CFP: Learning, Reasoning, and Cognition: Cognition and Action in a Social Setting

This workshop provides a forum for the discussion of how to find good explanations for all kinds of phenomena in the broad field of social cognition and social action, with a particular emphasis on learning and reasoning, from the viewpoints of cognitive scientists and philosophers.

The purpose of this conference is twofold: firstly, to engage researchers with different backgrounds in a discussion on the relation between social action and cognition situated in a social setting, and secondly, to obtain a better theoretical understanding of what is learning by doing, and reasoning under the cognitive limitations of information processing and drawing inferences.
