The Ins(ides) & Out(sides) of Infants' Representations of Others


Two cognitive biases exert an especially powerful influence on adults' 
social reasoning. On the one hand, adults automatically judge the 
personalities and dispositions of other people based upon their outward 
appearance, especially from facial characteristics. On the other hand, 
adults' causal explantations about others' behavior is fundamentally 
biased towards internal properties and features that lie beneath the 
surface. What are the developmental origins of these powerful social 
reasoning biases? My talk will examine whether infants in the first year 
of life possess rudimentary forms of both types of heuristics.

This event is on Wednesday, September 28th, 2016.
It is held at : ASH Auditorium
This event starts at 12:00pm.

This event is organized by : School of Cognitive Science
