1      The workshop theme


The roots of logic go back to antiquity, where it was mostly used as a tool for analyzing
human argumentation. In the 19th century Gottlob Frege, one of the founders of modern
logic and analytic philosophy, introduced anti-psychologism in the philosophy of mathe-
matics. In the following years anti-psychologism, the view that the nature of mathematical
truth is independent of human ideas, was one of the philosophical driving forces behind
the success of mathematical logic. During the same period in the 19th century, also mod-
ern psychology (Helmholtz, Wundt) was born. However, the notion of anti-psychologism
often stood in the way of a potential merge of the disciplines and led to a significant sepa-
ration between logic and psychology research agendas and methods. Only since the 1960s,
together with the growth of cognitive science inspired by the ‘mind as computer’ meta-
phor, the two disciplines have started to interact more and more. Today, we finally ob-
serve an increase in the collaborative effort between logicians, computer scientists, lin-
guists, cognitive scientists, philosophers, and psychologists.

Topics of the workshop revolve around empirical research motivated by logical theories
as well as logics inspired by experimental studies reflecting an increasing collaboration
between logicians and cognitive scientists.


2      Invited talks at the workshop

In addition to the contributed talks, of which the articles are gathered in this volume, the
workshop also presents two invited talks:
    • Paul Egré and David Ripley Vagueness and hysteresis: a case study in color cat-
         egorization
    • Iris van Rooij Rationality, intractability and the prospects of “as if” explanations
The abstracts of both presentations may be found in this volume.
3      Best papers

The Programme Committee of the workshop decided to award the Best Paper Prize to:
Nina Gierasimczuk, Han van der Maas, and Maartje Raijmakers for the paper Logical and
Psychological Analysis of Deductive Mastermind.

The Best Student Paper Prize was awarded to Fabian Schlotterbeck and Oliver Bott for
the paper Easy Solutions for a Hard Problem? The Computational Complexity of Recipro-
cals with Quantificational Antecedents.
