Talk It Out With RichieRickThe 4 Year AbsenceThe last time I recorded an episode was in 2020, 4 years since the global pandemic took place. A lot of things have changed, my life, my face, my voice with the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I believe I am in that rut right now. I have tried to made this episode as authentic as possible and little to no editing has been done on this episode. I apologize for the repetition, stuttering or grammatical errors when describing my situation. It was not easing recording as I clearly had no thought I would do this again.
Thank you for...

CognitationsEP #8 | A Child's First Words: Psycholinguistics, Development & Linguistic Communities | Alejandrina Cristia & Camila ScaffLanguage is oftentimes viewed as a paradigmatically human capacity. Indeed, we have observed no other creature exhibit linguistic abilities with the same complexity and freedom as our own. Conversely, humans are often viewed as vitally linguistic. Our diverse societies and communities seem to be knit together by the thread of spoken, signed and written words. We tell stories, pass down documents, express our joys and grievances… all by articulating our thoughts into sequences of sounds, markings or gestures. It is therefore not surprising that the first words of a child tend to be celebrated. But what goes into the ut...
2024-04-161h 15CognitationsEP #4 | Neuroeconomics & Learning in Humans, Rats and Robots | Stefano PalminteriA defining feature of us humans is that we continuously adapt to our environments in order to thrive. One key component of this process is ‘learning’ the contingencies of our environment. Since the 19th century, this phenomenon has been studied under the moniker of “conditioning”, and is usually associated with Pavlov and his famed dogs. Despite the fact that this seems trivial to many today with regard to dogs and other animals, and that we cannot assume that humans, with their complex mental lives merely act with the prospect of a reward, the basic idea behind these principles has enjoyed...
2023-12-141h 19CognitationsEP #2 | Cognitive Approaches To Studying Culture | Olivier MorinCulture is everywhere: it includes art, the dissemination of theories and of social norms, customs, the food we cook and eat, and so on. Culture also seems to be what distinguishes different communities, families, or entire countries and continents. Is it possible to explain such heterogeneous and complex phenomena? Can we identify the cognitive, environmental or social factors that underlie the spread of practices, norms and ideas? What is it that allows certain traditions to survive and develop, sometimes for hundreds or thousands of years?
Olivier Morin is a tenured CNRS researcher at the...
