Meeting Description:

This international workshop brings together linguists, philosophers, and
psychologists to study interactions among rationality frameworks, uncertainty,
pragmatic phenomena, and cognition. The aim is to critically discuss how
recent psychological and philosophical theories of rational reasoning and
experimental pragmatics can benefit from each other. Specifically, the goals
of the workshop include (but are not limited):

1) To identify and discuss phenomena of common interest such as conditional
sentences
2) To identify common theoretical issues such as coherence, prior likelihoods
in iterated models, or probabilistic explanations of pragmatic phenomena
3) To debate the advantages/disadvantages of different formal approaches used
for both reasoning and pragmatics

The workshop will consist of two half days with four invited talks each and
one day with submitted papers and posters.

Invited Speakers:

Guy Politzer, Paris
Mike Oaksford, London
Niki Pfeifer, München
Ralph Hertwig, Berlin
Ira Noveck, Lyon
Nicole Gotzner & Anton Benz, Berlin
Michael Franke, Tübingen
Jesse Snedeker, Harvard (t.b.c.)
