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.

``My research combines experimental and theoretical approaches and focuses on linguistic phenomena at the interface between semantics and pragmatics, such as scalar implicature, presupposition and metaphor. Lately, I am particularly interested in the acquisition of pragmatic abilities in typically and atypically developing children.``

Senior Lecturer
Psychology, Communication & Human Neuroscience
University of Manchester

Title: Failed studies - Past, present and future
Probing the evolutionary and developmental origins of social behaviour is an ambitious enterprise. An understanding of the cognitive and motivational processes underlying helpfulness on one hand and spitefulness on the other will give us greater insights into the evolution of human sociality. The work is as challenging as it is ambitious. Comparative and developmental psychologists use a variety of methods to infer cognition in non-linguistic animals and pre- (or unreliably) linguistic humans. These methods don't always work. In this talk I will open my desk drawer to share studies that did not work, are not working and probably won't work. My goal is to inspire discussion and perhaps resurrect the most interesting projects on chimpanzees as well as ravens, children and adults.
*Anyone not affiliated with CEU wishing to attend in-person in Vienna must RSVP here<https://forms.office.com/e/e1fWvBBCk9> to get access to the lecture hall.
