Host: Christophe Heintz
When: November 30, Wednesday, at 5 pm in Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101.
Title: Towards a mechanistic account of the psychology of groups: Basic theoretical models
and empirical tests of the psychology underlying racial categorization.
Abstract: The cognitive revolution can be understood as a commitment to describing
psychological processes as mechanistically as possible, without intervention from an
intentional agent or homunculus. This talk presents an overview of a research program
committed to describing the psychology of groups in this way. Two primary veins of
research will be described: First, a body of work will be presented that suggests we may
have discovered the function of the cognitive mechanisms responsible for producing the
phenomenon of racial categorization. Second, a task analysis will be presented that
describes the invariances of n-person conflict and suggests a way to define the construct
"group" in purely mechanistic terms.
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101.
