[Heartlogic-dev] CSS Virtual Colloquium Series - Art Markman (fwd)

[William L. Jarrold]

This talk is quite likely relevant to OHL.  Other talks like
it have been archived so there is at least a decent chance that
if you can't  make the time below you can at least view it after
the fact.

      Virtual Colloquium Series
      05/04/2005

      Dear William,

      There is still time to register for Art Markman's seminar ?The Dynamics 
of Preference
      and Concern?. This is the fourth talk in the 2004-2005 virtual colloquium 
series
      hosted by the Cognitive Science Society. The series is presented live via 
the
      Internet. Register now to attend.

      Time:  Friday, April 8, 2005
      1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

      Topic:  The Dynamics of Preference and Concern

            Cognitive Science research on decision making has often focused on 
the
            kinds of information people process while making choices, with less
            emphasis on what people actually choose. Understanding people's 
choice
            behavior requires an exploration of the influence of people's 
active goals
            on their preferences for desirable items and their degree of 
concern with
            undesirable items. The examination of goals is further complicated,
            because people are often unaware of the particular goals that are 
driving
            their behavior. In this talk, I sketch a model of the goal system 
that
            provides the basis for a series of studies that examine the 
influence of
            goal activation on preference and concern. This work also 
demonstrates how
            patterns of preferences can be used to map the cognitive structure 
of
            goals.

      Further information about this talk, the colloquium series, a schedule of 
future
      talks, and an archive of previous talks are available at

      Please forward this invitation to colleagues who would benefit from this 
seminar or
      the series.

      Sincerely,
