelenthetnek az aggodalmaskodás hátterében álló idegrendszeri folyamatok tekintetében. bővebb info itt <http://cogsci.bme.hu/Esem.php?esemIndex=100> -- Attila Keresztes PhD student Budapest University of Technology and Economics Dept. of Cognitive Science, Stoczek u. 2, Budapest 1111, Hungary Tel & Fax: +36 1 4631072
