    In Defense of Massive Modularity

    3 In Defense of Massive Modularity Dan Sperber In October 1990, a psychologist, Susan Gelman, and three anthropolo- gists whose interest in cognition had been guided and encouraged by Jacques Mehler, Scott Atran, Larry Hirschfeld, and myself, organized a conference on “Cultural Knowledge and Domain Specificity” (see Hirsch- feld and Gelman, 1994). Jacques advised us in the preparation of the conference, and while we failed to convince him to write a paper, he did play a major role in the discussions. A main issue at stake was the degree to which cognitive development, everyday cognition, and cultural knowledge are based on dedicated do- main-specific mechanisms, as opposed to a domain-general intelligence and learning capacity. Thanks in particular to the work of developmental psychologists such as Susan Carey, Rochel Gelman, Susan Gelman, Frank Keil, Alan Leslie, Jacques Mehler, Elizabeth Spelke (who were all there), the issue of domain-specificity—which, of course, Noam Chomsky had been the first to raise—was becoming a central one in cognitive psychol- ogy. Evolutionary psychology, represented at the conference by Leda Cosmides and John Tooby, was putting forward new arguments for seeing human cognition as involving mostly domain- or task-specific evolved adaptations. We were a few anthropologists, far from the main- stream of our discipline, who also saw domain-specific cognitive pro- cesses as both constraining and contributing to cultural development. Taking for granted that domain-specific dispositions are an important feature of human cognition, three questions arise: 1. To what extent are these domain-specific dispositions based on truly autonomous mental mechanisms or “modules,” as opposed to being 48 D.

Thesis Chair ______________________________ Brianne Friberg, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Mike Milnor, M.A. Committee Member ______________________________ James Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY 3 Abstract As perhaps the single most effective method of proving the elements of a crime, eyewitness testimony has been vital to the trial process for centuries. However, the reliability of eyewitness testimony has recently come into question with the work of organizations such as The Innocence Project, which works to exonerate the wrongfully convicted. This thesis examines previous experiments concerning eyewitness testimony as well as court cases in which eyewitnesses provided vital evidence in order to determine the reliability of eyewitness testimony as well as to determine mitigating or exacerbating factors contributing to a lack of reliability. EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY 4 The Reliability of Eyewitness Testimony Eyewitness testimony is perhaps the oldest form of evidence and is typically given the most credibility in the courtroom other than a confession. But exactly how reliable is eyewitness testimony? What are some factors that affect the reliability of eyewitnesses? When should eyewitness testimony be thrown out of court? This thesis will attempt to answer these questions and more through the examination of various experiments and the Federal Rules of Evidence and the discussion of court cases dependent upon eyewitness testimony in order to fully identify the nature of eyewitness testimony.

Noam Chomsky perceives a mere thread of MP3 - 70MB a connection. At breakneck speed, Chomsky leads us through Audio and Video: a history of language theory, concluding with the revolutionary QuickTime - 371MB model he championed: a universal grammar underpinning all WindowsMedia - 313MB languages that corresponds to an innate capacity of the human RealVideo - 101MB brain. While scientists may now have a “clearer grasp of the universals of language,” says Chomsky, notions of universality grow murky as we move “into domains of will, choice and judgment.” Chomsky cites the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights as one example of “broad cross-cultural consensus.” But he brandishes examples of how “our moral and intellectual culture….forcefully rejects universal moral judgments” -- such as continued U.S.

