BME kognitív szeminárium most hétfőn – BME cognitive lecture this monday

by attila keresztes

A BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék szeretettel vár mindenkit tanszéki szeminárium sorozatának most hétfői előadására: The Department of Cognitive Science at BME cordially invites you to the next talk in its lecture series: *On the causes of multi-stable perception * *Jochen Braun, Alexander Pastukhov*: Cognitive Biology Group, Magdeburg http://kobi.nat.uni-magdeburg.de/ Április 28., hétfő, 12:00-13:00. XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320.-as terem. April 28, Monday, 12:00-13:00 Budapest, Stoczek u. 2, St. building, room 320. (H-1111) *Abstract: * Why does the phenomenal appearance of ambiguous patterns reverse spontaneously? What neural events precede and prompt these reversals? Of the two factors have been widely suspected – attention and adaptation – we can rule out the former and fail to find evidence implicating the latter. Surprisingly, we do find such evidence for a short-term memory of visual appearance. Perceptual states and memory states reverse independently and at widely different time-scales. Taken together, our results suggest that multi-stable perception (and perhaps phenomenal appearance generally) involves a close interaction of perceptual and memory levels. http://www.cogsci.bme.hu/Esem.php?esemIndex=40 Keresztes Attila BME-Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék BME-Department of Cognitive Science akeresztes(a)cogsci.bme.hu keresztes.attila(a)gmail.com

Extended early registration - Summer Institute on Social Cognition - extension des inscriptions anticipees

by École été 2008

VOIR LA VERSION EN FRANÇAIS PLUS BAS. > *** EXTENDED EARLY REGISTRATION: APRIL 23rd *** A Summer Institute on Social Cognition in Montréal, Canada, from the 28th of June to th 6th of July. (A pdf version of our program is directly available at: http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/public/conferences/2/schedConfs/2/pro gram.pdf ) The Cognitive Sciences¹ Institute organizes in Montreal, Canada, a Summer Institute to which you can register and receive three (3) credits towards your degree. Entitled Minds and Societies, the 2008 Summer Institute will again address an important current topic in cognitive science: social cognition. The Institute is gathering leading researchers on the interface and transition between individual ideas and minds and collective, distributed ones (biosocial psychology, cognitive anthropology, social neuroscience, distributed cognition, extended mind philosophy, etc.). We hope that all will be stimulated by this confluence of perspectives. Confirmed speakers include (alphabetically): Daniel Batson, Paul Bloom, Richard Byrne, Angelo Cangelosi, Rosaria Conte, Daniel Dennett, Merlin Donald, Shimon Edelman, Christian Fellbaum, Rob Goldstone, Philip Jackson, Frank Keil, Élisabeth Pacherie, Jesse Prinz, Deb Roy, Rebbeca Saxe, Barry Wellman, and many more (see our web site: http://www.summer08.isc.uqam.ca/). Our first Summer Institute in Cognitive Science brought together more than 150 local and international participants who met and exchanged ideas on the topic of categorization. It was a great success according to all involved, and has spawned an authoritative 32-chapter text on the matter, the Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science, Cohen and Lefebvre (eds.) (2005), Elsevier. The advantages of a Summer Institute: > Classes given by top researchers in their field; > Meeting high caliber foreign students who share your interests; > Networking; > Several related activities which will help develop your knowledge of > related fields (poster session > http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/custom/cfp-socialCognition.pdf, > thematic dinners, etc.); > A PhD level course during the summer (which can be rare in some > faculties); > Getting 3 credits in ten days (+ a paper at your leisure during the > summer); The registration process contains one or two steps according to whether you want to obtain credits or not. > 1.

The Minds and Societies Summer Institute in Cognitive Science summer08.isc(a)uqam.ca *** EXTENSION DES TARIFS PRÉFÉRENTIELS POUR INSCRIPTIONS ANTICIPÉES JUSQU¹AU 23 AVRIL *** Un Institut d¹été sur la cognition sociale à Montréal, Canada, du 28 juin au 6 juillet. (Une version pdf du programme est accessible directement à l¹adresse suivante: http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/eteisc/ocs/public/conferences/2/schedConfs/2/pro gram.pdf ) L¹Institut des Sciences Cognitives organise un Institut d¹été auquel vous pouvez vous inscrire et recevoir trois (3) crédits. L'Institut d¹été de 2008, intitulé Minds and Societies, traitera cette fois encore d¹une question importante et d¹actualité en sciences cognitives : la cognition sociale. L'institut regroupera les principaux chercheurs à la frontière entre la cognition individuelle et celle de nature collective et distribuée (psychologie biosociale, anthropologie cognitive, neurosciences sociales, cognition distribuée, philosophie de l'esprit étendu, etc.). Nous espérons que tous seront stimulés par cette convergence de perspectives.

Notre premier Institut d¹été en sciences cognitives a rassemblé plus de 150 participants locaux et internationaux qui se sont rencontrés et ont échangé autour de la question de la catégorisation. De l¹avis de tous les participants, ce premier Institut d¹été fut un énorme succès, qui a donné naissance à un ouvrage important sur le sujet, le Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science (sous la direction d¹Henri Cohen et de Claire Lefebvre, publié chez Elsevier).

TITLE: Sex, attachment, and the development of reproductive strategies AUTHOR: Marco Del Giudice ABSTRACT: This paper presents an integrated evolutionary model of the development of attachment and human reproductive strategies. It is argued that sex differences in attachment emerge in middle childhood, have adaptive significance in both children and adults, and are part of sex-specific life history strategies. Early psychosocial stress and insecure attachment act as cues of environmental risk, and tend to switch development towards reproductive strategies favoring current reproduction and higher mating effort. However, due to sex differences in life history trade-offs between mating and parenting, insecure males tend to adopt avoidant strategies, whereas insecure females tend to adopt anxious/ambivalent strategies, which maximize investment from kin and mates. Females are expected to shift to avoidant patterns when environmental risk is more severe. Avoidant and ambivalent attachment also have different adaptive values for boys and girls, in the context of same-sex competition in the peer group: in particular, the competitive and aggressive traits related to avoidant attachment can be favored as a status-seeking strategy for males. Finally, adrenarche is proposed as the endocrine mechanism underlying the reorganization of attachment in middle childhood; the implications for the relationship between attachment and sexual development are explored. Sex differences in the development of attachment can be fruitfully integrated within the broader framework of adaptive plasticity in life history strategies, thus contributing to a coherent evolutionary theory of human development.
