O CIPsi convida... Ian Simpson

No ciclo de conferências “O CIPsi convida...”, os Laboratórios de Investigação do CIPsi convidam personalidades nacionais e internacionais de relevo nas suas áreas de investigação para partilharem diferentes perspectivas, metodologias e abordagens na investigação científica da mente e do comportamento.

A convite do Laboratório de Cognição Humana, e com apresentação de Ana Paula Soares, Ian Simpson traz-nos a conferência _ A Field at the Crossroads – Can Implicit Statistical Learning be Measured in Real Time?_.

Abstract
Implicit/Statistical Learning (ISL) is a fundamental theoretical construct in cognitive science. Over the last two decades ISL has been shown to be implicated in a wide range of basic and higher order cognitive functions such as vision, audition, motor planning, event processing, reading, speech perception, language acquisition, semantic memory and social cognition, among others. (Frost, Armstrong, & Christiansen, 2019). Due to these factors, the study of ISL has generated enormous interest in the last decade. Additionally, some authors have reported a relationship between low levels of ISL and dyslexia (for example, Sigurdardottir et al, 2017, but see Schmalz, Altoè, & Mulatti, 2017, for an opposing view). However, a series of recent and influential articles (Armstrong et al., 2017_ Frost et al., 2019) have concluded that, without a clear paradigm shift, the field will likely stagnate. Typical ISL experiments contain two phases_ a learning phase in which participants are exposed to material which, unbeknownst to them, is structured in some way. This is followed by a test phase to determine if, and how much the participants were able to learn. Hence, only the final level of ISL is determined. Armstrong and Frost et al., have called for the development of techniques that allow the evaluation of the trajectory of ISL in an _online_ manner, as it takes place in real time, instead of the mere evaluation of the final level of SL once learning has concluded. In this talk Dr Simpson will talk about his current research project whose goal is to develop an online measure of ISL. Following on from this, Dr Simpson will briefly talk about another project of his which has implications for investigators who use masked priming in naming and lexical decision tasks.
