Connectionists: Dynamic Friday Tutorials...

[John Spencer (PSY - Staff)]

Greetings,

I’m launching a new talk series called Dynamic Friday Tutorials (DFT!) that will run monthly starting October 7. Details are below and on-line:

https://dynamicfieldtheory.org/events/dynamic_friday_tutorials_dft/

You can register on our website if interested.

Cheers,
John Spencer


The goal of the Dynamic Friday Tutorials is to build a hands-on community around the concepts of Dynamic Field Theory by presenting 'case study' tutorials in an on-line, discussion-oriented environment. The first case studies will build on three recent papers:

  1.  Spencer (2020) Current Directions in Psychological Science [3-layer visual working memory model]
  2.  Spencer, Ross-Sheehy & Eschman (2022) Infancy [IOWA spatial attention model]
  3.  Bhat, Spencer & Samuelson (2022) Psychological Review [WOLVES word learning model]

In advance of the meeting, the presenter will pre-record a talk to accompany each of the papers above (the first set of videos is available at:
https://dynamicfieldtheory.org/dft_case_studies/the_development_of_working_memory/).

Attendees will be expected to listen to the talk and preview the paper in advance. Then, on the day of the event, the presenter will give a brief recap of the talk (e.g., 5-min overview) and open the floor for an on-line discussion. This will be accompanied by a hands-on tutorial session walking through simulators of the particular model (using, for instance, CEDAR or COSIVINA). The goal is to unpack the model and to help facilitate work with dynamic field models more generally.
