Dear All,

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk.

Title: Exploring variation in infant cognition

Abstract: Research on infant cognition has yielded a wealth of findings suggesting that infants start with initial knowledge of several core domains that capture critical aspects of the world, e.g., physical, psychological, sociomoral domains. In each domain, such core knowledge includes some early emerging concepts and/or principles (e.g., concepts of objects, force, agents, social agents and/or moral principles) that help point infants in the right directions for rapidly learning about the world. Most of the work so far has been on infants’ group-level performance, e.g., in looking-time tasks. I will present ours and others’ work that start to examine how individual characteristics and experiential factors may (or may not) impact infant knowledge about the physical and the social world. This will help us achieve a better understanding of variation in infant cognition and allow for evaluations of claims on the origins and development of early knowledge.
