DearparticipantofKogWis2016:SpaceforCognition!
Wewould like to welcome you to the 13th meeting of the German Cognitive ScienceSocietyaswellas to thecityofBremen.Bremenhasa longhistorydatingback to theeighthcenturyasalivelyareaofcommerce,culture,andscience.Itisworld-famousforitsworld-heritagemonuments, for itsbeer,aswellasforneverhavingbeenvisitedbyfourelderlyanimals.
TheUniversityofBremen,onlyfounded45yearsago,hasbeenawardedin2012asoneof eleven Excellence Universities in the initiative of the German Federal Ministry ofEducationandResearchandtheGermanResearchFoundation.
Atthisyear'sKogWisconference,althoughresearchofallsubareasofcognitivesciencewillbepresented,thespecialmottois"SpaceforCognition".Forresearchinspatialcog-nition,theUniversityofBremenisoneofthemostprominentlocationsworld-wide.Fortwelveyears,BremenhasbeenrunningthetransregionalcollaborativeresearchcenterSFB/TR8 Spatial Cognition fundedby theGermanResearchFoundation. TheworkofthiscenterisbeingcontinuedintheBremenSpatialCognitionCenter(BSCC)since2015.AsthehighlightsofKogWis2016weinvitedfiverenownedkeynotespeakersthatwilladdress core topics of cognition from a variety of perspectives and disciplines.

KeynoteSpeakers
Ruth Conroy Dalton is Professor ofBuilding Usability and Visualisationat the University of Northumbria atNewcastle,situatedintheNorthEastof England.She is an alumnus ofUniversity College London. As alicensedarchitect,shehasworkedforFoster and Partners (London) andSheppard Robson Corgan Architects(London); keyprojects onwhich shehasworkedincludetheCarréd’Artde
Nîmes, in France, the Palaçio de Congresos in Valencia, Spain, and the Kings CrossInternationalTerminal, London (unbuilt). Shehas taught at theArchitecturalAssocia-tion,London,theGeorgiaInstituteofTechnology,Atlanta,USAandtheBartlettSchoolofArchitecture, UCL. Ruth Conroy Dalton’s research interests are centred around therelationshipbetweenthespatial layoutofbuildingsandenvironmentsand theireffectonhowpeopleunderstandandinteractinthosespaces.Sheisanexpertinspacesyntaxanalysis,architecturalandspatialcognitionandpedestrianmovement/wayfinding.Sheispassionatelyinterestedinplacingtheuseratthecentreofarchitecturaldesign.
ArchitecturalDesign,Complexity,andCognitionInearlierworkbyDalton(andcollaborators),itwassuggestedthattherearethreedis-tantways inwhichcognitiontakesplace inrelationtoarchitecturaldesign:1) the im-pactofarchitectural structure, functionand formonhumanperception, cognitionandbehaviour;2)theimpactofcognitivefactorsonthedesignofarchitecturalstructures;3)themeans of interaction and communication between the architect and building-userperspectives. Architectural cognition embraces all of these three types. This talk willfocusonarchitecturalcognitionandcomplexityand,inparticular,willonthelay-person/ building-user’s perception of complex architectural environments. It can be arguedthatcomplexity inarchitecturaldesignhastwoprincipal impactsonthebuildinguser:firstintheiraestheticappraisalandsecondintheirunderstandingofthebuildinglayoutand subsequent wayfinding through a complex environment. This keynote will coverboth of these aspects of architectural but will focus on/describe experiments on thelatter.
Jim Davies is an associate professor in the Institute of Cognitive Science at CarletonUniversity,wherehehaswon several teaching awards.Hehasdegrees inphilosophy,computer science, and cognitivepsychology.Asdirector of the Scienceof ImaginationLaboratory, he explores processes of imagination in humans andmachines, and spe-cializes in artificial intelligence, analogy, problem-solving, and the psychology of art,religion, and creativity. His work has shown how people use visual thinking to solveproblems,andhowtheyvisualizeimaginedsituationsandworlds.

