[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Online CDC Seminar: Paul Smaldino (UC Merced), 4 pm on Wednesday April 12

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Paul Smaldino<https://smaldino.com/wp/> (UC Merced) Dynamics of Covert Signaling: Modeling the Emergence and Extinction of Identity Signals Seemingly arbitrary cues—be they linguistic, sartorial, or behavioral—can come to serve as markers of group membership. However, such markers are only effective if the benefits of using them outweigh the costs of being recognized by hostile outgroups, as is the case often faced by oppressed minorities, political dissidents, and others in an increasingly polarized society. I will present mathematical and computational modeling, along with motivating empirical work, to show how stable identity signals can be disrupted, leading to cyclical lifespans or even the total suppression of effective group markers as the potential cost of being identified by a hostile outgroup increases. I will then discuss implications for our understanding of communication and the censorship of dissent in both on- and offline communities. Date: Wednesday, April 12, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09><https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, pw: 471712 Chair: Gergely Csibra If you want to schedule a meeting with Paul, indicate your interest and availability here<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e5R74Bqa>.

[Koglist] Announcing the 14th annual BCCCD in Budapest, Hungary, January 4-6, 2024

by Gergely Csibra

Dear Colleagues, The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce the 14th annual BCCCD meeting<https://www.bcccd.org/> in Budapest, Hungary (January 4-6, 2024). INVITED SPEAKERS Sandra Waxman<https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/sandra-wax…> (Northwestern University) Martin Giurfa<https://cbi-toulouse.fr/eng/equipe-giurfa-devaud> (Centre de Biologie Intégrative, Toulouse) Victoria Southgate<https://psychology.ku.dk/staff/academic_staff/?pure=en/persons/520019> (University of Copenhagen) Alongside our invited program, we welcome symposium, talk, and poster submissions reporting studies from all fields of cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings featured a wide range of topics, such as communication, pragmatics, social cognition, conceptual development, language acquisition, numeracy, object cognition, perceptual learning, inductive learning, memory, executive function, metacognition, cognitive bases of culture, and comparative cognition. This year we have unified the reviewing process and will have a single deadline for all symposium, talk, and poster submissions. Authors can elect to have talk submissions considered for posters as well. You can find the timeline of the submission and review process below or at this link: https://bcccd.org/timeline.htm We also welcome proposals for half-day pre-conference workshops or tutorials relevant to the BCCCD audience. IMPORTANT DATES Submission opens: June 20, 2023 Submission deadline: September 3, 2023 Pre-conference workshop submission deadline: October 1, 2023 Notification of decision*: October 31, 2023 Registration opens: November 1, 2023 *For authors who require visa to attend we can provide a letter to support your visa application shortly after the submission deadline. We expect to hold BCCCD24 entirely in-person in Budapest. While we will provide live-streams and recordings of talks and an online repository for posters that will be accessible to registered attendees, we are not planning any online discussion space or interaction next year. Of course, if there is a drastic change in global health conditions in the months leading up to the conference, we have contingency plans to transition to an online format, and we will keep you appraised of any developments as they occur. While CEU has relocated much of its operations to Vienna, we would like to reassure all prospective participants that we are committed to maintaining the tradition of the Budapest campus of CEU as the site of BCCCD meetings in 2024 and for the forseeable future. We hope to see you there! Jonathan F. Kominsky and Magdalena Roszkowski BCCCD24 Conference chairs

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Online CDC Seminar: Sophie Bridgers (MIT, Harvard), 4 pm on Wednesday March 29

by Barbu Revencu

Dear all, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk: Sophie Bridgers<https://scsb.mit.edu/sophie-bridgers-phd/> (MIT, Harvard) Loopholes: A window into goal communication and value alignment Finding and exploiting a loophole, a possible but unintended interpretation of a rule or request, is a familiar facet of fable, law, and everyday life. A child may respond to their parent who says “It’s time to put the tablet down” by continuing to play with the tablet after physically putting it down on the floor. Engaging with loopholes requires a nuanced understanding of goals, social ambiguity, and value alignment and offers a new lens through which to examine human communication and cooperation. In this talk, I will first present a proposal for a formal framework of goal communication that supports intentional misunderstandings. Second, I will share a series of experiments with children and adults that (1) reveal that loophole behavior emerges around age five and is prevalent and diverse in parent-child and adult-adult interactions, and (2) indicate that adults and children evaluate loopholes more leniently than outright non-compliance, as well as predict that others will exploit loopholes when there is a pressure to cooperate but goals are in conflict. I will conclude with a discussion of the development of loophole behavior, and its implications for improving communication among humans, as well as for safer human-AI interactions. Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: Online, Zoom meeting 969 2496 5784<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09><https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/96924965784?pwd=c2duZ0dDMFdEMUthK2Mwa2wzMllEUT09>, pw: 471712 Chair: Barbu Revencu Let me know if you would like to schedule a meeting with Sophie.

[Koglist] Re: [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Nausicaa Pouscoulous (UCL), Wednesday March 1, 4 pm

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, The typo is corrected! The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk by: Nausicaa Pouscoulous<https://www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/people/nausicaa-pouscoulous>, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, UCL Date: Wednesday, March 1, 2023 Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) Zoom https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/98297897442?pwd=OWg1SXZPeXdUUi9ERjRSOHZ1SnRwUT09 Meeting ID: 982 9789 7442, Passcode: 063901 Chair: Christophe Heintz What develops in children's pragmatics? Research is divided on how good young children's pragmatic abilities really are. On the one hand, much evidence suggests pragmatics play a grounding role in the development of communication and language acquisition. On the other hand, linguistic pragmatic inferences such as implicatures, metaphor or irony seem to develop later than other linguistic abilities. To bridge the gap between the impressive pragmatic inferential skills found in toddlers and the difficulties observed in preschoolers I will argue that several factors - independent from children's pragmatic abilities per se - may explain children's apparent struggle with pragmatic phenomena such as metaphor or implicatures. There is an exception, nonetheless: irony comprehension is consistently found only during school age. To explain this discrepancy, I will present a novel account of irony understanding (Mazzarella & Pouscoulous), in which epistemic vigilance is central. *Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/3HfVNHJrVD> to get access to the lecture hall. Let me know if you would like to schedule a meeting with the speaker.
