Leon Bergen - The lexicon in learning and pragmatic inference
05/06 - 09:51pm — AnonymousLeon Bergen (MIT Gibson/Tenenbaum labs)
Abstract:
A celebrated feature of natural language is its expressiveness: Languages can be used to communicate an unbounded variety of thoughts. In this talk, I will be discussing two of the systems that languages have for generating new meanings. In particular, I will be asking how the structure of the lexicon (the set of basic meaning units in these systems) supports the functioning of these systems.

Julian Jara-Ettinger - Costs and benefits: Childrens' reasoning about competence, motivation, and moral responsibility of agents
02/03 - 05:17pm — AnonymousJulian Jara-Ettinger (MIT Schulz Lab)
Abstract:
Social evaluations depend on our ability to interpret other people's behavior. In adults, these evaluations are influenced by our perception of the competence and motivation of the agent: helping when it is difficult to help is praiseworthy; not helping when it is easy to help is reprehensible. I'll be talking about young children's capacity to make competence
attributions and its relation to social evaluations.
