PROGRAMME

The ILCLI International Workshop on Cognitive Science, CogSc-12, is organized by the Institute for Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI) of the University of the Basque Country. The workshop will take place in the Santamaria Centre at Donostia-San Sebastian, Elhuyar Square 2, University Campus, from November 28 to 30, 2012.
VENUE: Degrees Room at the Faculty of Philosophy and Education Sciences.
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.
