Virtual Colloquium Series

The Cognitive Science Society is hosting a 2004-2005 virtual colloquium
series presented live via the Internet, with the third talk given by Barbara
Tversky. Register free at http://www.ctaresource.com/CognitiveScience/ to
attend.

Time: Friday, February 25, 2005, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. EST

Presenter:  Barbara Tversky, Stanford University

Topic:  Multiple Mental Spaces

We engage in spatial cognition from the first moments of life: where to
look, where to reach, where to go. Each of these acts entails a different
space and different set of behaviors; the behaviors become fine-tuned
through experience. In contrast, talk about space does not directly access
this knowledge; instead, it seems to be mediated by cognitive constructions
that are only schematically based on this knowledge and that may introduce
systematic bias and error.
