[Coggroup] Talk by Dr.Hyun-joo Song Friday, Aug 17

14 Aug '18

Please see below for a talk by Dr. Hyun-joo Song from Yonsei University this Friday, August 17 from 10:30-12 AM. —— title: Infants' expectations about others' moral behaviors speaker: Hyun-joo Song (Yonsei University, Korea) when: F 17 august 2018, 10h30-12h where: room 735, 2001 McGill College (McGill Psychology) Infants' expectations about others' moral behaviors Hyun-joo Song (Yonsei University, Korea) There is increasing evidence that young infants are sensitive to the difference between good (helpful) and bad (hindering) actions (e.g., Hamlin et al., 2007). My research further examines the nature of infants' understanding of others' morally relevant actions. I will present data suggesting that (1) by 6 months of age, infants are sensitive to the intention behind others' helping actions and (2) by 16 months of age, infants expect an agent to help, rather than ignore, another in need of help. The results will be discussed in terms of the inborn and environmental factors that can influence of the development of infants' expectations about others' moral actions. ------ Dr Song is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Yonsei University in Seoul (South Korea). Her research focuses on infant social and language development, including demonstrations that 12-month-olds expect others to prefer an agent who is helpful (rather than unhelpful) even when the desired outcomes are not achieve, and that 19-month-olds treat definite (the) and indefinite (a) articles differently. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hyun_Joo_Song ___________________________________ Mehrgol Tiv Ph.D. Student, Psychology, McGill University Language and Multilingualism Lab *mehrgoltiv.com<http://mehrgoltiv.com>
