WSPP-Informationsveranstaltung am 10.01.2023
Einladung zum Kolloquium
Dear all,
You are invited to two talks that will take place in early December.
On December 1st, Mariel Goddu will give a talk at CogSci colloquium (at 12:15, Waldweg 26 Room 6.103). She will talk about causal reasoning. Title & Abstract will be forwarded soon.
On December 8th, Jonathan Phillips will give a talk at a joint RTG 2070 & CogSci Colloquium (at 12:15, Waldweg 26 Room 6.103):
Decomposing Modal Thought
Cognitive scientists have become increasingly interested in understanding how natural minds represent and reason about possible ways the world may be. However, there is currently little agreement on how to understand this remarkable capacity for ‘modal thought’. Drawing on formal frameworks for reasoning about possibilities from logic, philosophy, computer science, and linguistics, we argue that this capacity is built from a set of relatively simple component parts, centrally involving a basic ability to consider possible extensions of a piece of the actual world. Natural minds can productively combine this basic ability with a range of other capacities, eventually allowing for the observed suite of increasingly more sophisticated ways of reasoning about what is possible. We demonstrate how this (de)compositional account can accurately predict both what has been observed in the trajectory of children’s developing capacity to reason about possibilities and what has been observed in how modal thought is expressed within and across natural languages. Our hope is that this framework will provide cognitive scientists with a more systematic way of understanding variation in actuality-directed modal thought and talk, which will serve as the beginnings of a common language that allows researchers across disciplines to better understand each other.
Both speakers have agreed to have few single/small-group meetings after/before their talks. If you are interested in meeting with them, please register by Friday (November 25) by filling out this registration form:
We are also organizing no-host dinners with the speakers on December 1st (with Mariel Goddu) and on December 7th (with Jonathan Phillips; please note that the dinner with him will take place one day before his talk). Please register via the aforementioned form if you’d like to join us at dinners.
Best wishes,
Feride
