SUMMARY:Sharon M. Guten Colloquium Series: Dr. Hyowon Gweon\, Stanford
DESCRIPTION:Title: Curious\, cooperative\, and communicative: How we learn from others and help others learn \nPresenter: Hyowon Gweon\, Associate Professor\, Department of Psychology\, Stanford University \nAbstract: Humans are not the only species that learns from others\, but only humans learn and\ncommunicate in rich\, diverse social contexts\, and build repertoires of abstract\,\nstructured knowledge. What makes human social learning so distinctive\, powerful\,\nand smart? In this talk\, I argue that social learning is inferential at its core (inferential\nsocial learning); rather than copying what others do or trusting what others say\,\nhumans learn from others by drawing rich inferences from others’ behaviors\, and\nhelp others learn by generating evidence tailored to others’ goals and knowledge\nstates. I will present a series of studies that support this view and describe how they\nreveal the remarkably curious minds of young children\, not only about the physical\nworld but also about others and themselves; children are curious about what others\ndo & what their actions mean\, what others know & what they ought to know\, and\neven what others think of them and how to change their beliefs. The results\ncollectively paint a picture of young children as active social learners who\nvoraciously yet intelligently gather useful information from others to learn about the\nworld\, and generously share what they know with those around them. \nColloquia generously funded by the Sharon M. Guten Endowment Fund. \nRegister at https://uwmadison.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIrceqorDwoHNVbXksQSyXckOmzni9aY_6m. \n
