SUMMARY:The logic of universalization guides moral judgment (RCCR Summer Seminar Series)
DESCRIPTION:The logic of universalization guides moral judgment\, Fiery Cushman\nFiery Cushman is Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard University\, where he directs the Moral Psychology Research Laboratory. His research addresses the balance between learned and innate contributions to cognition; the human capacity to explain\, predict and evaluate others’ behavior; and the architecture of learning and decision-making in a social context. \nThis seminar is part of The Reading Centre for Cognition Research’s 2021 Summer Seminar Series: Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality \nThe aim of this seminar series is to explore these newer approaches to reasoning and rationality\, looking at cutting edge work in the area and asking what these moves might tell us about how we go about understanding the actions of others and ourselves. \nA standard picture of humans as generally ordered and orderly thinkers has come under significant pressure in recent years\, in particular from the work of Kahneman and others who have stressed our susceptibility to a range of cognitive traps (such as framing or bias). Although the claim commonly associated with this school of thought – that we are ‘predictably irrational’\, in Ariely’s phrase – has been rejected by many\, even those who seek to defend our status as good reasoners often suggest a more complex and potentially messy set of processes\, mechanisms and features than those standardly appealed to in classic folk psychological approaches. \nAll welcome! \nIf you have any questions\, please email Emma Borg e.g.n.borg@reading.ac.uk \nMicrosoft Teams meeting – join here \nresearch.reading.ac.uk/cognition-research/

SUMMARY:Royal Economic Society Annual Public Lecture 2021: Why digital is so disruptive
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Economic Society is pleased to announce that the RES Annual Public Lecture will be held online on Thursday 6 May between 1pm – 2.30pm. Bookings are now open. \nEstablished in 2001\, our Annual Public Lecture provides an opportunity for school students to watch internationally-renowned economists present their research. Principally aimed at sixth form students\, the APL has become an established part of the senior school calendar. This year’s event will be online and co-hosted by the University of Reading and the University of York. \nThis year’s lecture will be chaired by RES President Dame Carol Propper and delivered by Prof. Diane Coyle CBE\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. \nWhy digital is so disruptive: The Internet can be traced back to 1969\, the World Wide Web to 1990\, and iPhone to 2007 – yet it is only in the past few years that “digital disruption” has become a big theme in business. In this lecture\, Diane Coyle\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge\, and an expert on the digital economy\, will explore why digital technology is rewiring the economy – especially now so much activity has been driven online – what economists are learning about its consequences\, and how economic policies need to change. \nPartners: Royal Economic Society and University of York \nFor more information please click here.

SUMMARY:CINNergies Reading Club - Philosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?
DESCRIPTION:CINNergies Reading Club\nPhilosophy of science: do physiology and psychology align?\n\n\n7th May 2021: 0900-1200 BST \nCINNergies are hosting a reading club and debate on the “Brain-Cognitive behaviour problem”. This debate is set to get to the heart of the challenges and potential benefits of interdisciplinary research. \nAccording to nature research: “Cognitive neuroscience is the field of study focusing on the neural substrates of mental processes. It is at the intersection of psychology and neuroscience\, but also overlaps with physiological psychology\, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. It combines the theories of cognitive psychology and computational modelling with experimental data about the brain.” \nBut can this scientific field successfully navigate the complex interdisciplinarity of the issues it is set out to investigate? \nSign up here and see below to access some of the resources we’ll be discussing. \n\n\n\n\nArticles to read\nPodcasts to listen to\nWebinars to watch\n\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki\nThe Brain–Cognitive Behavior Problem: A Retrospective\n\n\nRuss Poldrack\nCognitive Ontologies\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nRuss Poldrak\nThe measurement crisis in cognitive neuroscience\n(Reading Emotions 2020)\n\n\n\n\nDavid Poeppel and Federico Adolfi\nAgainst the Epistemological Primacy of the Hardware: The Brain from Inside Out\, Turned Upside Down\n\n\nGyörgy Buzsáki and David Poeppel\n(Brain Inspired)\n\n\nAnastasia Christakou\nFrom molecules to mind\n\n\n\n\nShimon Marom\nDialogue Across Chasm: Are Psychology and Neurophysiology Incompatible?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCINNergies\, part of the Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN)\, is a creative and diverse community of early career researchers who share an openness for and motivation to engage in interdisciplinary research.

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture: Living with More than One Language - The Effects of Bilingualism on Mind and Brain
DESCRIPTION:Dr Toms Voits\, UiT The Arctic University of Norway \nLanguage is frequently in the headlines\, from worries about people speaking too many languages or too few\, to questions of whether bilingualism protects against cognitive decline in later life. Bilingualism has featured prominently in language debates\, with stories often over-simplifying a more complex picture. \nJoin former Reading doctoral researcher Toms Voits on a journey through the uniqueness and complexity of the human brain’s capacity for language. This public lecture will introduce the ways in which two or more languages co-habit within a single mind\, how processing allows languages to compete and co-operate\, and the much-debated effects of bilingualism on mind and brain. With a focus on research on bilingualism in older adults\, the lecture will examine some of the complexities that need to be unpicked in order to understand relationships between ageing\, cognitive health and language. \n*Due to current restrictions\, this year’s Fairbrother Lecture will be delivered as a pre-recorded film that can be viewed online at any time after its release on Tuesday 11 May. \nTo sign up to receive the link to view the lecture recording please visit the Events page. \nFor further information contact Dr Joanna John. \nFor information on Fairbrother Lectures in other years see previous events.

SUMMARY:Why do humans reason? (RCCR Summer Seminar Series)
DESCRIPTION:Why do humans reason? Hugo Mercier\nHugo Mercier is a research scientist at the CNRS (Institut Jean Nicod\, Paris)\, where his work with the Evolution and Social Cognition team and the Collective Intelligence team has focused on two main topics: The function and workings of reasoning (see The Enigma of Reason) and How we evaluate communicated information (see Not Born Yesterday). \nThis seminar is part of The Reading Centre for Cognition Research’s 2021 Summer Seminar Series: Understanding ourselves and others: reasoning and rationality \nThe aim of this seminar series is to explore these newer approaches to reasoning and rationality\, looking at cutting edge work in the area and asking what these moves might tell us about how we go about understanding the actions of others and ourselves. \nA standard picture of humans as generally ordered and orderly thinkers has come under significant pressure in recent years\, in particular from the work of Kahneman and others who have stressed our susceptibility to a range of cognitive traps (such as framing or bias).
