El 24 de marzo a las 18:00 hrs en la Sala Bellarmino de la Universidad Alberto Hurtado (Alameda 1825, Santiago), contaremos con la conferencia de Jonna Vance (Northern Arizona University, Estados Unidos), quien ofrecerá la charla titulada Seeing Value and the Hallmarks of Perception.
A continuación presentamos el resumen de la conferencia:
In this talk, I argue that perceptual experiences represent evaluative properties, such as goodness and badness. The argument begins by drawing on a wide range of evidence that value encodings exhibit the hallmarks of perception: rapid processing, extraction from brief exposure, automaticity, repulsive adaptation, binocular rivalry advantages, etc. This evidence suggests that value is encoded perceptually, but it leaves open whether perception represents evaluative content: perceptual evaluation could instead be non-representational. To shed light on that issue, a second line of evidence is introduced: some perceptual value encodings behave like feature representations across experimental paradigms designed to assess feature binding. Perception doesn’t merely represent features; it represents them as bound to each other and to objects. Finally, I provide a sketch of the accuracy conditions for the evaluative perceptual content I’ve argued for and show how these accuracy conditions respond to a prominent objection to evaluative perception.