    Cognition and Emotion What Is Emotion? Areas of Inquiry

    1 Cognition and Emotion November 15-29, 2007 2 What is emotion? • Communication mechanisms that maintain social order/structure • Behavior learned through operant or classical conditioning, not involving cognitive mediation • Appraisal of biopsychosocial situation • Complex physiological response • Integrated, three-response system construct 3 Areas of Inquiry • Effect of emotion on performance (e.g., memory, perception, attention) • Information processing characteristics of emotional disorders (e.g., anxiety, depresion) • Emotion and social learning • Cognitive neuroscience of emotions – cognitive structure of emotion – neuropsychological studies – cognitive aspects of emotion (e.g., appraisal) 4 5 Introduction & History • James-Lange theory • Cannon-Bard theory • Schacter & Singer studies (2-factor theory) • Facial feedback hypothesis • Neurobiological contributions (Davis, LeDoux) • Neuropsychological perspectives – Somatic markers – Emotional signal processing • Information-processing theories 6 7 James-Lange • "My theory ... is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion. Common sense says, we lose our fortune, are sorry and weep; we meet a bear, are frightened and run; we are insulted by a rival, and angry and strike. The hypothesis here to be defended says that this order of sequence is incorrect ... and that the more rational statement is that we feel sorry because we cry, angry because we strike, afraid because we tremble ... Without the bodily states following on the perception, the latter would be purely cognitive in form, pale, colorless, destitute of emotional warmth. We might then see the bear, and judge it best to run, receive the insult and deem it right to strike, but we should not actually feel afraid or angry" 8 Cannon-Bard • We feel emotions first, and then feel physiological changes, such as muscular tension, sweating, etc.

    EYEWITNESS MEMORY: HOW STRESS AND SITUATIONAL FACTORS AFFECT EYEWITNESS RECALL by ANNE S. YILMAZ A THESIS Presented to the Department of Psychology and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science December 2016 Abstract of the Thesis of Anne Yilmaz for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Department of Psychology to be taken December 2016 Title: Eyewitness Memory: How Stress and Situational Factors Affect Eyewitness Recall Approved: _______________________________________ Robert Mauro As eyewitness memory and its current admissibility as evidence in courts have come under scrutiny, numerous studies have examined variables that affect eyewitness memory. These variables are divided into system and estimator variables. System variables are factors that can be controlled by the criminal justice system; estimator variables are those which cannot be controlled by the justice system. Considerable research has demonstrated that stress can either inhibit or enhance memory depending on the level of arousal. This literature review will examine the role and effect of stress in general and in regard to other estimator variables (e.g., seriousness, weapons focus, and victim vs. bystander). Both field and laboratory studies will be examined. General trends, important caveats, and limitations will be reported. Despite the breadth of research in both eyewitness research and stress and memory, there is no recent comprehensive review of the effect of stress on eyewitness memory. This literature review will serve to bridge that gap and provide resources for those looking to continue research in the area of stress and eyewitness memory. ii Acknowledgements Thank you Dr.

    Dark, Beyond Deep: a Paradigm Shift to Cognitive AI with Humanlike Common Sense

    Dark, Beyond Deep: A Paradigm Shift to Cognitive AI with Humanlike Common Sense Yixin Zhua,∗, Tao Gaoa, Lifeng Fana, Siyuan Huanga, Mark Edmondsa, Hangxin Liua, Feng Gaoa, Chi Zhanga, Siyuan Qia, Ying Nian Wua, Joshua B. Tenenbaumb, Song-Chun Zhua aCenter for Vision, Cognition, Learning, and Autonomy (VCLA), UCLA bCenter for Brains, Minds, and Machines (CBMM), MIT Abstract Recent progress in deep learning is essentially based on a “big data for small tasks” paradigm, under which massive amounts of data are used to train a classifier for a single narrow task. In this paper, we call for a shift that flips this paradigm upside down. Specifically, we propose a “small data for big tasks” paradigm, wherein a single artificial intelligence (AI) system is challenged to develop “common sense,” enabling it to solve a wide range of tasks with little training data. We illustrate the potential power of this new paradigm by reviewing models of common sense that synthesize recent breakthroughs in both machine and human vision. We identify functionality, physics, intent, causality, and utility (FPICU) as the five core domains of cognitive AI with humanlike common sense. When taken as a unified concept, FPICU is concerned with the questions of “why” and “how,” beyond the dominant “what” and “where” framework for understanding vision. They are invisible in terms of pixels but nevertheless drive the creation, maintenance, and development of visual scenes. We therefore coin them the “dark matter” of vision. Just as our universe cannot be understood by merely studying observable matter, we argue that vision cannot be understood without studying FPICU.
