SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Brown Bag:  Reconsidering associations between cognition and self-regulation: from specialized executive functions to ubiquitous\, task-general mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nResearch on the development of self-regulatory abilities\, and psychopathologies in which they are impaired\, has long assumed that these abilities are dependent on a set of complex “executive” cognitive functions that implement distinct regulatory procedures in specific contexts (e.g.\, response inhibition\, set shifting). As a result\, these constructs are typically measured with task paradigms that are designed to selectively engage the specialized function of interest. However\, several lines of work cast doubt on the idea that the functions measured by such tasks represent reliable and dissociable dimensions of individual variation. In this talk\, I will argue that recent evidence from psychometric and computational modeling studies supports an alternative framework\, in which cognitive processes relevant to self-regulation are not modular functions selectively engaged in specific contexts. Rather\, their influence appears to be pervasive across a wide array of contexts\, from relatively simple decision tasks to complex “executive” paradigms. Implications for theory and measurement in developmental research on cognition and psychopathology will be highlighted.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hardship and Hard Work: Son Preference Attitudes among Highly Educated Urban Chinese Women
DESCRIPTION:Hardship and Hard Work: Son Preference Attitudes among Highly Educated Urban Chinese Women\nby Yun Zhou\nMonday\, February 21\n12-1:10 pm ET via Zoom\n\nAbstract:\nExtensive research on son preference in China has predominantly focused on rural and rural-to-urban migrant populations. Son preference attitudes among other demographic groups have received little attention. Drawing on 70 in-depth interviews with highly educated urban Chinese women\, I examine whether son preference attitudes persist among this previously under-explored group—and if yes\, why. I discover a lasting preference for sons among women who otherwise support gender egalitarianism. I elucidate two distinct logics—the gendered hardship and hard work—that underpin this seeming paradox: Invoking their own experiences of gender inequality\, these women articulate their son preference as a desire to shield their children from gendered hardship. They view raising daughters amidst pervasive gender discrimination as emotionally taxing hard work. I illustrate the nuanced reasoning—beyond the devaluation of girls—that underlies highly educated urban Chinese women’s son preference attitudes. I further demonstrate that despite the nuance\, such reasoning ultimately does not disrupt entrenched patriarchal familial expectations that favour boys over girls and holds behavioural implications for second-birth outcomes. \n\nBio:\nYun Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. Trained as a social demographer\, Zhou’s research examines social inequality and state-market-family relations through the lens of gender\, marriage\, and reproduction. Intersecting the studies of population and politics\, Zhou's current project investigates the demographic\, political\, and gendered consequences of China's recent ending of the one-child policy. Zhou received her Ph.D. in Sociology from Harvard University in 2017. She completed her postdoctoral training (2017-2019) as a Postdoctoral Research Associate of Population Studies at the Population Studies and Training Center\, Brown University.\n\nMichigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Managing Melt: Ice\, Refrigeration\, and Hawaiian Body Politics
DESCRIPTION:Managing Melt: Ice\, Refrigeration\, and Hawaiian Body Politics\nHiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart\, UT Austin – Anthropology\n\nMonday\, Feb 21: Open Talks 12-1pm\, Grad Workshops 1-3pm\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95385019774?pwd=N0I1THZGYlQwZi9UT2Q5dFlXSEttdz09\n\nAbstract:\nNearly everything Hawaiʻi residents eat is imported\, despite its history of agricultural abundance\, and real estate development has encroached on arable farmlands such that a mere 11.6% of food is locally grown. Not only is Hawaiʻi dependent upon imported food\, but the added energy costs built-in for maintaining perishables makes its groceries the most expensive in the United States. In this way\, cold chain logics offer one way to trace the role that temperature plays in organizing bodies in within the tropics. Examining how freezing and refrigeration technologies function as a critical node of Hawaiʻi’s food system as a structure of settler colonialism\, this talk considers what the promises and limits of thermal management might be for decolonial struggles over land and sovereignty. In doing so\, Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart asks: how does ‘artificial’ ice and refrigeration constrain the conditions of possibility within movements that call for de-occupation\, demilitarization\, and the dismantling of the settler state? In what ways does it support activist and movement spaces? And\, lastly\, what place does refrigeration have within Indigenous futures that aim to move beyond capitalism\, settler colonialism\, and imperialism\, when coldness has played such an infrastructural role in these political systems of oppression?\n\nThis is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - \"Water Ways: New Social Science\, Science Studies\, and Environmental Approaches to Water\"\n\nThis is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning to address novel situations through human-robot collaboration
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nAs our expectations for robots' adaptive capacities grow\, it will be increasingly important for them to reason about the novel objects\, tasks\, and interactions inherent to everyday life. Rather than attempt to pre-train a robot for all potential task variations it may encounter\, we can develop more capable and robust robots by assuming they will inevitably encounter situations that they are initially unprepared to address. My work enables a robot to address these novel situations by learning from a human teacher’s domain knowledge of the task\, such as the contextual use of an object or tool. Meeting this challenge requires robots to be flexible not only to novelty\, but to different forms of novelty and their varying effects on the robot’s task completion. In this talk\, I will focus on (1) the implications of novelty\, and its various causes\, on the robot’s learning goals\, (2) methods for structuring its interaction with the human teacher in order to meet those learning goals\, and (3) modeling and learning from interaction-derived training data to address novelty. \n\nBIO:\nDr. Tesca Fitzgerald is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research is centered around interactive robot learning\, with the aim of developing robots that are adaptive\, robust\, and collaborative when faced with novel situations. Before joining Carnegie Mellon\, Dr. Fitzgerald received her PhD in Computer Science at Georgia Tech and completed her B.Sc at Portland State University. She is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow (2014)\, Microsoft Graduate Women Scholar (2014)\, and IBM Ph.D. Fellow (2017).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:U-M graduate student Yuwei \"Emily\" Bao (Computer Science and Engineering) will present \"Learning to Mediate Disparities Towards Pragmatic Communication.\"\n\nABSTRACT\nHuman communication is a collaborative process. Speakers\, on top of conveying their own intent\, adjust the content and language expressions by taking the listeners into account\, including their knowledge background\, personality\, and physical capabilities. Towards building AI agents that have similar abilities in language communication\, we propose a novel rational reasoning framework\, Pragmatic Rational Speaker (PRS)\, where the speaker learns the speaker-listener disparity and adjusts the speech accordingly\, by adding a light-weighted disparity adjustment layer into working memory on top of speaker’s long-term memory system. By fixing the long-term memory\, the PRS only needs to update its working memory to learn and adapt to different types of listeners. To validate our framework\, we create a dataset that simulates different types of speaker-listener disparities in the context of referential games. Our empirical results demonstrate that the PRS is able to shift its output towards the language that listeners are able to understand\, significantly improve the collaborative task outcome\, and learn the disparity faster than joint training.