SymposiumS1:FormalandCognitiveReasoning(Monday,14:00,H2)
Organizers:ChristophBeierle,GabrieleKern-Isberner,MarcoRagni,FriederStolzenburg
Reasoningabout(spatial)informationisusuallypervadedbyuncertaintyandsubjecttochange.Thisisnotuniquetohumanreasoning,butitalsoappliestocognitivesystems.Thus there is an increasing demand both from psychology and computer science fornon-classical reasoning approaches. So far, many advanced and sophisticated ap-proachesofknowledgerepresentationandreasoninghavenotyetbeenmadeaccessibleforcognitiveapproaches,andinsightsgainedfromcognitionareonlyrarelyreflectedinformalapproaches.Generally,peopleemploybothinductiveanddeductivereasoningtoarriveatbeliefs;butthesameargumentthat is inductivelystrongorpowerfulmaybedeductively invalid. Therefore, awide range of reasoningmechanisms has to be con-sidered. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette ofmethods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and tomodel AIapproaches.Beyondcomputationalaspects,thesemethodsaimtoreflecttherichvarietyofhumanreasoninginuncertainanddynamicenvironments.Theaimofthissymposiumistoaddressrecentchallengesandtopresentnovelapproachestouncertainreasoningin its broad sense, including new insights from cognitive psychology, neuroscience,cognitive computing, and human computation, combining psychological models, un-certain(spatial)reasoning,andcomputerscience.Reflectingthisfocus,thesymposium“FormalandCognitiveReasoning”atKogWis2016isorganizedjointlybytheGIspecialinterestgroupsWissensrepräsentationundSchließenandKognition.

Spaceisamulti-faceteddimensionandtheawarenessandthecomprehensionofspatialinformation is critical for the interactionwith our environment. Different approacheshavebeenperformedtogaininsightintotheunderlyingmechanismsofspatialinforma-tion process. This symposium will bring together a selection of experimental andtheoretical approaches originating from Cognitive and Computer Science, Psychology,Linguistics, Geography, and Architecture to investigate the representation and pro-cessingofspatialinformation.In this symposium,wewill tackle the question how saliency and uniqueness of land-marks influenceroute learning,particularly inelderlywayfinders,andwilldiscuss therelationbetweenperceptualinformation,spatialrepresentationsandhowtheyareinte-gratedintospatiallanguage.Acomputationalmodelwillbepresentedthatexplainsper-spectivetakingintermsofajointinfluenceofinterferenceonthecognitiveandthemo-torlevel.Further,wewilllookintothepredictionofnavigationabilitywhichapparentlycannotbereducedtoacoreprocessingcapability.Wewilladdressthequestionsabouttheminimalroomrepresentationsformedindifferentlearningsituationsandhowthisrepresentational selectiondoesbalance costs from integrationand retrieval.

SymposiumS3:CognitionandManualAction(Monday,14:00,H3)Organizers:DirkKoesterandChristianSeegelke
Thehumanhandisamarvelouscomplexandflexibletoolandpeoplehavealwaysbeenintriguedby itsmultifunctionalutilization.Manyof ourdaily activities require (inten-tional)physicalinteractionswithoneorbothhandsandpossiblywithmultipleobjects.Consequently, the domain of grasping and objectmanipulation provides a fascinatingfield of research for cognitive neuroscience, because both sensorimotor and cognitivefunctions are involved. In this symposium,wewill bring together scientists from dif-ferentdisciplineswhowillpresenttheirlatestresearchfromthefrontiersoftheinter-action of sensorimotor and cognitive processes in the context of grasping, using avarietyofdiverseapproachesandmethodologies.Specifically,datawillbepresentedonhowthecentralnervoussystemmasterstheredundancyinthedegreesoffreedomforthe upper limb by means of kinematic and force synergies during unconstrainedgrasping. In addition, examination of coordinative patterns between gaze and handmovementsusingeyetrackingprovidesinsightsintotheroleofeye-movementsintheplanning of sequential actions. Furthermore, the role of working memory and objectrepresentationsintheplanningandcontrolofreach-to-graspactionswillbediscussedusing behavioral (RT and kinematics), neurophysiological (EEG), and neuroimaging(fMRI)methods.Thissymposiumisanattempttoextendourunderstandingofgraspingand the interactions with other cognitive domains and to contribute to the furtherdevelopmentoflatestneurocognitivetheoriesofmovementsandcognition.

