The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *​*Daniel M. Bernstein (Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Canada) ​ [web <http://lifespancognition.org/portfolio-item/about/>]​ *Title:* *I knew it and so did you! Social cognition across the lifespan* *Date*: Wednesday, 13 July 2016 *Time:* 17:00-18:30 *Location*: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 *Abstract:* Social cognition permits us to communicate and empathize through our assessment of what others know and feel. Yet, our own knowledge and feelings often limit our ability to take another’s perspective, or know how another feels. Our own knowledge can also limit our ability to recognize our own prior ignorance. These errors occur frequently in children, but also in adults. A challenge for social scientists is to develop tools and methods to study social cognition in children and adults. I will present work exploring social cognition from preschool to old age. Fusing developmental, cognitive, and learning sciences, this research can benefit researchers, teachers, students, policy makers and parents. We are looking forward to seeing you.
