Dear All, The Faculty of Cognitive Psychology, ELTE is pleased to invite you all for the upcoming lecture of Cognitive Seminar ( https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminariu <https://sites.google.com/site/eltekognitiv/home/elte-kognitiv-szeminarium>) Sabine Hunnius (Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, webpage <https://www.ru.nl/english/people/hunnius-s/> ) entitled: *How infants learn about themselves and others * date: 24th September 2019, 12:30 place: room 403, Institute of Psychology, ELTE, 46 Izabella street, Budapest, 1064 Abstract: They watch their own hands as they move through their visual field, pay close attention to the people around them, and take pleasure in interacting with adults in a playful manner. But how do infants first learn about their own bodies and actions? And how do they develop the ability to understand actions they observe in others? In this talk, I will present a series of behavioral and neuroscientific experiments that examine how infants build models that allow them to generate predictions about own and others’ actions. In particular, I will discuss how active action experience and observational experience provide infants with the necessary information to learn about themselves and others and gradually develop complex social-cognitive capabilities. If you know anyone who might be interested in Ms. Hunnius's talk, feel free to spread the word!
