Howard Hall 102 GEO:45.451619;-122.669391 SUMMARY:"Do Experts Really Perceive the World Differently from Non-Expert s?" By Kevin Connolly (Minerva Schools) DESCRIPTION:People sometimes say things like the following: Cabernet Sauv ignon tastes differently to an expert wine taster\, or Beethoven's Ninth Symphony sounds differently to a seasoned conductor. Such claims are ofte n made by philosophers\, from the 14th-century Hindu philosopher Vedānt a Deśika to the 18th-century Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid as well a s to contemporary philosophers like Ned Block\, Susanna Siegel\, and Chri stopher Peacocke. But do experts really perceive the world differently fr om non-experts? According to an alternative story\, the wine tastes (or t he symphony sounds) the same to the expert and non-expert alike. On this view\, it's just that the expert has specialized concepts for the wine (o r the symphony) that the non-expert lacks\, while the wine tastes (or the symphony sounds) the same to both. Which of these two accounts is correc t? In this talk\, I examine and evaluate the evidence\, drawing on philos ophy\, psychology\, and neuroscience. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
