[BERG] BERG seminar today

[Gema Martin-Ordas]

Dear all,

Just a reminder about our seminar today at 4pm. Prof. Bennett Schwartz (Florida International University, USA) will be talking about metacognition. Please, see below the title and short abstract for his talk.

Title:  Comparative approaches and the natural ecology of metacognition

Abstract: Most cognitive scientists assume that our core cognitive abilities evolved through natural selection.  However, we lack the ability to assess causality concerning the natural selection processes that shaped human cognition. As such, I advocate a comparative approach to understand the potential natural selection of cognition.  In this talk, I consider metacognition, the experience and knowledge of one’s own cognitive system.  I compare the methods used in humans and non-human primates with respect to both the cognitive mechanisms underlying metacognition and the accuracy of metacognition at predicting performance on an object-level task.  I advocate for an approach to metacognition that makes hypotheses based on natural ecology and then applies those hypotheses to a wide range of species.

Hope to see you there.

Best,
Gema
