[Koglist] REMINDER: Talk by Gergő Orbán tomorrow at 14:00 - ELTE Cognitive Seminar

by Zsuzsanna, Nemecz

*Time and date:* 14:00 (CET), Tuesday, 22. 02. 2022. *Speaker:* Gergő Orbán (Computational Systems Neuroscience Lab, Wigner Research Centre for Physics) *Title:* Episodic memory for hypothesis testing *Zoom link:* https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/95983360984?pwd=OVFvd2lxcUJkZzQ0NG56cmdlYXU5Z… *Meeting ID:* 959 8336 0984 *Passcode:* 037997 *Abstract:* The ability to evaluate the validity of alternative hypotheses is one of the cornerstones of learning. This is a major challenge in artificial learning systems and lack of it has consequences such as catastrophic interference: the situation where acquired knowledge is wiped out by new incoming information. Human memory systems show remarkable resistance to such effects but the computational principles underlying this ability are not well understood. Using inspirations from biological memory systems, we propose that a combination of episodic memory and generative replay can provide support for close to optimal evaluation of competing hypotheses. We identify two predictions of this learning framework that concern learning multiple tasks from observation: specific sensitivity to task structure and sensitivity to task schedule. We contrast these predictions with data from human experiments where participants had to learn to perform multiple tasks with the same set of complex naturalistic stimuli. In this scenario, our analysis highlights that failure to acquire a new task coincides with the regime where a normative learning algorithm also fails to learn. If you have questions about the event, please contact us via email (nemecz.zsuzsanna(a)ppk.elte.hu or reka.schvajda(a)ppk.elte.hu). We look forward to seeing you at the event, Zsuzsanna Nemecz Réka Schvajda organizers ELTE Department of Cognitive Psychology

Previous work has presented advantages for categorisation in the presence of labels, even for very young infants between 3 and 4 months, but research has not so far explained conclusively why exactly labelling helps. In particular, studies have typically contrasted successful learning of a single category with labels with unsuccessful learning in anon-labelling context. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the locus of the benefit exactly, as it is not clear what fails when learning is unsuccessful. I will present a series of eye tracking studies that aim to shed light on this through a combination of carefully tracking infants’ attention directed at individual features, and using labels contrastively (i.e. for two different categories) so that differences in what is being learned can be measured. Together, these experiments provide novel insights into the relationship between language and concepts in early childhood. *Please let me know if you would like to schedule an online meeting with Nadja. * ______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-subscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to talks-unsubscribe(a)cogsci.ceu.edu

I argue that both approaches capture important aspects of language, and show that we can reconcile insights from these two strands. I present a linguistic architecture that takes communicative situations ('comm-sits') as the core of linguistic systematicity, and integrates comm-sits into lexical representations. I illustrate this with examples from "free-range language": language in settings that are less confined by normative ideologies of monolingualism and linguistic purity. Drawing on insights from such settings, I show that comm-sits can form the basis for linguistic coherence and grammatical systems, while languages can emerge as optional sociolinguistic indices.

[Koglist] {Disarmed} REMINDER: ELTE Cognitive Seminar: Hanna Marno - 08.02.2022. 14:00

by Réka Schvajda

Dear all, Hanna Marno's talk will take place tomorrow from 14:00 on Zoom. See the invitation below - everyone is welcome to join! Best, Réka *ELTE Cognitive Seminar Invitation* *Time and date: *14:00 (CET), Tuesday, 08. 02. 2022. *Speaker:* Hanna Marno (Central European University, Eötvös Loránd University) *Title:* Learning from action observation: the importance of communication over efficiency Abstract*:* Ostensive cues, such as eye-contact or calling the other’s name are typically used to inform the addressee about our communicative intention. Furthermore, they can elicit an expectation of relevance about the communicated information, both in the case of adults and infants. During observational learning, would this expectation of relevance induce a bias to preferentially learn the communicated action demonstration, even at the expense of its observed efficiency? In my talk, I will present a series of studies testing whether toddlers and young children learn from their own observation of efficiency, assessed by statistical information on reliability of interventions, or from communicatively presented demonstrations, when these two potential types of evidence are contrasted with each other. The findings demonstrate that communicative sanctioning of reliability may override statistical evidence for young learners. Furthermore, our recent evidence with great apes also suggests that ostensive demonstration can elicit an expectation of relevance, potentially leading to a preference to learn from communication, as human children do. *Zoom link:* https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/97351319559?pwd=TUNxUGJqekxtckhzMlRLR1I2NWhPd… <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://ppk-elte-hu.zoom.us/j/97351319559?pwd%…> *Meeting ID: *973 5131 9559 *Passcode: *474474 The next event of the ELTE Cognitive Seminar will be a talk by* Gergő Orbán* on *22nd February, at 14:00. *We are looking forward to many of you joining!

[Koglist] Submissions now open: XIII. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science - Cognitive and Functional Perspectives on Emotions

by DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science

Dear All, We would like to remind you that submissions are now open for the XIII. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science, which is devoted to the topic of Cognitive and Functional Perspectives on Emotions. Emotions are at the core of the human experience. After long having been marginalized in the study of cognition, affective phenomena are increasingly moving into the focus of researchers from across cognitive science. In spite of this renewed interest, however, there remains much disagreement about the evolutionary origins, functional profiles, and universality of human emotions. This conference aims to bring together researchers from a range of diverse fields to present and discuss state-of-the-art research about the mechanisms and functions of emotions in our species. The conference will take place between 19 and 22 May 2022 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We invite poster submissions from all areas of cognitive science. You may submit your poster abstract here: https://ducog.cecog.eu/submit Invited speakers will include: Carlos Crivelli — De Montfort University, UK Guillaume Dezecache — Université Clermont Auvergne, France Alan Fiske — University of California, Los Angeles, US Debra Lieberman — University of Miami, US Lawrence Ian Reed — New York University, US Disa Sauter — University of Amsterdam, Netherlands The deadline for abstract submission is 28 February 2022, authors will be notified of acceptance of their abstracts by 15 March 2022. As of February 2022, we are planning to hold a traditional, in-person conference in Dubrovnik. Please keep in mind that DUCOG 2022 is contingent on global pandemic conditions. *In **case we are unable to hold the conference in Dubrovnik, we will announce further details before registration starts.* For more information please visit: <https://ducog.cecog.eu/> https://ducog.cecog.eu/ or email us: ducog(a)cecog.eu On behalf of the organisers, Denis Tatone Johannes Mahr - Conference chairs
