SPEAKER: Professor Glyn Humphreys, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford
TITLE: The integrative self
ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will propose a new account of how self association mediates information processing, proposing that self association enhances binding in perception and memory. Furthermore, I will present evidence that the effects of the self on binding are distinct from those of reward. The results indicate that self-reference plays a particular functional role in cognition.
