SUMMARY:Presentation:Biopsychology Colloquium: The origins of cognitive flexibility in chimpanzees
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Humans possess striking abilities to flexibly modify behavior in response to a changing environment. A number of proposals argue that executive functions\, the suite of cognitive abilities that enable such behavior\, are uniquely advanced in our species. In particular\, it has been proposed that our long ontogeny permits the development of advanced executive function skills. Another proposal highlights our flexible use of different information types\, such as readily using abstract or arbitrary cues to guide behavior. There is\, however\, a gap in our understanding of how human executive functions compare to those of our closest living relatives\, chimpanzees. I will present two studies examining a key component of executive function\, flexible switching\, in chimpanzees using a reversal learning paradigm. I investigated chimpanzees’ use of different types of information when updating their behavior\, and characterized developmental change and individual variation in this ability. I will discuss how these results highlight possible differences between human and non-human ape executive functions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Revenge of the Developmental State: Stock Market Struggles in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Revenge of the Developmental State considers the challenges faced by East Asian stock exchanges attempting to refashion themselves in the mold of their global counterparts\, and how the state has struggled to redefine its role vis a vis the market. Regulators and the exchanges increasingly have come to loggerheads on listings requirements\, new financial instruments\, and trading procedures\, sometimes in public clashes but more often behind closed doors. Professor Yasuda highlights how the state attempts to dragoon the stock market in service of industrial policy\, social welfare\, social stability\, and economic statecraft highlight obstacles to the rise of financial capitalism in China\, Japan\, Korea\, and Taiwan.\n   \nJohn Yasuda is Assistant Professor of Chinese Politics at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies at Indiana University\, specializing in regulatory governance\, bureaucratic politics\, and the politics of finance. His most recent book is \"On Feeding the Masses: An Anatomy of Regulatory Failure in China\" (Dec 2017). His work has been published with Regulation and Governance\, the China Quarterly\, and Journal of Politics.\n   \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
