Call for Papers

Behavioural economics research has been documenting a long list of biases
in human behaviour mostly since the second half of last century. In time,
thanks to neurophysiological recordings and to the application of
computational cognitive models to behavioural experiments, studies have
pinpointed neural correlates that can offer mechanistic explanations to
some key biases. In other words, cognitive science has been able to clarify
the nature and the importance of cognitive biases, providing
experimentally-grounded models of learning in humans. The explanatory power
of these models can, however, scale up beyond explaining individual
behaviour, to characterise complex system dynamics. These cognitive models
indeed can be integrated into agent-based models (ABM) or applied to
real-world data, rather than well-crafted and well-controlled experiments.
To date, these applications are still in their infancy, but they can help
find evidence of cognitive biases in agent-resolved data from various
sources. In light of this new research avenue, this workshop aims to foster
collaboration between researchers from the complex system community and
cognitive scientists. We welcome submissions that investigate the presence
or the importance of cognitive biases in either theoretical models such as
ABMs or empirical data.
