Dear All, This is a reminder that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast) Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2015, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: The development of regret in young children Regret plays an important role in our mental lives and impacts on our decision-making. However, developmental psychologists have only recently begun to conduct research to establish when regret first emerges. I will describe this recent experimental work, which has attempted to pin-point the age at which children first experience regret. I will also discuss our experimental studies that demonstrate that children’s decision-making improves when they start to experience regret, including a description of preliminary evidence that indicates that the ability to experience regret helps children learn to delay gratification. I will finish by discussing our most recent work that has examined the development of regret in the context of prosocial decision-making. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.
