Dear all,
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science invites you to the following talk:
Patricia A. Ganea<https://discover.research.utoronto.ca/23831-patricia-ganea>
(University of Toronto)
Title: Mechanisms underlying counterfactual reasoning in development
Abstract: Counterfactual reasoning is the ability to think of alternative representations
to what we know to be true about the world, by imagining what would have happened had a
situation been different. The ability to contemplate changes to reality is a fundamental
aspect of human cognition involved in learning and decision-making. To date, the
developmental literature has focused mostly on when children become capable of reasoning
counterfactually, with little attention to how or why children reason the way they do.
Conclusions about when children begin to reason counterfactually are also mixed and are
underlined by different theoretical assumptions. In this talk I will present a
process-based account of counterfactual reasoning by highlighting the processes it shares
with other hypothetical abilities and by characterizing the factors that influence
children’s counterfactual judgements.
Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024
Time: 4 pm (to 5:30 pm) CET
Venue: D001-Tiered* (QS Vienna) and Zoom (meeting ID: 969 2496
