Seminar: Reasoning and Planning Approaches in Cognition

Abstract

Despite great advances in AI planning there are only few different approaches describing how human planning. Most approaches still focus on variants of means-end-analysis introduced by Newell & Simon in 1963. In this seminar we will  briefly review existing planning formalism and approaches from AI and cognitive science. In a second step experimental results are discussed and related to formal approaches. Particularly we will investigate the following questions:
 

1. What kind of approaches in AI and cognitive science for planning do exist?
2. Are AI approaches useful to model human planning?
3. Are cognitive approaches and heuristics useful to improve AI planning?
4. What are AI and cognitive benchmark problems?
5. What are neural correlates for planning?

 
The seminar is open for students in computer science, psychology, and cognitive science.
