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.
