[Coggroup] CRAM Friday November 27th, Dr. Ori Ossmy
by cram 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Hi Everyone, We are excited to announce that the next CRAM (Cognitive Research at McGill) session for this semester will take place this Friday, November 27th. Dr. Ori Ossmy from New York University, will be speaking on “real-time processes in the development of behavioral problem solving”. Please see below for the abstract of the talk. The talk will span from 2-3PM (EST) and the speaker will be presenting virtually over zoom (link below). All are welcome! Best regards, The CRAM Team ---------------------- Title: From macro to micro: Real-time processes in the development of behavioral problem solving Abstract: Behavioral problem solving is ubiquitous across every age and culture—how to navigate a cluttered environment, use a tool, and so on. As our bodies, skills, and environments change, new problems emerge and require new means to solve them. With learning and development, children respond more adaptively and efficiently to environmental challenges and opportunities. Traditionally, developmental research focuses on macro changes in problem solving skills by identifying the ages at which children solve particular problems and characterizing differences among children at different points in learning or development. This outcome-oriented approach established that behavioral problem solving begins in infancy and improves with age and experience, but is limited in informing about how and why change occurs. In contrast, my ground hypothesis is that macro changes in problem solving emerge from micro, real-time experiences. These real-time experiences, in turn, play out in an interactive system of perceptual, neural, cognitive, and motor processes. The efficiency of these processes and their interactions differ widely among individuals. From cruising infants to soccer-playing robots, I test this hypothesis by adopting an innovative integrative approach that combines interdisciplinary perspectives (child development, cognitive neuroscience, motor control, computer science), methods (eye-tracking, EEG, motion tracking, robotics, computer vision, virtual reality, and video), ages (infants, children, adults), and tasks (manual and locomotor). Kevin da Silva Castanheira is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: CRAM Nov 27th Ori Ossmy Time: Nov 27, 2020 02:00 PM Montreal Join Zoom Meeting https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/84726666172
