- The German cognitive science conference is an interdisciplinary event where researchers from different disciplines -- mainly from artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy of mind, and anthropology -- and application areas -- such as eduction, clinical psychology, and human-machine interaction -- bring together different theoretical and methodological perspectives to study the mind. The 11th Biannual Conference of the German Cognitive Science Society took place from September 30 to October 3 2012 at Otto-Friedrich-Universität in Bamberg. The proceedings cover all contributions to this conference, that is, five invited talks, seven invited symposia and two symposia, a satellite symposium, a doctoral symposium, three tutorials, 46 abstracts of talks and 23 poster abstracts.

Bartlett's schema theory: The unreplicated "portrait d'homme" series from 1932
(2012)
-

- In 1932, Frederic Bartlett laid the foundation for the later schema theory. His key assumption of previous knowledge affecting the processing of new stimuli was illustrated in the famous "portrait d'homme" series. Sequenced reproductions of ambiguous stimuli showed progressive object-likeness. As Bartlett pointed out, activation of specific schemata, for instance "the face schema", biases memory retrieval towards such schemata. In five experiments (Experiment 1, n = 53; Experiment 2, n = 177; Experiment 3, n = 36; Experiment 4, n = 6; Experiment 5, n = 2), we tested several factors potentially influencing retrieval biases—for example, by varying the general procedure of reproduction (repeated vs. serial) and by omitting versus providing visual or semantic cues for activating face schemata. Participants inspected face-like stimuli with the caption "portrait of the human" and reproduced them repeatedly under specific conditions. None of the experiments revealed a systematic tendency towards Bartlett's described case, even when the participants were explicitly instructed to draw "a face" like the previously inspected one. In one of the "serial reproduction" experiments, we even obtained contrary effects with decreasing face-likeness over the reproduction generations. A close analysis of the original findings raises questions about the replicability of Bartlett's findings, qualifying the "portrait d'homme" series more or less as an illustrative example of the main idea of reconstructive memory.

All is beautiful? Generality vs. specificity of word usage in visual aesthetics
(2012)

- A central problem in the literature on psychological aesthetics is a lack of precision in terminology regarding
the description and measurement of aesthetic impressions. The current research project approached the
problem of terminology empirically, by studying people's word usage to describe aesthetic impressions.
For eight different object classes that are relevant in visual aesthetics, including visual art, landscapes, faces
and different design classes, we examined which words people use to describe their aesthetic impressions,
and which general conceptual dimensions might underlie similarities and differences between the classes.
The results show an interplay between generality and specificity in aesthetic word usage. In line with results
by Jacobsen, Buchta, Kohler, and Schroger (2004) beautiful and ugly seem to be the words with most general
relevance, but in addition each object class has its own distinct pattern of relevant terms. Multidimensional
scaling and correspondence analysis suggest that the most extreme positions in aesthetic word usage for the
classes studied are taken by landscapes and geometric shapes and patterns. This research aims to develop a
language of aesthetics for the visual modality. Such a common vocabulary should facilitate the development of
cross-disciplinary models of aesthetics and create a basis for the construction of standardised aesthetic
measures.

Rigidity rather than age as a limiting factor to appreciate innovative design
(2012)
-
Claus-Christian Carbon
Jan P. L. Schoormans
- In this paper, we study to what degree older consumers differ from middle-aged
consumers with respect to the appreciation of new product designs. We asked respondents
from both age groups to evaluate innovative designs that were shown repeatedly, replicating a
regular market situation by using the Repeated Evaluation Technique (RET). The results show
that rigidity, but not age influences the speed of appreciation towards new product designs
under these circumstances. Our findings indicate that it is a misconception that older
consumers are slower in adopting new product innovations per se.
