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):<\/p>\n<p>1) to identify and discuss phenomena of common interest such as conditional sentences<br \/>\n2) to identify common theoretical issues such as coherence, prior likelihoods in iterated models, or probabilistic explanations of pragmatic phenomena<br \/>\n3) to debate the advantages\/disadvantages of different formal approaches used for both reasoning and pragmatics.<\/p>\n<p><!--\nThe workshop will consist of two half days with four invited talks each and one day with submitted papers.\n\nWe invite submissions for 25 minute (+ 15 minutes for questions) talks and for poster presentations. Abstracts should be one page (letter or A4 paper size, 11 pt font, 1 inch\/2.5 cm margins) long with an additional page for figures, tables, formulas, examples, and references. Submit your abstract in PDF or TXT format via <a href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=ratproprag2016\" target=\"_blank\">EasyChair<\/a>.\n\n<strong>Deadline for submissions: March 15th 2016 <\/strong>\nDate of notification: early April\nMay 25 (morning): arrival\nMay 27 (evening): departure\n\n<strong>Aim:<\/strong>\nThis workshop explores connections between SPP 1727 XPrag.de and SPP 1516 \"New Frameworks of Rationality\". The SPP 1516 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2011 and aims to bundle research on rationality in Germany and beyond. One of its central planks consists of probabilistic models for human reasoning behavior. Rationality and probability are also central building blocks of pragmatic theories, and concepts such as equilibria and best response play roles in pragmatic models as well.\n\nThe goals of the workshop are:\n1) to identify and discuss phenomena of common interest such as conditional sentences\n2) to identify common theoretical issues such as coherence, prior likelihoods in iterated models, or probabilistic explanations of pragmatic phenomena\n3) to debate the advantages\/disadvantages of different formal approaches used for both reasoning and pragmatics.\n\nThe workshop will consist of two half days with four invited talks each and one day with submitted papers and posters.\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&larr; back to SSI events &larr; back to SIGames events &larr; back to ProComPrag events Organizers: SSI, Coherence-based probability logic: Rationality under uncertainty (SPP 1516), SIGames, ProComPrag Time and Venue: May, 25-27th 2016, Zentrum f\u00fcr Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS) Berlin, Trajekte-Raum, 3rd floor, (&rarr;Map) How to get to ZAS!
