CAUSAL AND PROBABILISTIC REASONING WORKSHOP

MCMP, LMU Munich

18-20 June 2015

The program is now online!
Registration deadline: 1 June 2015

*******************************************

2015 marks the 15th anniversary of the publications of Judea Pearl's 
Causality and the second edition of Peter Spirtes, Clark Glymour, and 
Richard Scheines' Causality, Prediction, and Search,
which together are the foundations for the mathematical theory of causal 
modeling.  During this period, the theory of causal Bayesian networks 
have been applied to a variety of topics in the
special sciences, including the brain and cognitive sciences.

This conference will focus on the applications of probabilistic and 
causal modeling in cognitive science, with an emphasis on assessing both 
the power and limitations of these tools in our
understanding of cognition.

Topics of the conference will include, but are not be limited to:

- Causal reasoning
- Probabilistic reasoning
- Models of bounded rationality
- Probabilistic causal models in cognitive psychology
- Models of Judgment and Decision Making
- Learning and Decision Making
- Group Decision Making
- Social Norms and Networks
- Foundations of Causal Bayesian Networks