SymposiumS5:SocialPerception(Thursday,09:00,H2)Organizer:TobiasSchlicht
Inthedebateaboutsocialunderstanding,thepossibilityofdirectlyperceivingthemen-tal states of others has been proposed as an alternative to cognitivelymore sophisti-catedstrategiesasformulatedbytheory-theoryandsimulation-theory.Whatisatstakein thisdebate iswhether thepsychologicalprocessesunderlying socialunderstandinghave to be conceived of as perceptual or cognitive or inferential. In this symposium,various questions concerning the possibility of direct social perception of states likeemotions and intentionswill be addressed. ShaunGallagher (University ofMemphis),oneof thechiefproponentsof socialperceptionwill clarifyhowperceptionandothermindsshouldbeconceivedforsocialperceptiontobepossibleanddefendthisproposalinthe lightofrecentobjections. J.SuilinLavelle(UniversityofEdinburgh) investigateswhetherproponentsofatheory-basedapproacharecommittedtotheclaimthatmentalstatesareunobservable.Shedefendsatheory-basedapproachbyexploringwhatkindsof psychological state can be considered observable if one is to take this approach,focusingparticularlyonwhethernon-folkpsychologicalstatescanbeperceived.Finally,TobiasSchlicht(Ruhr-UniversitätBochum)thendiscussessocialperceptionagainstthebackgroundofthedebatebetweenanenactiveperspectiveonperceptionandcognitionandamore traditional representationalistperspectiveon these capacities.Basedonanotion of perception in terms of predictive coding, the focus is on the structure andcontentof themental representationsunderlying social perceptionandpossible func-tionsforsocialperception.Speakers:ShaunGallagher,J.SuilinLavelle,TobiasSchlichtSymposiumS6:MentalFilesinCognitiveScience:Corecognition,ConceptsandMindreading(Thursday,14:00,H1)

Organizers:Ana-MariaOlteteanuandZoeFalomir
Problem-solving,computationalcreativity,humancreativecognitionandspatialcogni-tion are topics often treated separately, despite their major potential for synergies.Problem-solvinghasbeenapproachedindifferentwaysbyartificialintelligenceandthestudyofhumancognition.Forexample,humansfaceill-structuredproblem-solvingveryoften,howeverprocessestotacklesuchproblems,liketheuseofre-representation,arerarelyimplementedincognitiveagents.Computational creativity focuses on building creative artificial systems capable ofcreativefeatssimilartothoseachievedbyhumansandmodesofevaluationthatcanbeusedtoassesssuchsystems.However,theprocessesandrepresentationsinthefieldarerarelycomparedtothoseusedbyhumans.
Humancreativecognition investigates thewayhumanssolveamultiplicityofcreativetasks,fromthesimple(comingupwithanalternativeuseforanobject)tothecomplex(solving insight problems), asking questions about process. However, no tools andframeworks exist for implementing computational approaches to test hypotheses in aunifiedmanner.

TutorialsTutorial T1: Detecting and Discouraging Non-Cooperative Behavior in OnlineRatingTasks(Thursday,09:00and14:00,S1360)Instructors:JanaHäussler,TomJuzek
More and more researchers use crowdsourced rating tasks for data collection. In arating task, participants are asked to evaluate some stimuluswith respect to a givenscale(e.g.theyevaluatethesimilarityoftwostimuliona7-pointscale).However,pre-viousstudiesdemonstratedthatcrowdsourcingisquitesusceptibletonon-cooperativebehavior (NCB), i.e. someparticipantsarenot complyingwith the task.Critically,NCBhasasignificantimpactonthequalityoftheresultsthatgoesbeyondmerenoise.
Thisworkshoppresentsresponse-timebasedstrategiesfordetectinganddiscouragingNCB. In Session 1, we motivate their relevance, outline their functioning, and walkthrough the statistical part. We will show why a median-based criterion is moreeffectivethanamean-basedorabsoluteoneandwewill justifyaresponse-time-basedwarning mechanism that discourages NCB effectively.

Theoretical positions from historical figures in philosophy are not only interesting intheirownrightbutcansometimesbeespeciallyhelpfulinteachingussystematicwaysof inquiry that are ignored or simply unknown in contemporary debates. It has beenclaimedthatmanyofKant’s ideasmakehimtheintellectualgodfatherofcognitivesci-ence (e.g.hisdistinctionofperceptsandconcepts,hismethodof transcendentalargu-ment). Inseveralrecentpublications,authorshavesuggestedthatvariousclaimsfromKant’s tentative Philosophy of Mind not only have counterparts in the contemporarycognitivescienceofthemindbutcanguidecognitivescienceinitsquesttodiscoverthefunction and nature of consciousness, perception and other phenomena.This tutorialhastwopurposes:First,to(a)outlinecentralclaimsofKant’sphilosophyofMind.ThisisnoeasytasksinceKanthasnotfullydevelopedafull-fledgedtheoryofconsciousnessormentalphenomena;rather,everythinghehastosayaboutthestructureandfunctionof mental phenomena is in the service of his epistemological project of developing atheoryofknowledge.Thesecondpurposeisto(b)situateKant’sclaimsincontemporarydebatesonconsciousness,(c)toevaluatewhichofhisclaimsarestillofuseforathor-oughlynaturalistapproach to themindand,morespecifically (d) toevaluatewhetherrecent claims that recent developments in cognitive neuroscience suggest a “Kantianbrain”arejustified.
