Title: *Children’s reasoning about social exclusion*
Date: Wednesday, 13 June 2018
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
The basic human need to belong has an evolutionary basis and is largely
universal. The awareness of and ability to evaluate social interactions
appears to emerge in infancy. Infants discriminate between positive and
negatively valence interactions and even recognize dominance hierarchies in
their observations of third-party interactions. However, there has been
less research on the emergence of the motivation to seek acceptance and
avoid rejection. I will present some of our work exploring the
developmental trajectory of children’s early reasoning about the social
dynamics of inclusion and exclusion. Our findings suggest that by three
years of age, children begin to differentiate between excluders and those
who have been excluded based on their intentions and interactions. The
results will be discussed in the context of a broader theoretical framework
for thinking about the emergence and development of the human sensitivity
to social exclusion.
We are looking forward to see you.

Dear Cognitive Folks,
The next Fluencia Party will be on 8th June (Friday) starting at 8.00pm in
Élesztő (Tűzoltó street 22 close to Corvin-Negyed metro station).
Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1881336168557056/
Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-,
psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers
from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to
facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers
working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And,
of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment.
Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not
hesitate to ask.
All the best,
Dezso

Title: *Babies learning which words?*
Date: Wednesday, 30 May 2018
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101
Abstract:
How do babies learn words? We usually study this by surveying vocabulary
knowledge and then doing laboratory experiments to test hypotheses about
why the surveys show what they do. I will give examples of this path to
discovery and will argue that it’s not enough, and I will try to make the
case that measuring children’s environments better is a part of the
solution.
We are looking forward to see you.

Brains growing on the tree of life: a phylogenetic approach to brain structure and function
Recent developments in comparative methods are providing unprecedented insights into how traits evolved through time. I apply these methods to the mammalian brain, with a particular focus on primates. The results overturn some simplistic ideas about brain evolution that have taken root in the literature, providing a more complex and nuanced picture in which different kinds of structural change occurred at different times in response to different selection pressures. The complexity of the patterns of brain evolution give the lie to single-factor hypotheses and in particular undermine attempts to explain cognitive evolution as the product of selection on 'general intelligence' and executive control. Instead, the results suggest that the brains of different species support specialized forms of embodied cognition closely associated with their sensory-motor adaptations.
