Cognitive Basis of Reasoning (in Minds and AI)

This workshop will focus on reasoning at the cognitive/behavioral level, in both cognitive science and AI. Topics will include discussions about whether current AI systems have certain capacities, whether they are capable of carrying out symbolic reasoning or whether explicit symbolic methods are needed, whether the term ‘reasoning’ is even appropriately applied to AI reasoning models, and other topics that address phenomena at the behavioral level and incorporate insights from cognitive theories.
