The Research Center for Children's Cognition (the KiKo Center) - the Viennese counterpart of the Babylab in Budapest - recently began its operations. Run by the Cognitive Development Center, a research group in the Department of Cognitive Science at CEU, the KiKo Center studies human cognitive development by applying fun and engaging activities such as watching animations or playing games to investigate how babies and children learn to understand the world.

Departmental Colloquium: Ben Kenward (Oxford Brookes University): Children's conceptions of norms and their attitudes to norm violations

Type: 
Colloquia
Building: 
Oktober 6 u. 7
Room:

Date: 
January 9, 2019 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm

This presentation will combine two approaches to understanding young children’s conceptions of normativity. Firstly, a theoretical argument integrating a large body of literature (including the well-established protest paradigm) will be advanced, suggesting that the earliest conceptions of what is right (normative) is not well-differentiated from what is intended. For philosophers, an almost insurmountable challenge has been to explain how what should be can be inferred from what is. For psychologists, the challenge is instead to explain why humans in fact routinely make that inference.
