Highlight of the Day:
So I had a web-surfing day today, reading on a variety of information from moral psychology to the recent quantum theory and heated discussion on the speed of light.
And what I found on our lab page is my advisor's photo gallery. I don't mean to flatter him (because my advisor won't know about this blog, hopefully), but some of the photos are just breath-taking... I've heard about his good taste for wine, but his good taste, and skills, in photography, is just blowing my mind...
This is my favorite photo.
I feel so stressful for being a grad student of his, haha. But so good to know about his photography :)
And it's not only his photo gallery that blows my mind. Yisha Peng, a senior student at Zhejiang University who attended Stanford University and dropped off school later has started her business in new media with other four team members... So good to know that she's still unbelievably energetic and cheerful!
Besides, I also found a good number of psych blogs, one of them written by a faculty member in CLPS! See Links of the day.
And... for the first time I became the Star of Zhejiang University on renren.com today... Come on! What's that!?? Why don't you guys visit my very serious blog instead!
And... before the end of the day I received an invitation letter from the China Education Symposium @ Harvard to give a talk... how exciting! I know that we're gonna have lots and lots of things to share!
Links of the day:
1. So many psychology blogs here!
2. I found Fiery Cushman's presentation (the same as his first presentation in lab meeting) on the Internet. It was about causation (outcome backward inference) vs. intention (mental state forward inference), or punishment vs. wrongness, and how evolutionary ideas give explanation to these phenomena (punishment to regulate other's behaviors largely regardless of intent vs. wrongness to regulate one's own behaviors). As one of his major ideas, more details can be found on his lab website.
The other thing mentioned in his lab "research" page is the Knobe Effect, in which we infer the intentionality of people's behaviors on moral judgment, esp. we are more likely to ascribe causal responsibility for harm to morally bad agents than good agents, and more likely to describe morally bad behaviors as active rather than passive! This is quite opposite to our gut feeling that we derive moral judgment from whether the agent intended to do so or not. Wired!
3. Seriously, Thomas Serre has got a really wonderful course website for his Computational Vision!
